國家地理《旅行者》雜志發(fā)布了“2019 年最佳旅游”排行榜，全球28個地方入選。位于中國西南部貴州省的梵凈山是中國唯一入選此排行榜的旅游目的地。你可能會想為什么會是梵凈山，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，是中國西南武陵山脈的最高山峰，海拔2570米?！拌髢簟笔氰筇靸敉恋目s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。它曾很長時間與峨眉山、五臺山、普陀山、九華山并肩。它擁有眾多寺廟，是中國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、珍稀瀕危生物和獨特的物種。它被認為是世界上保存最完好的原始森林，有4394種植物和2767種動物，被稱為中國的“基因數(shù)據(jù)庫”。作為亞洲最重要的山毛櫸森林保護區(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植物，包括金絲猴和“中國的鴿子樹”珙桐。

除了其亞熱帶生態(tài)和稀有植物和野生動物，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。

爬過超過8000級的臺階，徒步旅行者可以看到中國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“萬書堆” 。

當你游覽完下山后，別忘了在山腳下體驗土家族、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》，成為中國第53個聯(lián)合國教科文組織世界遺產(chǎn)地。
