Tongren Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)

People from the south always have to visit the Fanjing Mountain in Guizhou

This is the city of the sky in China, like a green ark floating in the vast sea of clouds, standing in the continuous Wuling Mountain Range, telling the vicissitudes of more than a billion years, this is the illusion of the Buddhist country Fanjing Mountain. Fanjing Mountain is located in the vast hinterland of the Wuling Mountain area, one of the oldest areas that rose from the sea to the land south of the Yellow River. It is the first mountain in Guizhou, the first peak of Wuling, not only the watershed of the Wujiang and Yuanjiang rivers, but also the highest main peak of the Wuling Mountain Range that spans Guizhou, Chongqing, Hunan, and Hubei. After billions of years of baptism, it still maintains the most primitive ecological environment. The magic of Fanjing Mountain is created by the nature's craftsmanship. 🏔"You must go to Fanjing Mountain, to see the pure land of Fan Tian lost in the world" Take your loved ones to feel the real city in the sky!

Fanjing mountain - a dream

We came to climb the mountain just a few days before the Chinese New year holiday and we found that there were not too many people. We stayed near the entrance so that we could just walk to the ticket office once we finished our breakfast. currently the ticket is free if you are Chinese but I had to pay 70 rmb. I think it was half price because of the winter season. we took the cable car up and walked the rest up to the mushroom stone. Because of snow we were not able to climb to the last peak to the top of the mountain but it was still amazing. #newyearadventure #fanjingshan #travel #explore #china #guizhou

Yamugou is located in Jiangkou County, Tongren City, Guizhou Province, with a total length of 50 kilometers. It has been known as "the first gully in Guizhou" since ancient times. Yamugou originates from "the top of Wuling" Fanjing Mountain, one of the eight major water systems of Fanjing Mountain, and is the authentic "famous mountain and holy water". According to records, Yamugou was known as "Ghost Valley" and "Hidden Dragon Valley" before the Tang Dynasty. Later, a divine tree grew in the valley, which looked like stone and wood, was transparent all over, had a strange fragrance, could drive away evil spirits and cure diseases, and eating its fruit could make couples who had not given birth for many years have children. This attracted countless local people to worship it, and it was named "Yamu", which means "tree god" in ancient Tujia language, hence the name "Yamugou", which has been used ever since. 1. Natural scenery: There are many beautiful natural landscapes in Yamugou, such as colorful caves, Milky Way waterfalls, and Dragon Cave.

Its natural scenery and ethnic customs have left a deep impression on me. Here, I feel the magic of nature and the beauty of humans living in harmony with nature. The only shortcoming is that the facilities in the scenic area need to be improved, and the tourist guide is not clear enough. I hope that the scenic area can improve in this area and provide tourists with a better experience.

Guizhou's number one gully, the canned air of Yumugou

It is only 8.2km away from Fanjing Mountain. The average annual temperature is 17 degrees, cool and refreshing, rich in negative oxygen ions, and is known as the canned air. Yumugou is 50km long and is known as the number one gully in Guizhou. Take a sightseeing car directly to the Ming Dynasty ancient courtyard at the top of the mountain, where Liu Bowen once lived in seclusion. Then go down the mountain along the steps, you can pass the quiet Fairy Lake. And the scenery of the colorful canyon is beautiful, and the stream is clear. It is a good place to kiss nature.

The Yamugou, which is raining and leaching, gives a feeling of special sensation. It flows slowly along the stream. Every step is a landscape, and you can shoot beautiful and beautiful movies. Unfortunately, there is no tripod, it is all hand-held, and the composition is affected, but it is enough. According to records, before the Tang Dynasty, Yamugou was called "Ghost Valley", also known as "Hidden Dragon Ditch". Later, due to the growth of a god tree in the valley, it resembled a stone like wood, and the whole body was clear and the flowers were different. It can exorcise the evils and cure the disease, and eat the fruits. It can make the couples who have not been bred for many years, and attract countless people from different places to worship them. They are called "Yaki", which means "tree god" in the ancient Tujia language. Therefore, it was named "Yimugou" and it has been used ever since. Yamugou has been hailed as the first ditch in Guizhou since ancient times. Rainy days to play Yamugou must pay attention to anti-skid, especially when taking pictures under the stream. Yamugou's physical requirements are not high, and it takes about one and a half hours to get back and forth. The Yumugou Scenic Area is very close to the Fanjing Mountain Scenic Area and can be used together. There is a local folk museum at the entrance to Yamugou, and you can spend more time interested in local folk customs.

