Tongren Ancient Town is surrounded by mountains on one side and water on three sides. Two rivers originating from Fanjing run from west to north and merge in Tongren, which is called Jinjiang. The Jinjiang River encircles the city for half a week, goes eastward to the corner of Tongren, and flows into the Hunan Shuiyuan. Along the Jinjiang River, there are the majestic Liulongshan Grottoes. Among them, the developed Jiulong Cave is one of the top ten scenic spots in Guizhou.

Although dynasties have changed and the world has changed, Fan Jing's charm remains forever. What's the reason? What factors create Fan Jing’s infinite charm and great temptation? Fanjing Mountain is located at the junction of Jiangkou, Yinjiang and Songtao counties in Tongren area, with an altitude of 2,493 meters. It is not only the highest mountain in Guizhou, but also the main peak of Wuling Mountain. It is a giant standing on the slopes from the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau to the hills of western Hunan. Its ancient mountains have a history of 1.0-1.4 billion years and are the oldest terraces south of the Yellow River. In addition, the mountain is huge and deep, the peaks are majestic, and the main peak towers into the clouds. Therefore, the monument built by the ancient emperor during the Wanli Period of the Ming Dynasty (AD 1618) was called the famous Yue Zhizong. The magical power of nature adds intoxicating natural scenery to Fan Jingshan. The mountain is either majestic and steep or beautiful. Fascinating is the new golden dome. On a mountain with an altitude of more than 2,200 meters, a stone pillar suddenly appeared, about 100 meters high. It looks like an unearthed giant bamboo shoot, or a jade dragon roaring in the sky, surrounded by red clouds, pointing straight into the sky. Natural human ingenuity bisects the top of the mountain in two. On the top of the two mountains are the Sakyamuni Hall and the Maitreya Buddha Hall, with an overpass in the middle and incense burning to the sky. There are also the Mushroom Stone that supports clouds independently, the Prince Stone that looks at mom on the mountain, the Wanjuan Shu (rock) that looks like a book, and so on. It’s both physical and spiritual, so amazing! As for the Buddha's light that often appears on the top of Fanjing Mountain, it looks more charming. The water trickles, drops, hangs in the air, or roars, extremely clear. The backwater turns and merges into the Jiujiu River. It follows the east-west direction of the mountains and merges into the Jinjiang River and Songjiang River in the east. It goes straight to the Yuanjiang River and enters Dongting Lake; it goes west to merge into the Yinjiang River and goes straight to the Wujiang River to merge into the Yangtze River. There are trees everywhere in the mountains, with green eyes, flowers blooming and falling, birds and animals singing, a natural picture. There are clouds, fog, wind and waves here, which also add a lot of mystery to Fan Jing. On this mountain, it's like painting the Bank of China, and it's like traveling on a fairy mountain. The ancients said that there are many famous monks in the world. Nature has created Fanjing's unique scenery, and Buddhists are famous for its beautiful scenery. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Fan Jingshan was already well known as an ancient Buddhist domain. Near Fanjing Dishui Rock, there is a stone tablet specially erected by Emperor Wanli. The inscription reads: This tourist resort in central Guizhou has an ancient Buddhist and Taoist temple named Fan Jingshan, which is the Anhui Temple. Due to the war, Fan Jing's mountain has declined, which is what the inscription says: The sky mourns the decline of the famous mountain, but it is enough for the saints to appoint a monk Miaoxuan to rebuild the Golden Summit Hall. The inscription compares Fan Jingshan's ancient Buddhist dojo to its peak period and reaching the Paradise Palace. It is recorded in it that since the founding of Fan Jingshan Buddhism, incense has been prosperous, and worshipers have flocked to it, and even princes and nobles have flocked to it. The reputation of Mount Fanjing has already spread to Nanjing and Beijing, and even alarmed local princes in thirteen provinces. The name Jingshan has a strong Buddhist flavor and comes from the Pure Land of Brahma. According to historical records, Fan Jing's original name was Sangu, but it later became Fan Jingshan. You probably have to ask the Buddhist monks back then. The magical power of nature also makes Fanjing a primitive and original ecological kingdom. Fanjing Mountain is the original base of biodiversity because it is a large mountain with a large vertical height difference. Mount Fanjing not only has a variety of animals and plants growing all over the mountain, but also rare animals such as Guizhou golden monkeys, giant salamanders (giant salamanders), white-necked pheasants, and clouded leopards. There are also world-famous animals such as Guizhou Wei Zi and Chinese dove tree (Davidia involucrata). The only rare plants in the world. The primitive biological community of Fanshan has become a huge wealth of mankind and has extremely high scientific research value and protection value.
