Wenling is no stranger to many people. It is a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province, located in the southeast coast of Zhejiang Province. We remember its name more clearly, because it is the first light of Chinese mainland in the new millennium and the new century.
Wenling, facing the sea, is not a city famous for its seaside scenery. Due to its proximity to the sea, local residents mainly work on the sea, and their marine culture is outstanding. Marine fishery culture, sea salt culture, marine food culture and marine fishermen's custom culture are deeply accumulated.
For the scenery of Wenling, many tourists will also focus on the seaside scenery. In fact, when we come to Wenling, we will find that it is not the sunshine, beach and cactus we imagined, but more people who live here have lived on the sea for generations.
Although Wenling has no outstanding seaside style, it also has its own unique scenery, including a mountain, which is very special just by looking at its name. Its name is Fangshan, and many people will think when they hear this name, is it because this mountain is Fangshan, so it is called this name?
For Fangshan in Wenling, it is not unreasonable for many people to be curious about the name of this peak. In fact, it is for this reason, because the top of this mountain is as flat as a rock and shaped like a square box, so it is named Fangshan. But Fangshan, if you look at it from a distance, is not much different from the towering peaks we usually see, but if you reach the top, you will be amazed at how "square" the mountain is.
Fangshan is located at the junction of Wenling and Yueqing, northwest of Wenling. Known as "the famous mountain on the sea, the best in the world", it is one of the eight scenic spots of Yandang Mountain, which is known as "the first mountain in the southeast" in history. The mountain is located at the junction of Wenling and Yueqing, where the mountain is extremely dangerous and mountainous. The surrounding stone walls are all over 100 meters.
Fangshan, surrounded by thousands of walls, had few roads to climb to the top of the mountain a long time ago, but there was a rock slightly close to the ground on the east side of the mountain. It is dangerous and daunting to climb to the top of the mountain only by using artificial bamboo ladders. At present, Fangshan Mountain can be chiseled with wide stone steps on both sides, so tourists can no longer flinch and climb to the top safely.
When you look up at Fangshan at the foot of the mountain, you will feel that there is no difference from the peaks you usually see, but when we really climb to the top of Fangshan, we will all give a heartfelt surprise. This mountain is too square. The top of the mountain is not a towering cliff, but a "sky plain" as wide as the wild, covering an area of more than 400 acres, and even a football field can be built.
Fangshan, the largest volcanic platform in China, is regarded as a typical example of the formation and evolution of revived volcanoes on the edge of Eurasia in the late Mesozoic. So when we reach the top of the mountain, we will find that the top of the mountain here is as wide as a field, especially volcanic movement. There are many lakes and pools on the top of the mountain, which is the most "square" mountain we have ever seen.
Climbing to the top of Fangshan Mountain, which is as wide as a wild field, has a wider vision and picturesque scenery, overlooking Wenzhou and Taizhou. Although there is no shock of "once you climb to the top of the mountain, you will see other mountains dwarfed by the sky", let us marvel at the magical power of nature to create such a "square" mountain.
