    Autumn is the perfect time to hike in Jianmen Pass. The scenery along the way is beautiful, and the historical sites are abundant, making it a very interesting experience. The experience of climbing the monkey trail is thrilling and exciting, and it is highly recommended.

    Thousand Buddha Cliff is a relatively important scenic spot in Guangyuan City, Sichuan Province. How can you not visit it? Thousand Buddha Cliff is located on the banks of the Jialing River. The scenery is very beautiful, but many of the grottoes have been destroyed, which is a pity. It is still worth recommending.

    Although most of the buildings were reconstructed in 2008, they still allow visitors to understand the history of this ancient city. Several thousand-year-old cypress trees within the ancient city are truly magnificent. The ancient city is not large; with a combined ticket covering several attractions, you can quickly explore it all.

    Huangze Temple is located in Lizhou District, Guangyuan City, Sichuan Province. It is the only temple dedicated to Wu Zetian, the only female emperor in Chinese history. Those who are interested can visit it. There is information about the history of the Wu family and a portrait of Wu Zetian. The visit takes about 2 hours.

    Tangjiahe offers a beautiful environment and a healthy ecosystem, with clear air and comfortable temperatures. The wildlife is spotty, and we mainly saw 🐒 and 🐿️. The 🐒 are very active, so be careful not to touch them, as they might grab you or steal your belongings. However, the attractions weren't particularly interesting. We mainly visited the Xiangfei Trail, Linghou Valley, and Shuilungou. The giant panda area wasn't open to the public, so while we might have seen some, it was a disappointment.

    Mingyue Gorge is well worth a visit overall. From Guangyuan, take the green train, which only runs once a day in the morning. Get off at the first stop, cross the bridge, and walk a short distance. Enter the scenic area and continue south, primarily along the old Sichuan-Shaanxi Highway. Along the cliff edge, you'll enjoy the river and mountain views. A train tunnel is located within the opposite cliff, and a portion of the tunnel can be seen. There are also tracker rocks in the river, but the track is difficult to find. At the southernmost end, there's an exhibition hall where you can learn about the history of the Shu Road in Mingyue Gorge. Back, walk along the cliffside plank road below the highway until you reach a valley with a performance area in the middle. During the National Day holiday, you can see Sichuan face-changing and dance performances. Further along the road, there are several smaller attractions, but the main attraction is the plank road and river views. Overall, it's worth a visit, allowing you to experience the ancient Shu Road and the convergence of various modern roads in Mingyue Gorge.

    The ancient cypresses of Cuiyun Corridor: Walking along the path of ancient cypresses, their gnarled trunks and branches seem to tell tales of the vicissitudes of time. Huang Zhong Cypress, Zhang Fei Cypress, Longzhong Cypress, Jiange Cypress—each of these ancient cypresses has a legendary story behind its name.

    I soaked in the hot springs, but the most fun thing was the amusement park! The facilities are very large, and I got soaked several times. I was covered. These are all free to play, and the staff are very good. But the slippers given are all the same, and they are easily worn by others.
