🚗 Transportation Tip: For those driving, park your car in Puan Town and take the bus to Lanma Wall to start the hike

【Ancient Shu Road Hiking Experience】🏞️
This 2km-long stone slab road is the site of the Lychee Post Road from the poem "A Ride in the Dust Makes the Concubine Smile"! Walking on this thousand-year-old road, treading the path once walked by Li Bai and Du Fu, feels like having a conversation with history🧐

【Breathtaking Ancient Trees】🌲
The ancient cypress trees here average over 800 years old! The largest one requires eight people to hug it. Standing beneath it and looking up, you really feel as small as an ant; these ancient trees have been the true masters for thousands of years! 🙏 (ps: Please be sure to protect the ancient trees~)
