The travel notes of Shimen Plank Road Just entered the scenic spot, the Yugukou City Building hit into the eye, the scarlet gate is simple and solemn, as if telling the story of the past. The Yugukou Waterfall next to it was running down, the water splashed, reflecting the colorful light in the sun. Under the waterfall, the sculpture of the beautiful woman stands quietly and with a gentle attitude, which makes people think of the legend of the bonfire drama. Along the trail, Shimen Cultural Square appeared in front of you. On the right side of the square, the sculptures of Han Wang Liu Bang and Han Wu Emperor Liu Che were solemn and solemn, highlighting the style of the big Han Xiong; The history story in the left window vividly reproduces the vastness of Han culture. During the stroll, I seem to travel through time and space and feel the weight of history. The Lovers Bridge not far away is a red cable bridge, which is across the green river, and the surrounding green mountains and trees are against each other, which is beautiful like a painting. Walk up the bridge, the breeze blows, the bridge sways gently, bringing a different kind of fun. Going forward, the mountain and river view stand there quietly. It was built to commemorate Xiao He and Cao Shen who built mountains and rivers, cigarettes and talk about the achievements of the ancients. The huge plank road map on the inner wall depicts the hardship of "difficulty in the martyrdom, difficult to go to the blue sky", and also shows the wisdom and tenacity of the ancients. Continue forward, Shimen Dam stands. The double arch dam, built in the 1960s and 1970s, is the "mother library" of the prosperity of Hanzhong. The plank road under the dam, the site of the Sichuan-Shaanxi Highway, is called "Xinshimen", and the ancient stone gate echoes the times, witnessing the changes of the times. On the top of the dam, the beauty of Gaoxia Pinghu came into view, and the plank road was like ribbons wrapped around the mountains and rivers. On the plank road, the breeze was blowing, the river was rippling, and the body and mind were relaxed instantly. On the way, I met a woman in Hanfu, holding a grease paper umbrella, strolling and enjoying the scenery, adding a touch of bright color to this simple plank road. The stone gate plank road has a heavy history and a natural spiritual show, which makes people linger. This journey, I am full of harvest, and I look forward to seeing it again next time.
Shimen Plank Road: The long song of the landscape through time stepped into the Shimen Plank Road Scenic Area, and the fresh air immediately dispersed the fatigue of my journey. Looking up, the town hall of Yugukou is solemn, and the red door is open, like welcoming guests from all directions. On the left, the waterfall fell, hitting the stone, splashing layers of water, crystallizing like a broken jade. Under the waterfall, the beautiful sculpture of the beautiful woman is elegant and caressing the piano, and the crane pavilion next to it is like listening to the sound of the sky. Everything is beautiful like an unreal picture. Walking along the river bank, the humanistic landscape sculptures and reliefs on both sides are dazzling, as if telling the story of the past. Going forward, Shimen Cultural Square came into view. The sculpture of Han Wang Liu Bang was extraordinary, and the sculpture of Han Wu Emperor Liu Che next to it was also magnificent. The story in the window on the other side, the characters are lifelike, let me have a deeper understanding of Han culture. Step on the lovers bridge, this red iron cable bridge across the two sides, the river under the bridge is flowing. The breeze blows, the bridge body gently shakes, and a different feeling is pouring in my heart. It is said that "when you want to have love for a long time, you will walk three times on the bridge of your lover". Although I am alone, I can feel this romantic expectation. Passing through the mountain and river view, this is built to commemorate Xiao He and Cao Gan who built the mountain and river to benefit the people, and it is also the first avenue view in southern Shaanxi. The cigarettes inside the view, the huge plank road map on the wall attracted many eyes, the seven plank road showed the wisdom and hardships of the ancients, people can't help but sigh. When I came to Cuiping Bridge, the mountains and stones on both sides of the Straits were steep, and the Shimen Dam stood tall. The hyperbolic arch dam, built in the 1960s and 1970s, is the "mother library" in the local people, which has been credited with the prosperity of Hanzhong. Now it is undergoing risk removal and reinforcement projects, and I believe it will continue to play a major role in the future. Climb along the stone ladder, finally climb to the top of the dam, to the entrance of the plank road. In front of Gaoxia Pinghu, the blue waves rippled, and the plank road was like a ribbon wrapped around the mountains and rivers. Stepping on the plank road, every step seems to step on the veins of history. Thinking about that year, Liu Bang's festival, Zhuge Liang's car and horse have passed here, Shangjia's camel bell, literati ink footprints have also stayed here, lively. Standing on the observation platform, watching the relics of the Zhanguo plank road at the foot, the anti-war road on the mountainside and the modern national road flying overhead, my heart is full of shock. Three generations of roads meet here, like opening a three-dimensional traffic history book, witnessing the continuation of civilization. The Shimen Plank Road is not only a gathering place of natural beauty, but also a treasure of history and culture. Here, I touched the traces of the years, felt the wisdom and courage of the ancients, and also experienced the magnificent and gentleness of the mountains and rivers.
