Xinjinding is 2336 meters above sea level, with a vertical height difference of 1 meters, which is the most dangerous of the three Jinding. In the morning, it is often surrounded by red clouds and auspicious atmosphere, so it is also called "Red Clouds and Jinding", which is homophonic and has the meaning of lucky strike.
The upper part is divided into two parts, connected by an overpass, and a temple is built on each side, offering sacrifices to Sakyamuni Buddha and Maitreya Buddha. This confirms the alternation of modern Buddha (Sakyamuni) to future Buddha (Maitreya Buddha).

It has been swaying in the wind, frost, rain and snow for more than 1.9 billion years, and it is an unparalleled classic sculpture of magical realism by the creator.
7. laojinding: the second peak of fanjing mountain
laojinding is 2493 meters above sea level, which is the second peak of fanjing mountain. Because of the moonlight, there are often images of Maitreya Buddha as a sentient being, also known as "Moon Mirror Mountain".

four strange astronomical phenomena
1. Buddha's light
Whenever the sun rises or sets, people can often see colorful and huge auras in the clouds near Jinding, which are opposite to the direction of the sun. According to the statistics of authoritative departments, Fanjing Mountain is the place with the highest frequency of Buddha's light among all the famous mountains in China. According to legend, those who can see the "Buddha's Light" are all people with great merit and Buddha's fate.
tips:
The best time to see the Phantom of Buddha's Light is before 9 am or after 4 pm in Chu Qing after rain.
2. Phantom
The moment when the phantom appears is usually within a few minutes or even dozens of seconds before or after the Buddha's light is produced. On the cloud opposite to the sun, you can see a huge halo composed of seven colors of brilliance, which reflects your figure. People dance and dance, and people stop and wander, which is extremely strange and gorgeous. At this time, if you stand with your back to the sun, you will see the mirage of "the halo moves with people and the figure is in the ring" and "facing the west and seeing the east at dusk".
3. The sea of clouds
"In a blink of an eye, where clouds meet, you walk out of thin air and become a fairy", which is to describe the sea of clouds in Fanjing Mountain. Whenever the weather is sunny and the white clouds are boundless, the clouds are dense like new flocs piled up, and sparse like thin washed veils.
4. Clouds Waterfall
Clouds are a must of Fanjing Mountain. The clouds on Fanjing Mountain are unpredictable. Just now, the sky was clear in Wan Li, and in the blink of an eye, it became a sea of clouds. With the wind direction, it pours into the deep valley from high altitude like a waterfall. I saw the clouds surging like Hongbo, the mountains and islands towering, and the situation was barren and swallowed thousands of miles, which was spectacular.
tips:
The best place to watch the sea of clouds and waves is Jinding.
5. Zen Fog
Fanshan is foggy, known as Zen Fog in the world, and it is out of print in the world. No matter the season when the fog rises, no matter whether it is dark or bright, it comes without direction, it goes without time, everything is unintentional and everything is natural. Strange, all in a flash. Humanities
Buddhism in Fanjing Mountain was founded in the Tang Dynasty and flourished in the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Wanli's _ Inscribed Monument praised Fanjing Foshan as the "Sect of Yue, which is well-known in the world".
Fanjing Mountain has been turned into an "ancient Buddha Maitreya Dojo" by Buddhists since ancient times. Centered on the rising of the sun, the moon and the sky at the golden dome of Hongyun, the four great temples in huang temple are covered with stars.
Hongyun Jinding is the core of Foshan. The creation of two temples on the Mount Juefeng, two Buddhists on the verge of death, boundless dharma realm, and paradise palace is the crowning touch of the White Lotus Society in the Southern Song Dynasty in the construction of "pure land on earth", a miracle in the development history of famous mountain Buddhism, and a wonderful flower blooming above the red cloud.
In addition, there are many temples in Fanjing Mountain. There are hundreds of large and small temples in Fanjing Mountain, among which four imperial temples and forty-eight temples are the most famous.
Huguo Temple is located at the northwest foot of Fanjing Mountain, formerly known as Tianchiyuan. It was founded in the Jianyan period of the Song Dynasty (1127-113) and was renamed Huguo Temple in the early Qing Dynasty. The temple covers an area of more than 4 mu, belonging to the most spectacular ancient temple in Fanjing Mountain and one of the four famous imperial temples sealed in Wanli period of Ming Dynasty. The whole temple group is made of wood structure, with exquisite architecture and carved beams, which has a typical southern national architectural style. The Buddha statues in the temple are majestic, with fine sculptures, realistic shapes and rich colors.
Cheng 'en Temple, located between the old and new Jinding, is the main building of the temples in Fanjing Mountain and one of the four imperial temples in Fanjing Mountain. Cheng 'en Temple was built in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, and was later destroyed by the war, leaving only the ruins. In 1988, the monk Shi Tong Ling was rebuilt by fundraising. According to the restoration of ancient sites in different places, it merged with the original Zhenguo Temple (now Tianwang Temple) to form the present Chengen Temple.
There are also some caves in Fanjing Mountain, such as Jiuhuang Cave, which is about 1km north of Jinding. It is a natural cave with an area of more than 1 square meters. It is said that the entrance of Jiuhuang Niang's practice place is made of stone, and there are Huangniang's dressing well and grinding stone in the cave. Tour guide
1. Route recommendation
According to different mountain climbing locations, there are usually two options for visiting Fanshan: the southern route and the western route.
1. As soon as the southern line descends from the mouth of the river, the slope is high and the road is steep. It takes 3-4 hours to climb 8 steps, and it takes about 2 hours to descend the mountain.
2. On the West Line I, the Yinjiang River goes up the mountain through Zhangjiaba Huguo Temple, and the mountain is gentle. After the tour, it goes down to Jiangkou along 8 stone steps. In this way, you can take the whole journey to the main scenic spots without taking the repeated road, which is more time-saving and labor-saving. But Tongren is much farther from Yinjiang than Jiangkou, and the road is not easy. Follow the route of Mianxuling-Hongyun Jinding-Mushroom Stone.
