The Golden Ox Trail's horse-blocking walls have traversed a thousand years of time!

Ancient cypresses that have stood for a millennium, massive boulders underfoot, and the faint sound of horse hooves by your ear, step onto the ancient Shu path from before the Qin dynasty, and enter a tunnel through time that spans history. ➡ Golden Ox Trail's horse-blocking walls: The Golden Ox Trail was akin to the ancient Sichuan-Shaanxi expressway, except instead of cars, it was horses that traveled on it. The horse-blocking walls served as guardrails on the curves of the expressway, warning the horses to slow down to prevent them from falling off the cliffs. ▶ Located in Jiange County, Guangyuan, direct navigation to the Golden Ox Trail's horse-blocking walls is possible, a 3.5-hour drive from Chengdu, free of charge ▶ Hiking suggestion: Start from the parking lot (10 yuan per car parking fee), a light hike of 2.2 kilometers to Qingliang Village, the endpoint is Qingliang Bridge, a round trip of 4.5 kilometers. The path is mostly flat and easy. If you have plenty of time and good physical strength, you can also walk to Puan Town. ➡ Cuiyun Corridor: Located in Jiange County, Guangyuan, the entrance ticket🎫 is ¥40 per person, just like the horse-blocking walls, it is also a part of the ancient Shu path Golden Ox Trail. The cypress trees are even older and taller, said to have been planted by Zhang Fei and his subordinates during the Three Kingdoms period, but the artistic conception and historical sense are not as strong as the horse-blocking walls. Jiange local food: Free-range chicken and tofu are specialties here.