Feel a different kind of bonfire in Zhaisha Village! April's Fanjing Mountain is full of azaleas, so I can't help but make a ticket and say I will leave. What I didn't expect was that when I arrived at Fanjing Mountain, the temperature was close to zero, and there was really a sense of despair that was frozen into a dog. In the evening, I stayed at the nearest Zhaisha Village at the foot of Fanjing Mountain. The bonfire party in a city made me feel hot again. I didn't feel the cold smell in the air. Zhaisha Village is located in a remote area, 27 kilometers from the county, 3 kilometers from the gate of Fanjing Mountain Scenic Area, 1 kilometer from the ecological botanical garden, close to Fanjingshan Buddhist Culture Garden (the world's largest golden Buddha). Zhaimen, Square, Bell and Drum Tower, Farmhouse, and 64-storey two-story slings are typical buildings of the village. Zhaisha is in the foothills of the magical Fanjing Mountain. The clear Taiping River flows slowly from the front of the gate, and the ancient trees on the riverside are towering. Surrounded by the entire village of Qingshan, it is like a paradise. Tips: It is now the peak season for Fanjing Mountain Tourism. Accommodation in Zhaisha Village must be booked in advance. Then the temperature difference here is very big, especially when it rains, warm clothing such as jackets must be brought.

Zhai Sha Zhai, the mother-in-law of the mother-in-law, lies at the foot of Fanjing Mountain. In the middle of the mountains, Zhaisha is like a lazy girl who is half-baked in Qiulou Yuyu. In the evening, in the evening, I lit a bonfire to let the fire shine on the waves under the shore, igniting a pile of bonfires, igniting distant memories, igniting a bonfire, a burning friendship.

In the Mt. Fanjing Mountain, there is a beautiful village called Zhaisha. In the source of the Jinjiang River, there is a simple ethnic group called the Yi. The village of Zhaisha at the foot of Fanjing Mountain, the patchwork of the Drum Tower and the green mountains and green waters. Sitting in the mountain village far away from the hustle and bustle, there is a rare elegance and coziness in the Van Gogh green buds of the Van Gogh Mountain Ecological Kingdom. Try the unique green and fresh taste of Jiangkou Lingshan Xiushui. Wild vegetables can forget the world's troubles and harvest a natural and quiet exotic flavor.

Not far from Fanjing Mountain Scenic Area, about two or three kilometers. The whole stockade is surrounded by mountains, and a small river flows slowly from the front of the village. It is a very leisurely village. A suspension bridge connects the two banks of the river. It has a unique style. The river is not deep. In the hot summer, many tourists and locals play water on the shore. The whole village is not large. It is a typical building with two wooden stilts. Using the aerial camera to shoot, you can see that each home has a courtyard, if you can stay here for a few nights, don't mention how comfortable it is. Zhaimen, Square, Bell and Drum Tower, Farmhouse, 64nd floor, two-story slings are typical buildings of the village. Zhaisha is in the foothills of the magical Fanjing Mountain. The clear Taiping River flows slowly from the front of the gate, and the ancient trees on the riverside are towering. The entire stockade is surrounded by green hills, nestled in the maolin bamboo, like a paradise.

