國(guó)家地理《旅行者》雜志發(fā)布了“2019 年最佳旅游”排行榜，全球28個(gè)地方入選。位于中國(guó)西南部貴州省的梵凈山是中國(guó)唯一入選此排行榜的旅游目的地。你可能會(huì)想為什么會(huì)是梵凈山，為什么不是黃山、華山等我們更熟悉的名山。

梵凈山位于貴州省銅仁市，是中國(guó)西南武陵山脈的最高山峰，海拔2570米。“梵凈”是梵天凈土的縮寫，中文意思是“梵天凈土”。梵凈山早在明代（1368-1644）就成為佛教圣地。它曾很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間與峨眉山、五臺(tái)山、普陀山、九華山并肩。它擁有眾多寺廟，是中國(guó)的五大佛教圣地之一。

梵凈山綿延402. 75平方公里，緩沖區(qū)372.39平方公里。梵凈山生態(tài)系統(tǒng)保存了大量的古植物、珍稀瀕危生物和獨(dú)特的物種。它被認(rèn)為是世界上保存最完好的原始森林，有4394種植物和2767種動(dòng)物，被稱為中國(guó)的“基因數(shù)據(jù)庫(kù)”。作為亞洲最重要的山毛櫸森林保護(hù)區(qū)和世界上裸子植物最為豐富的地區(qū)，這座山是貴州珍稀鼻猴和梵凈山冷杉的唯一棲息地。它還擁有最珍貴的野生動(dòng)植物，包括金絲猴和“中國(guó)的鴿子樹(shù)”珙桐。

除了其亞熱帶生態(tài)和稀有植物和野生動(dòng)物，梵凈山還以其雄偉的自然景觀聞名。幾億年前，由于地球的力量，梵凈山從海底緩緩升起。10 到14億年前形成的陡峭懸崖、深谷和瀑布等令人驚嘆的景觀，在這里得到了完美的保存。游客可以飽覽云霧繚繞的山脈、美麗的植被、陡峭的懸崖、回聲激蕩的洞穴和古老的橋梁。那些足夠幸運(yùn)的人將看到“佛光”這種將人影投射到云霧上而形成的神秘奇觀。

爬過(guò)超過(guò)8000級(jí)的臺(tái)階，徒步旅行者可以看到中國(guó)武陵山脈的云端景色和奇形怪狀的巖層。如果你渴望在云端漫步，梵凈山絕對(duì)是你的必游之地！另外，山頂上那座80多米高的金峰提供了一個(gè)奇妙的景觀：一根陡峭的石柱支撐著一塊巨大的方形巖石，被稱為“萬(wàn)書(shū)堆” 。

當(dāng)你游覽完下山后，別忘了在山腳下體驗(yàn)土家族、苗族、侗族和羌族的文化。

2018年7月2日，梵凈山被正式列入《世界遺產(chǎn)名錄》，成為中國(guó)第53個(gè)聯(lián)合國(guó)教科文組織世界遺產(chǎn)地。