The State Council designated it as a national nature reserve in 1978. In 1986, UNESCO accepted Fan Jingshan as the Global Man and Biosphere Conservation Network (China has only five member units). Fan Jingshan is lucky because at the same latitude of the earth, it is the only one that retains such primitive and primitive biological groups. Jingshan's luck is not only due to the blessings of his ancestors, but also to the protection of contemporary people. At the foot of Fanjing Mountain, there live Tujia, Miao, Dong, Han, Qiang and other ethnic groups. Here, you can appreciate the colorful ethnic customs and experience Fan Jing's rich and profound humanistic culture. The most valuable one is the art of calligraphy. Yinjiang is just a small county at the foot of Fanjing Mountain, extremely closed. But since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, many famous calligraphers have appeared. Yan, who is famous both at home and abroad for his inscription on the Summer Palace plaque, is one of the outstanding representatives. Yinjiang has become a famous hometown of calligraphy. In the two forests of steles at the foot of Fanjing Mountain, you can appreciate the calligraphy works of contemporary calligraphy masters such as Zhao Puchu, Qi Gong, Shen Peng and others. It is also a mountainous area rich in revolutionary tradition. During the Second Civil Revolutionary War, He Long and other older generation revolutionaries established the first red base area on the Guizhou Plateau in 1934, namely the Communist Party of China Soviet Union and the Guoqiandong Special Administrative Region, which stood in several counties at the foot of Fanjing Mountain. Fan Jing’s past belongs to our ancestors, while Fan Jing’s present and future belong not only to our local people and our descendants, but also to all mankind. With the gradual establishment of the concept of grand tourism and grand opening, Fan Jing will connect the scenic spots represented by Zhangjiajie and Wulingyuan in the east with the scenic spots represented by Yanghe and Cunningham in the south on the premise of protecting nature to form a reasonable The tourism chain forms the golden triangle of tourism in Guizhou and Hunan. Coupled with the reopening of Tongren Daxing Airport, the reconstruction of the high-grade highway from Yuping to Tongren, the completion of the Fanjing Mountain Cableway, and the upcoming opening of the Huaiyu Railway, Fanjing will gradually become a new tourist hotspot. This is also the hope of colleagues. Fanjing is a famous Buddhist mountain, an ecological kingdom, a scenic spot and a pure land. Who doesn't yearn for such a paradise on earth, where you can return to nature and nourish your body and mind! Fanjing is the main peak of Wuling Mountain, and the subtropical forest ecosystem is well preserved. Fanshan is famous for its beautiful scenery and is known as the Ninety-Nine Streams. These streams come together
Fan Jing's most precious animal is the Guizhou golden monkey, which is called the only child in the world. It is also known as the gray snub-nosed monkey because of the blue-gray fur on its back. Fanjing is the only distribution area in the world. Initially, there were only three animals in 1991-1993. There are now only more than 500 left and it is one of the world's endangered species. The distribution environment of Guizhou golden monkeys is relatively special. They mainly live in Songjiang County in the northeastern part of the nature reserve, at an altitude of 1,400-1,800 meters. The terrain there is rugged and heavily wooded. It feeds on leaves, buds, bark and fruits of various plants and lives a typical group arboreal life. Each group is composed of people of different ages, and