The scenes in my dream actually appeared in Guizhou - Tongren Grand Canyon

Tongren Grand Canyon, the belle of canyons, features exquisite and delicate attractions, with a complete range of canyon scenery. The whole journey takes just over two hours (including the round-trip by boat), and you can also choose a one-way trip (about an hour), entering from the Tianshengqiao scenic area and exiting through the Tongren Grand Canyon (or vice versa). There is a No. 20 bus from Tongren train station that goes near the scenic spot, then you can take a taxi. To get to the Tianshengqiao scenic area, you can get off at the bus stop 'Jiu Zhong' and choose to walk or take a taxi. Visiting time: If you're only visiting the Grand Canyon, it takes about two hours. If you don't spend much time taking photos, it might be around an hour and a half. If you plan to visit the Tianshengqiao area, it will take about an hour. I personally recommend going on a sunny day, as the water and waterfalls in the canyon are especially beautiful! Also, I suggest going in the morning when there are fewer people, which is great for taking photos. Suggested visiting route There is only one entrance and exit to the scenic area. You can choose to visit Tianshengqiao first and then the canyon, or vice versa! Overall, I feel that Tianshengqiao is about seeing the bigger waterfalls, and the canyon is a great place for taking photos, especially the Lover's Valley. About Tianshengqiao scenic area I highly recommend this area. Initially, I read online that Tianshengqiao scenic area was just for boat tours, and I wasn't planning to go. But since I was already there, I decided to give it a try, and it turned out to be incredibly beautiful. There are many gorgeous waterfalls, and on sunny days, the waterfalls create beautiful rainbows when they catch the sunlight. There are also mandarin ducks in the area, and the water here is really beautiful!!!

The niche Tongren Grand Canyon

Are you sure you don't want to give it a try? If you decide to visit, I recommend the Tianshengqiao scenic spot and the Tongren Grand Canyon area, because the local transportation is not very convenient, so I recommend two ways for everyone! Transportation: ①Self-driving or renting a car: Navigate to the Tianshengqiao scenic area, Buy a boat ticket to the Grand Canyon, walk the glass plank road to view the canyon, then return by boat to the Tianshengqiao scenic area. ②Chartered car: Drop off at the entrance of the Tianshengqiao scenic area, pick up at the entrance of the Tongren Grand Canyon, and go through the whole journey without turning back! Tickets: The tickets for the scenic spots are sold separately, 120 yuan for the Grand Canyon and 100 yuan for the round-trip Tianshengqiao cruise. It is recommended to buy a joint ticket for 200 yuan, which can save 20 yuan. Sightseeing: Divided into the upper stream (navigate to Tongren Grand Canyon) and the lower stream (navigate to Tianshengqiao), the upper stream ends entry at 16:30 and the lower stream at 17:30. So everyone should manage their time well when visiting. There are also rafting, rock climbing, and adventure plank roads within the scenic area, and these activities are charged separately! Be sure to watch out and avoid any pitfalls. Please note: There is only one restroom within the scenic area! Try to take care of your needs outside before entering (there is a restroom in the parking lot). Alright, that's pretty much it. Finally, just follow the above to visit. Everyone will definitely have a great time. Personal suggestion: Self-driving is the most comfortable way to travel.

The lesser-known scenic spot in Guizhou---Tongren Grand Canyon

The Tongren Grand Canyon is located in the Songtao Miao Autonomous County of Tongren City, about 30km from Tongren City and about 40 kilometers from the ancient city of Fenghuang in Hunan. Upon entering the Tongren Grand Canyon, you must first pass through a 40m tunnel, which makes the canyon seem very mysterious. The canyon is steep, hidden, secluded, vast, strange, and dangerous, with pristine canyons and forests. The dust-free fresh air and charming stream waterfall combine to form a fantastic natural landscape. The most attractive part of the canyon is the Xiaolongtan Waterfall and a line of sky. Coming to the Tongren Grand Canyon, you can't help but sigh at the wonders of nature. The mountains and waters of Guizhou will never disappoint you..

Tongren Grand Canyon

Karst landforms have created many canyons in the Wuling Mountain area, and the Tongren Grand Canyon is the most representative of them. The river in the Tongren Grand Canyon originates from the Suma River in the Kerong area of the Phoenix Lare Mountain area, and after passing through Panxin and Miao Wangcheng, it converges with other rivers in Songtao to the Machao River. The Tongren Grand Canyon extends from the outlet of the Machao River Power Station to the dam of the Tiansheng Bridge Power Station. The scenic area is full of clear water, strange stones, dense forests, blooming flowers, clouds and mist, cliffs, karst caves and waterfalls, and charming scenery. The Tongren Grand Canyon tourist area is divided into three parts: the canyon, rafting, and lake tour. It combines steepness, seclusion, tranquility, vastness, strangeness, and danger, with the original canyon and forest, dust-free fresh air, and charming stream waterfall combinations to form a fantastic natural landscape.

