There are several stories surrounding the origin of Sajin Valley's name. One interesting legend revolves around the Sajin Bridge, located upstream of the Zhulang River where three rivers converge. At night, the bridge is often shrouded in mist, resembling a light drizzle shimmering with golden light, hence the name "Sajin" (Sprinkled Gold). Another explanation points to the sunlight glinting off the river's surface, creating a sparkling effect that resembles scattered gold. Yet another story tells of a stone peak resembling the God of Wealth, Shen Wansan, holding a "treasure bowl" and scattering riches into the water, thus giving the valley its name. The entire scenic area resembles a natural landscape painting, offering a captivating experience for both hikers and sightseers. To fully appreciate the valley's charm, it's recommended to set aside a full day for your visit. And don't miss out on Fuquan City's delicious cuisine.

Travel to Guizhou and follow in the footsteps of Wang Yangming to experience the beauty of Guizhou. This time, we came to Fuquan to visit Pingyue Post Station and Qipan Ancient Post Road to understand the "Pingyue Siyi" of the Twelve Realms of Yangming's Inquiry. Fuquan is an important stop for Yangming to preach and understand the Tao. He once passed through here and stayed at Pingyue Post Station for 10 days. ✅ Pingyue Post Station: Built in the fifth year of the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, it is one of the 16 famous post stations in Guizhou and a must-pass road for Wang Yangming to enter Guizhou. Wang Yangming stayed here for a short time and left a deep impression. ✅ Qipan Ancient Post Road: When Wang Yangming passed by, he was attracted by the natural landscape of the majestic mountains and the winding dangerous roads. He was inspired to write a poem called "Qipan" to express his admiration for the "strange and unique" landforms of Guizhou. ✅ Gejing Bridge: An ancient bridge that is nearly 400 years old and well-preserved. Gejing Bridge not only showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of ancient bridge construction but also contains rich historical and cultural value. It is an indispensable part of Wang Yangming's cultural journey. ✅ Xiaoximen Ancient City: The ancient city area of Fuquan consists of the inner city, water city, and outer city. It has rich historical and cultural heritage and unique ancient city features. Wang Yangming also visited this place when he visited Fuquan. During his time in Fuquan, Wang Yangming experienced a transformation from confusion to enlightenment, which had a profound impact on his thoughts. His insights and creations in Fuquan became an indispensable part of the formation of his mind studies.

It was my first time traveling to Fuquan, Guizhou, and I was surprised by how much I got out of the trip. I visited Fuquan Mountain, where Zhang Sanfeng once practiced Taoism, checked in at Taiji Palace, known as the "Little Forbidden City of the South," strolled through the beautiful ancient city of Fuquan, walked across Gejing Bridge, which was built by Gejing, who spent all his money on it, stayed at Pingle Post Station, where Wang Yangming stayed for 8 days, and ate delicious Fuquan farmhouse dishes... It was a great experience. Especially Gejing Bridge, which was the biggest highlight of the trip. According to the stone tablet at the bridgehead, Gejing was a Ming Dynasty man who spent all his money and 30 years building the bridge to connect the north and south banks, allowing people on both sides of the cliff to travel freely. The key point is that this ancient bridge is still in use today, which shows how good the quality of the bridge is. No wonder the famous expert Mao Yisheng said, "There is Zhaozhou Bridge in the north and Gejing Bridge in the south." Fuquan has a wealth of tourism resources, and the ancient city ruins in the city are also a highlight of the trip. In addition to the steep city walls, there are four city gates in the east, south, west, and north, all of which are 600 years old. The most impressive is Fuquan Water City, which is close to the river. It is a "National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit" and consists of the inner city, water city, outer city, and three city walls. It is a defensive walled city with military and livelihood value. The Sha River flows past the city gate and slowly seeps into the inner city well through the stone crevices. This not only solves the daily drinking water needs of people and animals in the city, but also ensures that the city will not be abandoned due to lack of water when besieged by enemies. It also filters out any poison that enemies may throw into the water source, fully reflecting the wisdom of the ancient people of Fuquan. Tip: Fuquan is easily accessible, with trains from Guiyang every day. After arriving at Fuquan Station, there is a direct shuttle bus to the scenic spots.

Fuquan Taiji Palace is located in Jinshan Office, Fuquan City, Guizhou Province, east of Pig Farm Street and west of Yueshan Temple. It faces south and north, with a central line running through the mountain gate, the worship hall, and the main hall. The scenic area covers an area of 20,000 square meters and costs 200 million yuan. All the wood used is imported high-quality anti-corrosion wood from Indonesia. The cultural center now has 2 worship halls, 4 Taoist temples, 4 imperial stele pavilions, 10 side rooms, and a bell tower, drum tower, main hall, parents' hall, and Sanqing Pavilion.

Fuquan Mountain is located in Fuquan City, Qiannan. Because there is a spring named "Fu" on the mountain, the mountain is named Fuquan Mountain, and the city is named Fuquan City because of the name of the mountain. It is said that Zhang Sanfeng and Shen Wansan both practiced Taoism here. The pavilions, winding corridors, secluded houses, yellow tiles and red walls here are just a snap and you will find that it is a large scenic spot away from the crowds. Every time I come here, I will take a bottle of sweet and clear spring water away. It is said that drinking the spring water here will bring good luck. On the back mountain there are scenic spots such as the Tai Chi diagram, Tianchi, Dragon and Tiger Pool, Turtle and Snake Locking the River, each of which is lifelike in shape. The ancient city wall, which was built in the 14th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1381), is definitely worth a visit.