the strongest male monkey is the group leader. However, the various groups do not communicate with each other, and the geographical scope of their activities does not overlap, so they are limited to fixed territories. There is a custom of robbing the bodies of the injured and dead. 2 Jiulong Cave: Jiulong Cave Scenic Area is located in Yangtou Town in the east of the city. It is a good tourist destination close to the urban area. At the northern end of the Liulong Mountains, this cave is located in the Grand Canyon on the south bank of the Jinjiang River. There are many peaks here, deep valleys, lush bamboo trees and intact vegetation. There are not only magnificent caves, majestic and steep Jinjiang Canyon, but also beautiful scenery. Kowloon Cave is the main attraction of this attraction. It is spacious, grand and has many views. The (main) cave is 2,284 meters long, more than 100 meters wide, 75 to 80 meters high, and covers an area of ??more than 70,000 square meters. The entire cave is divided into 8 halls and an underground river. The hall is divided into two floors, with Hall 6 on the upper floor and Hall 2 on the lower floor. There is a small hole between the upper and lower halls and the cave, which is unfathomable. The cave is full of stalactites, stone pillars, stone curtains, stone waterfalls, stone curtains, stone flowers, stone needles, etc. Some of them are like galloping seas of clouds, some are like birds and beasts, and some are like exotic flowers and plants. They are indescribably wonderful and majestic, making people forget to leave. You can arrive by bus from the downtown attractions or by tourist boat at Ximen Bridge Ferry, which is a good choice to enjoy the beautiful scenery and good ecological landscape along the Jinjiang River. }, when people took cars and boats to cross the river on the other side of Jinjiang River, they were all on horseback, but it was no problem to walk. Tourists who like to relax and those who want to experience the feeling of horse riding can choose. When they buy tickets at the door, they can register and enter the cave to enjoy the magnificent natural wonders of the cave. [3] Jinjiang Tourist Area flows out from Fanjing, a famous Buddhist mountain. There are two rivers, one is called Dajiang and the other is Xiaojiang. The two rivers cross mountains and valleys and meet in Tongren City to form Jinjiang. At the intersection of the three rivers, a huge stone stands in the middle of the river, becoming the mainstay of Tongren, Tongyan. On the rock are enshrined three bronze statues of Confucius, Laozi and Sakyamuni, the founders of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, which gave rise to the historical origin of Tongren. Tongren is named Tongren for this reason. Because the teachings and purposes of the three ancestors all centered on benevolence, it was renamed Tongren. Mountains are the roots of Tongren, water is the soul of Tongren, and Jinjiang gave birth to Tongren, the city of benevolence and righteousness. This is a city surrounded by mountains and rivers. The Jinjiang River passing through the city has given birth to this beautiful and fertile land, making the city picturesque. A city in the mountains, water in the city, and people in the painting are slowly unfolding along with the Jinjiang River that has flowed for thousands of years. The third (2009) list of top 100 eco-friendly beauties in China, jointly organized by the APEPA China Committee of the Asia Pacific Environmental Protection Association and Cui of the Hong Kong China Urban Research Institute, was recently released in Hong Kong. Shili Jinjiang, Tongren City, Guizhou Province, was selected into the top ten. Tongren is prosperous because of water.
