Wenling Fangshan

Colleagues from the unit met on the weekend to climb the Fangshan Mountain in Wenling, said the scenery is good, worth a trip, they are happy to go.

It is reported that the Fangshan scenic area is located in Wenling City, Zhejiang Province, Daxi Town, the territory of the North Yandang Mountains, the remaining veins, a set of dangerous cliffs, peaks and valleys, waterfalls and streams, the rural landscape in one, known as a scenic landscape painting. Fangshan because the mountain is majestic and square, surrounded by walls such as the city and named, the scenic area of 3.6 square kilometers, the highest elevation of 461 meters above sea level, the mountain around the 5 kilometers of the wall more than a hundred meters above the top of the flat and open, an area of more than 700 acres, as if the sky outside of the Qiongtai, the air gardens.

From Jiaojiang driving to Fangshan, about more than an hour's drive, due to the epidemic has just improved, the scenic area, although it has been opened to the public, but not a lot of tourists, into the scenic area also need to provide health green code.

Just into the scenic area, encountered a long about two hundred meters long stone steps, slope is very steep, look at people have a sense of mountaineering pressure, in fact, this is the entire scenic area of the steepest section of the road, after this section, behind the terrain tends to be flat, such as walking on the ground. On to the gentle place, met a fork in the road, to the right is the Fangshan Academy, mountaineering is to the left, the concave part is the Hu Gong Temple.

? We came here only for climbing, so directly to the right in a clockwise direction, slowly up around the mountain. Turned the first corner, into the eyes of an ancient temple, close to the cliffs and built, look up, the wall can be seen on top of the "Zhenshan" two big red words, the first time to see this mountain majestic. At the time of the spring flowers, grass and trees, the branches have just sprouted many new shoots, but unfortunately no sunlight, less transparent. After the ancient temple, and then around a corner, in front of the sudden appearance of a yellow wall, on the book of a "Buddha" character, a look at it is known to be a temple, get close to see, the original is the temple of Guanyin, the "Buddha" is actually the wall "Namo Amitabha Buddha The word "Buddha" is actually the last word on the wall "Namo Amitabha Buddha", only the other words are blocked by tree branches.

In front of the Hall of Goddess of Mercy continue to go up, and a section of steps, traveling to the halfway point of the mountainside, on the side of the cliffs, a stalagmite stood in front of the wall, the left and right are crags, through the crags far away, far away from the mountains, the valley of the new town a piece. Up around through a stone bridge, into the immortal heavenly gate, continue to climb up a section, will come to a platform, see a larger temple - clouds temple, temple before the wall above a seven-storey pagoda, called "Duo Bao Buddha Pagoda", the tower door a couplet A couplet at the door of the tower, "RuiYiYingKong YongPuFaTu seven levels, CiYunWangYe often dip law rain three thousand", so that people imitation into the world of buddhism. Tourists can climb the tower far view, Fangshan around the scenery as far as the eye can see, just the weather is cloudy, the distant mountains covered with a layer of thin clouds, hidden. Peach blossoms bloom under the tower, just as the old poem "April on earth, peach blossoms began to bloom in the mountain temples", peach blossoms, although there are only a few plants, but it is also very scenic.

My colleague said that ten years ago he came here, there is a big platform on the top of Fangshan Mountain, there is also a Tianchi on top, the lodge hotel and so on, so I hurriedly led me to explore this memory of Tianchi. Turned the corner of the Yunxiao Temple, along the mountain road is a circular walking stone path to the top of the mountain. We walked counterclockwise for a short period of time to a small lake, the lake blue, clear to the bottom, there are two pavilions along the lake looking at each other, this may be the legendary Tianchi it. Colleagues are very curious previously located here in the lodge hotel but disappeared without a trace, the site has been newly paved with turf. Later, I learned that this hotel is illegal construction, was demolished by law enforcement agencies.

Bypassing the Tianchi, along the cliff edge of the sightseeing trail continues to walk, the roadside there are patches of rhododendron, see will be open. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it, and I'm sure I'll be able to do it. Around a bend, in front of the eyes of a high dam, I think it should belong to the reservoir and so on, then climbed down the steps to the dam, and indeed confirmed my judgment, and was built in 2014, this is the second lake on the top of the square mountain, also known as the upper Tianchi. Although it is still the dry season, the lake is not deep, but blue and clear, to see the opposite stone wall on the "ShenYou" two big words, can not help but let a person's mind fly.

Standing at the top of the mountain flat, I suddenly remembered the Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa, the two terrain features are a bit similar, are above the cliffs, there is a flat, but the table on the mountain there is no pool of water, only wildflowers and shrubs, heaps of strange stones. However, the top of Fangshan Mountain is no less impressive, in addition to rhododendrons, there are also many unknown small flowers. In addition, Table Mountain is independent of the sea, and sometimes the clouds cover the top of the mountain, as if the top of the mountain covered with a layer of tablecloth; and Fangshan is in the middle of the mountains, the mountain from time to time there is a sea of clouds rising, as if the boat traveling on the sea.

? From this far south, vaguely visible Wenzhou Yueqing Bay, southwest and Yandang Mountain. The mountain is a huge square stalagmite with a road connecting it to the ridge, which is like the beacon tower of the Great Wall of China.

The weather is a bit unattractive, began to tick with small drops of rain, would like to take refuge in the roadside pavilion, but see this rain and seemingly nothing, it simply continue to ring the wall of the view, who knows that this rain is more and more big, but fortunately into the scenic area after we foresee that it may rain in advance in the stalls to buy disposable ponchos, or else you can only wait for the rain to stop here.

Turning to the back of the square mountain, still cliffs, wall and temple, it seems that the incense here is still very strong. This time suddenly saw a roadside attraction sign, said this attraction for the "herd of elephants into the mountain". According to the above tips, along the mountain to see the prominent rock, really like an elephant's trunk.

The top of Fangshan Mountain is actually a crater, the natural formation of two lakes, and the lake is clear and green, there are trestles around, not only to see the summit lake, but also a distant view of the mountains, surrounded by even more strange mountains. The top of the mountain is said to be flat, in fact, is also high in the east and low in the west, only the terrain is more gentle. At this point we have come to the highest southeast corner, there is an exit, leading to the neighboring Yandang Mountain, one of the eight scenic Yangjiao Cave scenic spot.

Considering that the rain was still pouring down, with no sign of stopping, we decided that it was best to continue along the summit trail back to the Yunxiao Temple, and then follow the same path back down the mountain.

Mount Fang before and after less than two hours, a hasty tour, less than a detailed view, coupled with poor weather, leaving a lot of regrets, and then choose the right time to revisit Mount Fang, to comfort life.
