Explore Guangyuan Mingyue Gorge and find the historical charm of the ancient plank road

Mingyue Gorge is an important part of the Jianmen Shu Road, a national key cultural relic protection unit. The scenic area integrates bird trails, plank trails, trackers trails, waterways, highways, and railways in the canyon. It is known as the natural Chinese Transportation Museum.
But the road is flat all the way, which is more suitable for UUs ​​who don’t like to climb mountains.
It takes 2 hours to get there by car from Chengdu
It’s very suitable for a quick trip around the area.

🚗Transportation:
The transportation to Mingyue Gorge is very inconvenient. There is basically no public transportation. You can only drive yourself or take a taxi. Taking a taxi 🚗It’s about 100 from downtown Guangyuan.
🎫Ticket: 70 yuan, I think it’s a bit expensive.

🌟What to see in Mingyue Gorge
1️⃣The trail walked by the mountain people in ancient times
2️⃣In the pre-Qin period, the government advocated the establishment of a plank road on the gorge wall.
3️⃣The tracker track built by boatmen on the riverside in the gorge
4️⃣The boat channel on the Jialing River
5️⃣The Sichuan-Shaanxi Highway built during the Republic of China
6️⃣The Baocheng Railway Tunnel built in the 1950s opposite the Sichuan-Shaanxi Highway

Among them, the ancient plank road site is the earliest excavated area in China, with the most scientific shape and structure, the largest number of remaining holes, the best preservation, and the most ancient plank road style. Walking on the ancient plank road, reminisce about the past and feel nostalgic for the past. After walking along the plank road along the river, you can then walk along the Laohuzui on the Sichuan-Shaanxi Highway, which is quite spectacular~
