Fengcheng Fenghuang Mountain Travel Guide

1. Fenghuang Mountain in Fengcheng, Liaoning Province is one of the four famous mountains in Fengtian, known as "the first mountain in the Great Wall of Wan Li". It is a famous summer resort in Liaodong with quiet and cool summer and pleasant environment. The tranquil spring cave is also a feature of Fenghuang Mountain. Fenghuang Cave is a cave halfway up the mountain. You can choose to go up the mountain through the cave, or choose the ladder on the right or the valley on the left.

2. On the boulder at the entrance of Fenghuang Cave, there is the inscription by the eastern Taoist of Qing Xuantong, Tan Guohuan: "The cave of Buddha, my land, only Buddha and me, will last forever", which is extraordinary in charm. Next to it is the famous clear spring of Fenghuang Mountain, named "Shengyuan"; However, according to local evaluation, it seems that "the first spring in Northeast China" is more popular. The light in the cave is dim, and it is almost impossible to see the road in many cases. In some places, it passes through the cracks in the boulder. The cave is dark and damp, and there is spring water flowing through it. Be extra careful when walking.

3. There is water flowing on the steps inside the Phoenix Cave, and the road is narrow and steep, and the exit is near the volley plank road, so many people climb for a while and then come out to take other routes. There are two exits. The exit halfway up the mountain leads to the volley plank road. If you pass, you need to go down the mountain road when you exit from the top. It's not far, otherwise you will miss the volley plank road and the calf back! This layer of rock is different from other colors, which may be due to some changes during the formation of surface rock layers.

4. Generally speaking, when you meet the Phoenix Cave, you can choose to go from the Phoenix Cave, which is cool and the route will be shortened, just in case you play in summer, you can avoid the summer and cool down in the summer. It's really super dark inside, and some gods are enshrined in the entrance. There are several particularly dangerous places around the corner. If someone goes in, they will follow, and there are few lights in it. If there are only two or three people, it's really a little scary inside!

5, this hole is really as narrow and steep as the legend, and there is still a lot of water in it. The narrower you get to the back, the darker it is, and you can't see the exit. If you have a closed phobia, don't enter it. It's quite uncomfortable.

6. The cave is damp and dark, and people feel suffocated when they stumble forward next to each other. The murals on both sides are exquisite and beautiful. It is recommended to prepare a small flashlight in advance. If you use a mobile phone for lighting, it is inconvenient and it will consume too much electricity when you climb out. It is not recommended to climb the mountain directly from the cave, and you will come out when you get to Guanyin Pavilion halfway up the mountain. If there is a fork, you must go right along the volley plank road, otherwise you will miss too many beautiful scenery.

7. Actually, the first scenic spot to enter Xishan is Phoenix Cave. It is a shortcut to wear Phoenix Cave. It looks nothing special, but it is dark and narrow inside, and there are some strange murals. Many places feel that they can't pass quickly, but when they walk in, they actually find that there is still a way. Drill a hole all the way and you can reach the first observation deck.

8. Phoenix Cave is the first cave with its beautiful and peculiar natural structure. With a total length of 200 meters, as long as you are immersed in the cave, you will feel the cool breeze blowing gently even in Sheng Xia Zhishi, and you will hear the sound of waterfalls in rainy season. Because he is not located in the upper part of the mountain, there are still many tourists here, and the road is very narrow, which will inevitably lead to queues. However, if you visit these scenic spots more, or visit them more, you will be able to better feel the thrill of Phoenix Mountain. Never feel that this road is difficult, and the road behind it will be even more difficult, and never feel that you have given up, because only by climbing to the top of the mountain can you appreciate the beauty of Phoenix Mountain.

9. Climbing from Phoenix Cave is the fastest shortcut to the top of the mountain. Starting from the intersection of Xishan Scenic Area and the steps of Jiefang Memorial Tower, we go up the mountain and pass by Fenghuang Cave. There is a fork, one difficult and the other easy, with the same destination. Many people choose the difficult hole to climb up. The hole is very narrow, but fortunately, it is not dangerous to pull the copper handle and chain tightly. The only zenith that enters the Phoenix Cave will be more perfect if there are few leaves on it.