Miao Wang City: Seeking the Most Beautiful Nostalgia in Spring

Miao Wang City is located in Xinzhai Village, Songtao County, Tongren City, with a long history. It has been managed by dozens of Miao kings since the Ming Dynasty, and now has a history of more than 600 years. It is the only well-preserved ancient Miao fortress in the southwestern region that integrates politics, economy, culture, military, and architecture. Miao Wang City covers an area of ten square kilometers. Based on the mountain shape and water potential, there are six ancient military fortresses built in front and back. Inside the ancient fortress, there are eleven lanes, and within the lanes, there are eleven fortress gates to resist foreign enemies. The stilted buildings in the fortress are typical of Miao family characteristics, and the crooked paths are a unique architectural style of the ancient fortress. The Awakening of Insects has passed, and all things are reviving. The gentle spring rain nourishes the mountains and the earth. For a time, the ethereal and pleasant sound of birdsong, the rustling of insects, the rustling of wind blowing through the leaves, and the sound of water flowing in mountain streams and valleys all play the symphony of nature. March is the perfect season to visit Miao Wang City for a spring outing. The river that flows through the fortress, the peculiar and precipitous cliffs, the dense forests, the elegant Miao-style wind and rain bridges, as well as the Miao women washing clothes by the river, the playful children, and the singing of Miao people working in the fields, create a dreamlike atmosphere for visitors, as if 'traveling in a painting' and merging with nature, returning to nature and to oneself in the landscape gallery of Miao Wang City. Miao Wang City combines mountains, water, caves, springs, waterfalls, canyons, forests, ancient trees, tea gardens, primitive villages, military lanes, and Miao customs into one. It is an ideal destination for tourism, vacation, leisure, and adventure, known as 'the first fortress in a thousand miles of Miao territory.' It is the famous hometown of Miao songs, Miao drums, folk stunts, and a film and television shooting base. In Miao Wang City, Miao girls in full silver dress will warmly sing card songs and perform the door-blocking ceremony, offering up the mellow Miao King rice wine. In the green-tiled wooden houses, the fragrant Miao family meals are served. Beside the spinning wheel, the old grandmother and the girl weaving flower belts speak the incomprehensible Miao dialect. The affectionate dark kerchief left on the handsome young man's face is the love of the kitchen smoke, and under the ancient tree, the frenzied entertainment of the gods is the spirited old Miao master. The bare-chested young men dance a strong and unrestrained drum dance. The rain in Miao Wang City has its own gentle character. It falls slowly and lasts long, with a touch of tenderness and a hint of vitality. In the drizzle, walking with an umbrella, strolling through the ancient streets, or sitting alone under the corridor, each is a scenery, beautiful enough to intoxicate the heart. The sky is blue, waiting for the misty rain, and in March, Miao Wang City is waiting for you. Tips: It is recommended to drive by yourself, as the journey is scenic. For more strategies, you can refer to Ctrip to make a good plan.

At the entrance to the scenic spot, there is a tea sea that is being expanded. Only when I walked in, there was a smell of scent that floated to my nose, and I couldnt help but linger and be drunk. Looking far away, you can see a number of trails leading to the depths of the tea. There are also staff nearby, using machines to harvest tea trees in a ridge. Going higher, there is also a cement platform specially set up for tourists to enjoy the tea sea. Looking at it, the tea trees are neatly arranged, and the mountains are undulating, like a green sea. A gust of wind blew, and a burst of tea scented, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Miao Wangfu is different from the former Miaowang's former residence. It is quite magnificent. Of course, the current buildings are rebuilt according to the records at that time. I want to see Miao Wang not only have no difference with the emperor in official business, but even the usual seat. The chair is also comparable to the specifications of the Golden Temple, which is far from the emperor. Strolling in the Miaojiang King City, what makes you stay and be moved is not the so-called modern architecture, but the vicissitudes and mottled ancient meanings that can be seen everywhere in the ordinary lanes. The impression of Songtao has made me subvert all previous imaginations. If you only know a little about the life of Miao people, you must not miss this station in Miaowangcheng.

The wonderful Miao stunt performance performed at noon every day can be said to be the trump card show of Miaowangcheng. Why do you say the trump card, because most of the actors here are all on the famous variety shows such as "I want to go to the Spring Festival Evening". The word "stunt" of our "skilled pine" is also reflected in this. Whether it is the singer-songing singer, the singer, the singer, or the slashing mountain, these stunts are always reminding you that they are the fighting people of the martial arts, brave and fearless. .
