Climbed to the top of Fanjing Mountain and took the most nauseating scenic shuttle bus

Fanjing Mountain is located in Tongren City, Guizhou Province. It is the main peak of the Wuling Mountain range, with the highest peak, Phoenix Mountain, reaching an elevation of 2,572 meters. The climate on the mountain is changeable and fog often forms easily. 🚘Transportation: Arrive at Tongren Station in Guizhou by high-speed train one day in advance. After exiting the station, you can take a taxi or a bus to the scenic area. The bus fare is 35 yuan, and it takes about 1 hour to reach the East Gate of the scenic area. It is recommended to go up and down from the East Gate, which is relatively easy and suitable for most people🉑 There are two tour routes: East Gate up and down: The East Gate offers a cable car and hiking (hiking to Pudu Square takes about 3 hours, relatively steep with average scenery; the cable car takes 15 minutes) West Gate down: The West Gate only has hiking, with better scenery along the way. The hike is friendly, mostly along the ridge, to Pudu Square, about 3 hours) 🌈Ticket + sightseeing bus + round-trip cable car: 288 yuan/person (discounts available for some groups). Suggested schedule (for reference): ⏰10:00 Arrive at the East Gate of the scenic area ⏰10:30 Sightseeing bus 20 min (the entire route is a winding mountain road, very nauseating, be mentally prepared) ⏰11:00 Arrive at the cable car upper station (15 min cable car ride to mid-mountain; hiking takes 3 hours) ⏰11:30–12:10 Cable car upper station ➡️ Mushroom Rock (about 40 min) [about 15 min to Pudu Square] ⏰13:10–14:40 Round trip to Hongyun Golden Summit about 1 hour (after getting off the cable car, you can scan a QR code on site to make a reservation; waiting time after reservation varies from 30 min to 1 hour) ⏰15:00 Pudu Square ➡️ Cable car upper station about 10 min ⏰15:15 Board the sightseeing bus ⏰15:35 Arrive at Fanjing Mountain East Gate 1️⃣ After visiting Mushroom Rock, there will be two forked paths: to the left is the "Hongyun Golden Summit," and to the right is the "Old Golden Summit." Both summits are very steep, with a vertical height difference of nearly 100 meters. The stone steps are very narrow, allowing only one person at a time. To reach the top, you need to hold onto iron chains and use both hands and feet to climb bit by bit. Going up and down is very strenuous. Personally, I think visiting one summit is enough; those with good stamina can visit both. 2️⃣ If you only climb the Hongyun Golden Summit, you can make a reservation for it halfway on the cable car (reservation is not possible before reaching the spot). If hiking, you can make a reservation at the summit; during the queue, you can climb the Old Golden Summit. If you reach Mushroom Rock first, it is recommended to make the reservation there, climb the Old Golden Summit first, then go to the Hongyun Golden Summit. 3️⃣ There is no food available at the summit, so bring snacks, a power bank, and motion sickness medicine.