Located in Dandong City, Liaoning Province, Phoenix Mountain is famous for its magnificent mountain scenery and challenging hiking routes. There is not only profound historical and cultural heritage here, but also unique natural landscape, which is an excellent destination for your day trip. Next, I recommend a one-day tour of Phoenix Mountain.

1. Transportation: After evaluating three schemes before departure, I finally decided to drive by car.

① Bus tour: the price is cheap, the ticket+fare is 115 yuan/person, but the departure is too early and the time is not free.

② bullet train: the bullet train from Shenyang to Fengcheng East costs 56.5 yuan/person/one-way, which takes 70 minutes; It takes 15-20 minutes to take a taxi from Fengcheng East to the scenic spot around 22 yuan. Counting the drive from home to Shenyang Station, the total round-trip cost for them is about 320 yuan, and the one-way trip takes more than 2 hours. There are more trains, but they are also limited by time.

③ Self-driving: 200 kilometers from home to the scenic spot, 3 hours (including the rest in the service area), the toll is about 76 yuan/one-way, and the fuel fee is 150 yuan/one-way. The total cost is the most expensive, round trip to 450 yuan. But the most free and comfortable way. (More people are more appropriate! )

2. Tickets: The price of the scenic spot is 80 yuan/person, which can be booked online in advance. I compared the platforms and found that Bao is the cheapest, 58.6 yuan/person.

3. Accommodation: Tourists are advised to choose accommodation in downtown Dandong, where there are many hotels and homestays for tourists to choose from. If you want to spend the night on the mountain, you can choose a mountain villa or resort on the mountain, but the price is relatively high.

4. One-day tour route of Fenghuang Mountain in Dandong

After breakfast, start from Dandong city and take a bus or taxi to Fenghuang Mountain Scenic Area. It takes about 30 minutes by car;

After arriving at Fenghuang Mountain Scenic Area, first visit the ancient temples of Ming and Qing Dynasties. There are Guanyin Pavilion built in the Ming Dynasty, Wenchang Pavilion and Guandi Temple in the Qing Dynasty, and feel the charm of ancient architecture.

After visiting the ancient temple, follow the mountain road to Phoenix Lake. Phoenix Lake is a major feature of Phoenix Mountain. The lake is clear and surrounded by green mountains and trees. It is a favorite place for tourists to take pictures as a souvenir.

Then, visitors can board the observation deck and overlook the beautiful scenery of the whole Phoenix Mountain. Here, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of downtown Dandong and overlook the scenery of North Korea across the Yalu River.

Then, tourists can explore the Fairy Cave. Xianren Cave is a natural limestone cave with many peculiar underground landscapes such as stalactites and stalagmites, which are of great ornamental value.

Finally, tourists can taste local special snacks, such as glutinous rice paste and tofu brain, on the mountain to end their pleasant day trip.

5, the best choice in the route

In this one-day tour route, the best choice is to visit the ancient temples from the entrance of the scenic spot, and then go to Phoenix Lake, observation deck, Xianren Cave and other scenic spots. This route can not only let you appreciate the natural scenery of Phoenix Mountain, but also let you feel the charm of ancient architecture. In addition, tourists can also taste local special snacks on the mountain, which will bring a full stop to the day trip.

Personal experience: the most surprising thing is the autumn leaves, which do not lose the hierarchical color of Benxi at all. Secondly, the diversity of mountain roads increases the fun of climbing, including repaired roads, plank roads and stone steps, as well as original mountain roads and many flat stones. I use my hands and feet, and my whole body aches. A one-day tour of Fenghuang Mountain in Dandong is an unforgettable travel experience. Visitors can enjoy the beautiful natural scenery, feel the charm of ancient architecture and taste authentic snacks.
