Fanjing Mountain: The Premier Mountain of Guizhou and a Marvelous Buddhist Sanctuary

Explore the majestic and treacherous Fanjing Mountain in Guizhou, one of China's five major Buddhist mountains, known as the Pure Land of Brahma.

Fanjing Mountain boasts stunning natural beauty, with towering stone pillars that rise like giant bamboo shoots from the ground, yet split in two. At the peaks of these two perilous cliffs stand two Buddhist temples: Shakyamuni Hall and Maitreya Hall, connected by a heavenly bridge, creating a truly magical sight.

The stone pillars of Fanjing Mountain are incredibly spectacular, but due to its high altitude, it is often shrouded in mist. Seeing the clear blue sky over Fanjing Mountain requires a stroke of luck.

To reach the top, you must first take a cable car from the foot of the mountain, then proceed along a wooden walkway through the forest to the Mushroom Rock platform. The Red Cloud Golden Summit of Fanjing Mountain is right before your eyes! The summit is crowded with visitors, but fortunately, it is a one-way path, otherwise, the steep stairs would be quite intimidating. Standing at an elevation of 2,336 meters, Fanjing Mountain truly deserves its title as the premier mountain of Guizhou.
