#tripaway #tripaway Unstoppable and unforgettable 10 minutes life time experience and fun-filled moments. After about four months of ESL teaching in Jiange before I realized that such a beautiful and monumental place exist. Jianmen Pass is a mountain pass located southwest of the city of Guangyuan in Sichuan province. It's located in Jiange County which is a few distance from my apartment. It's famous for the beauty of its steep slopes and it's strategic importance in ancient times. As the traditional Chinese saying goes, "If one man guards the pass, ten thousand are unable to get through". I had real fun with couple of friends at different outings. #tripaway#gatewayofdefence#awesomeexperience#jiange #tripaway

Jianmen Pass | The Perilous Ancient Shu Path Worth Experiencing in Life

🤦‍♀️So dangerous, so dangerous... 🤷Finally, I understand the difficulty of the Shu path, as hard as ascending to the heavens. Not to mention in ancient times... Every step is a leap across the boundaries of history, and this place is worth experiencing the peril of the ancient Shu path once. 🏯Jianmen Pass, as an important pass on the ancient Shu path, combines the natural beauty of being grand, dangerous, strange, and elegant. Li Bai lamented its 'One man guards the pass, ten thousand are unable to open'... The terrain is steep, the mountains are clear, the waters are beautiful, and the scenery is pleasant, especially the cliffs and the dangerous valleys, which are breathtaking...👍. 🚗Transportation: Self-drive navigation to Jianmen Pass from Chengdu. (About 4 hours), plenty of parking spaces available. 🎫Ticket: 100 for adults, half price for children, cable car 50. 🧚🏻‍♂️Route selection: We chose the north-to-south route🍃: North Gate - Cableway - Bird Path - Fairy Bridge - Liangshan Temple - Liangshan Pavilion - Stone Bamboo Peak - One Line Sky🐒. (Relatively easier) 🌟Warm tips: 1️⃣Recite 'The Difficulty of Shu Road', and you can get free admission. 2️⃣For the north route, the cable car can take you to mid-mountain for 50r per person. If you don't take the cable car, it's nearly a 2-hour climb. 3️⃣Bird Path and Macaque Path are narrow and steep, with unclimbable heights above and bottomless abysses below. Visitors must slowly move up by holding onto the iron chains with both hands. It is not recommended for friends with poor physical strength or fear of heights. 4️⃣Macaque Path ticket is 68 yuan, buy on-site, sign and stamp, you have to sign a disclaimer, if something happens, no responsibility will be pursued, after all, there might be safety risks. 5️⃣The Jianmen Pass Gate Tower is the core attraction of the entire scenic area. The South Gate is closest to the Gate Tower, about 800 meters away. 'One man guards the pass, ten thousand are unable to open' refers to this place (If you don't want to climb and only see the Gate Tower, you can enter from the South Gate.

The Sword Pavilion is towering and majestic, with one man guarding the pass, and ten thousand unable to open it

Sword Gate Pass It rained all day yesterday, and it was said to be closed. After coming here today, it indeed feels too dangerous to climb in heavy rain. Let's get back to the point, take bus number 7 from Jian'ge County Bus Station to reach the scenic area, remember to enter the station to get on the bus and buy a ticket, you can't wait for it outside, the fare to the scenic area is 3 yuan. It is recommended to enter from the north gate and exit from the south gate, this way there are more downhill paths which are less strenuous, some say downhill hurts the knees, but I think taking it slow and applying force effectively is quite helpful. The ticket is 105 yuan, those who can recite 'The Road to Shu is Hard' from memory get free admission, it is recommended to only take the first section of the cable car for 50 yuan, which can be purchased after entering the main gate of the scenic area. After getting off the cable car, you will face a choice of three paths: one is to continue taking the second section of the cable car (suitable for the elderly and those carrying children), the second is the Gibbon Path (suitable for the brave seeking thrills), and the third is the intermediate Bird Path. I decisively chose the Bird Path, the Gibbon Path looked a bit scary, even for the Bird Path, you need to climb with both hands holding onto chains, so remember not to hold a stick or carry things in your hands, after a period of climbing, the path becomes gentler, but there is a cliff on the right side, you must pay attention to safety, and try not to look down, it really makes you dizzy, after coming down I felt my blood pressure had risen Then it's a brisk walk, passing through the Small Tunnel (which I didn't notice, confused), Stone Bamboo Peak, Skyline, and finally the Pass Tower. I walked and stopped along the way, taking 5 hours in total, I am from the Northeast, I had a bowl of hot Douhua (tofu pudding with chili oil and brine) on the road, and a smoked pork rib, both for the first time, and they tasted quite good. Then exit through the south gate and continue to take bus number 7 back to the county town, this bus seems to run at intervals depending on the passenger flow, the driver said it might be 30 minutes, or possibly 50 minutes.

Zhuge Liang and Li Bai did not deceive me

【Tickets】Adults 100, half price 50 for ages 6-18 and 60-65, insurance for 10 yuan for those over 65, free for those who can recite 'The Road to Shu is Hard'. 【Experience】Before coming, be sure to prepare for some climbing. I don't oppose taking the No. 1 and No. 2 cable cars up and down the mountain, but the essence of the scenery is underfoot. To visit the Guanlou, you must walk there. Some places really require using hands and feet, so it's best to bring gloves. Remember, 'One man guards the pass, ten thousand are unable to get through', and also remember 'The Road to Shu is Hard, harder than climbing to the sky', this is not just talk. On the seventh day of the National Day holiday, October 5, 2023, it rained, and suddenly there were a lot fewer tourists. It's slippery in the rain, the zip line is definitely closed, the electric carts are definitely closed, and I guess the Bird Path and the Monkey Path are also closed.

An old street, on both sides of the street are some old buildings or some distressed buildings. Unlike other ancient streets, most of the facades of this street are closed, and it is not noisy here. Except we only have local old people left, our appearance seems to disturb the tranquility here, but it seems to bring a little vitality to this too quiet old street. Local grandmother, in such a good weather, holding a bench and basking in the sun to peas. After asking for consent, a group of people took this set of photos. But somehow, I saw the word loneliness in this photo. This is a residence in the Qing Dynasty. It has been more than 100 years old and we are fortunate to be able to visit it. The wooden structure of the house is simple and quaint. This is actually very suitable for photos, so I have a few photos here. After finishing the tour, I am ready to return, and the street has returned to tranquility. At this time, I quickly took a single photo. We came and went, the streets were lively and quiet, and this day, every day, its the same, and its been a few decades.

Walking on the ancient road covered by pines and cypresses, the simple sturdy horse-studded piles, the bluestone roads covered with traces, and the ancient buildings carrying history... The mountains and rivers of the roads are steep and beautiful, and they are amazing and lingering. Early the next morning, we set foot on the road to the ancient road.

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.