In ancient times, going down to the Dongting of the Jinjiang River and into the Yangtze River was the only way for Tongren to get out of the mountains. Ships came and went, and merchants gathered there. It once prospered and was known as an important town in eastern Guizhou. Since ancient times, the people of Tongren who live by water have always been an important part of their lives. No matter how the times change, water sports such as fishing, swimming, high platform diving, dragon boating, rafting, and bamboo rafting remain the same. It is the biggest hobby and fun of Tongren people. Jinjiang not only gave birth to hard-working and brave Tongren people, but also endowed Tongren with unique water culture, fishing culture and dragon boat culture. The dragon boat race, which symbolizes unity and strength, has therefore become the oldest, richest and most distinctive folk custom in Tongren. The dragon is China's symbol of auspiciousness and the god of rainfall. In ancient times, it was the most revered god by the Dong people of Tongren. The dragon legend is beautiful and vivid here. The legend of dragon boat racing is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and has a long history. Dragon boat racing, commonly known as dragon boat racing in Tongren, although it is related to the memory of Qu Yuan, has given it a new meaning in Tongren. This is the earliest sacrificial activity of the Dong family here to pray to the dragon to avoid disaster. There is a saying in Tongren that before the Dragon Boat Festival is over, the plow is high. This means that if it does not rain during the Dragon Boat Festival, this year will be dry. A year without rain will affect the growth of crops, resulting in no harvest. Therefore, every year when farmers complete a year's spring plowing and planting, they are busy praying to the rain dragon for good weather, good harvest and prosperity. During the Dragon Boat Festival, people from all villages and townships slaughter pigs and ducks and perform sacrificial activities along the Jinjiang River, the mother river. In order to attract the dragon and let the dragon know people's wishes, it will rain according to the season. Every household in the village pools money per person to build dragon boats and buy pigs and ducks as offerings. 20-40 strong young people in the village paddle dragon boats back and forth in the river, roaring in unison, calling the dragon for rain, and throwing down live ducks, dumplings made with delicious bacon, tofu and glutinous rice, as well as pickles and hot and sour dishes. Mugwort stuffed with meat is used to lure the dragon out of the water, thereby inviting the dragon out of the water to come to the human world and accept the villagers' sacrifices and rainwater. The menacing Dong Men rowed dozens or hundreds of dragon boats on the Jinjiang River, chasing each other and the ducks flapping in the river. Cheers and shouts rang out loudly. The boat rowed more powerfully, and the boat rowed faster and faster. Finally, for the first time, it evolved into a dragon boat race in which people worked together, united as one, and fought bravely for the first place. Everyone on the shore cheered for their village's dragon boat. Whichever village's dragon boat race wins, it brings glory to the village. The villagers welcomed the young boatman into the village like a hero. The whole village, men, women, old and young, flocked to the village ancestral hall to hold a celebration banquet and serve sumptuous food to the gods. Every household took out homemade sweet rice wine and drank happily to reward the heroes who had brought glory to the village. Only the hero who comes in first place can eat the pig's head. It is something that you will be honored and proud of throughout your life. Since then, dragon boat rowing has become a spontaneous mass water sport that farmers of all ethnic groups enjoy drinking in Jinjiang. Ten days before the Dragon Boat Festival every year, farmers in and outside the village spontaneously organize to oil the tung oil dragon boats that have been put aside for a year. Please get in the water and start practicing. On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, dragon boats from all over the world will gather at the Tongyan Confluence of Sanjiang in Tongren City, waiting for the competition. On this day, Tongren, China's cities and rural areas were crowded with people, who gathered on both sides of the Jinjiang River to watch the game. Since then, the government has also incorporated this spontaneous mass sports activity into the national fitness cause and developed it. The sons and daughters of Jinjiang have inherited this magnificent original national culture from generation to generation, and it has become more and more intense, from male-dominated dragon boat racing to female-dominated dragon boat racing, from traditional dragon boat racing to international standard dragon boat racing, and then to international dragon boat racing. In January 2009, Tongren was awarded the title of the hometown of traditional Chinese dragon boats. The picturesque scenic spots along the Jinjiang River mainly include Wuling Bridge City, Jinjiang Twelve Scenic Spots, Jinjiang Park, Crystal Pavilion, etc. (1)Wuling Bridge City. Tongren City is a water town and bridge city with more than ten bridges of different styles

(3) Crystal Court Peninsula. The island is located at the foot of Taiyi Peak in the east of the city, on the east bank of Jinjiang River, surrounded by water on three sides, with towering ancient trees on the peninsula and overflowing with fragrance. The river water is clear and green, and the fishing boats are like boats, just like a flowing scenery. (4) Tongyan crosses Aoting. At the intersection of Tongren and Jinjiang rivers, there is a huge stone protruding from the center of the river, more than 10 meters above the water surface, with a total area of ??486 square meters. This isolated island is located in the turbulent flow of two rivers and acts as a backbone, turning the tide. This is Tongyan, which has a deep connection with Tongren.
