"Hometown of Chinese Plank Roads"

Hanzhong Shimen Ancient Plank Road and Shimen Reservoir are located in Baogukou in the middle reaches of Bao River. It is known as the "Hometown of Chinese Plank Roads" and the "Water Conservancy Pearl of the Northwest", and it is also the hometown of Baoji in the historical legend of "King You of Zhou played with the princes with beacon fires, and the Zhou dynasty perished with a thousand gold smiles". The ancients said: "The road to Shu is difficult, and it is harder to go up to the blue sky". Since the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, in order to cross the Qinling Mountains to Shu, the ancients drilled holes in the cliffs along the Bao River valley, used horizontal wood as beams, vertical wood as pillars, laid wooden boards on top, and installed railings to form plank roads. The carriages and horses walk in the air, which is extremely dangerous and spectacular. It starts from Baogukou in Hanzhong in the south and reaches Xieyuguan in Meixian in the north, so it is called "Baoxie Plank Road". The famous historical battle "Repair the plank road in the open, and cross the warehouse secretly" happened here. Nature never lacks creativity, it combines strangeness, danger, and beauty in one place, creating amazing mountain rocks. The perfectly placed Tiger Roaring Pavilion is like a divine brush. Autumn is intoxicatingly beautiful and short-lived, escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life, and head to the wilderness of nature. Let's go, go to Shimen Plank Road to "find autumn"~
