Things to do in Tongren

It was raining down the mountain 🌧️, but not up the mountain. However, it was shrouded in mist, making it difficult to see anything. These photos were taken in a few quick bursts. One downside was that you couldn't go directly to the parking lot from the exit to get your car. You had to walk around the shopping street and then walk back into the parking lot to retrieve it. It was already raining, and after walking around for 10 minutes, my shoes and socks were completely soaked.

I think it's worth going. Although there are many stairs, you can mostly walk on flat ground, and it's quite close to nature. I recommend taking a boat out of the Natural Bridge scenic area to avoid backtracking and reduce fatigue. I suggest heading downhill. In summer, you can also go rafting, which is great. A complete loop without backtracking takes about 2 hours. It's a one-way trip, and there are very few shops along the way, so I recommend bringing your own snacks.

Walking along the ravine in the scenic area, you can see incredibly clear emerald water. The valley is bursting with negative oxygen ions, and the temperature is very comfortable. In summer, it's advisable to bring a pair of shoes suitable for stream tracing; soaking your feet in the water would be a wonderful experience. Climbing up from the bottom of the ravine to see the sacred tree of Yamu involves over 700 steps, which is quite challenging, so be sure to conserve your energy. You can visit the Ming Dynasty Ancient Courtyard, and then take a bus back. The entire trip takes about 2 hours.

Arriving at the ancient town just in time for a summer shower, the scenery was extraordinary. While sheltering in the parking lot shed, a cloud of mist drifted in, bringing a sudden downpour. The surrounding scenery appeared and disappeared intermittently, and the vermilion statue in the scenic area glowed with a mysterious yellow light within the mist.

Tongren Ancient City, also known as the Zhongnanmen Historical and Cultural Tourism Area, is located in the heart of Tongren City. Rich in history, surrounded by water on three sides, with its blue-brick and gray-tiled roofs, it exudes a timeless charm. A perfect blend of Ming and Qing dynasty architecture and eastern Guizhou culture, it is well worth a leisurely stroll and careful exploration.

The cave is quite large; you can easily spend 3 hours exploring it at your leisure. It's truly spectacular and well worth a visit. Getting there and back by ride-hailing service is very convenient. The cave maintains a constant temperature of around 16 degrees Celsius, making it a great place to escape the heat on hot days.

A very beautiful place. However, I had an experience that I have to share. I fell down in there. In fact, exactly near the small river (my 1st picture). I was taking photos for my wife, and suddenly I was in the water. I sprained myself. The fruitseller was very helpful to help me back up and found my phone in the water. After I was up, my wife also almost slipped, and another person afterwards also almost slipped. The floor is just too much moist and slippery. I hope the management look into that area. So please be very careful. The place itself is amazing. I walked for almost an hour, and I love it. The simple life of the people, the surrounding mountains, the old buildings and the farms. All look peaceful and relaxing to walk around..I recommend a visit but just be careful when walking.

The attractions in my hometown are worth visiting. The Miao Palace is great. There are performances inside, the air is fresh, and it is convenient to eat. The transportation is convenient and parking is very convenient. It’s just that the publicity is not strong enough. Many foreign tourists probably don’t know about this attraction

Red Cloud Golden Summit is well worth a visit. It's a landmark of Fanjing Mountain, renowned for its unique beauty, unique beauty, and unique scenery, offering visitors a unique experience. Highlights include: A precipitous and breathtaking climbing experience: Red Cloud Golden Summit stands at 2,336 meters above sea level, with a vertical drop of 94 meters from the base to the summit. The climb requires climbing stone steps carved into the cliff face, using iron chains and using both hands and feet to navigate. The steepest part is nearly 90 degrees vertical, and the path is narrow, barely wide enough for one person. It's a truly challenging experience, allowing visitors to experience the feeling of "infinite scenery on the dangerous peak." Unique geological landscape: A magnificent work of nature, it's often surrounded by red clouds and auspicious auras in the mornings, hence its name. The Golden Summit is divided in half by the "Golden Knife Gorge," forming two isolated peaks connected by a sky bridge. From a distance, they resemble towering stone pillars, or even steamers, with their unique shapes, a marvel at the wonders of nature. Rich Cultural Heritage: On either side of the summit stand the Sakyamuni Hall and the Maitreya Hall, dedicated to Sakyamuni and Maitreya Buddhas, respectively. Behind each temple stands a "Preaching Platform" and a "Scripture Drying Platform." The seamless integration of religious architecture and natural landscape allows visitors to experience the rich Buddhist cultural atmosphere while enjoying the beautiful scenery. Exceptional Views: Climbing the summit offers a 360-degree panoramic view of the mountains, with rolling clouds and rolling peaks. The breathtaking scenery is as if you were transported to the heavens, refreshing your mind and providing a truly breathtaking visual experience.

Super beautiful and comfortable with great service and facilities. The staff were also very friendly and helpful!
