The total length of Ninghe plank road is about 400 kilometers, and its length is more than the famous Jiange plank road, which is rare in the relics of ancient plank road in China. According to historical records, the plank road was built in Qin and Han Dynasty, and was first erected with bamboo pipes to convey salt and brine. Folk legend has it that Zhuge Liang fell Wei passage, fell Wei, along the plank road out of Wuxia, when came to pave wooden stakes and boards, easy for the army to pass, retreat, while walking to remove wooden stakes and boards, so that the enemy can not pursue.

Above the cliff wall on the west bank of Longmen Gorge, there are countless neat and square stone holes in turn, which is the relics of the ancient plank road of Daning River. The plank road stone holes are mostly square, the aperture is 20 cm square, and the hole depth is about 30 cm. The upper and lower holes are interlaced into the word "pin", the upper row of two holes inserted wooden piles, the wooden board, the lower hole inserted wooden column oblique support board, forming a triangular support frame, so as to build a "plank road" for people and animals to walk. The ancient plank road is mainly based on Daning River. From Longmenxiakou, through Wuxi County, to Zhenping County, Hubeixi County, and Chengkou County, Chongqing, we have been to Ningchang Ancient Town there is also this plank road, which is estimated to be the same. The total length of the Daninghe plank road is about 400 kilometers, and its length exceeds the famous Jiange plank road, which is second to none in the relics of the ancient plank road in China.

The total length of the ancient trestle road ruins of the Daning River is more than 400 kilometers, which is the first among the ancient trestle road ruins in China. Since when these huge ancient trestle roads were built, there is hardly any record in the existing historical books. It seems that such a grand project has become a mystery for thousands of years. The ancient trestle road in the photo is reconstructed in modern times. Among them, 200 meters are glass trestle road for tourists to see.

A particularly interesting place to recommend.

There is an artificially excavated square stone hole on the cliff of the Daning River. The holes are arranged in parallel, about five feet apart, six inches square and about one foot deep. This is the ancient trestle road of the Daning River. The ancient trestle road network of the Daning River, surrounded by Panshan along the Daning River, is crisscrossed and winding for hundreds of kilometers, running through three provinces (cities) of Hubei, Shaanxi and Chongqing. Its scale and engineering are more difficult than those of Jiange Trestle Road in Sichuan.
