The scenic spot is nice, the parking lot is large, it was drizzling on the day I went there, and the clouds and mist were very beautiful... You don't need to climb high, but there are quite a few steps inside... In my opinion, it is not a painless climb, but it is still worth it
You can purchase entrance and cable car tickets in advance on Ctrip. Take the Sky Ropeway directly to the Cloud Ladder, then take the Cloud Ladder to Longtou Mountain Square, where you can begin your plank path hike. Today, despite arriving at noon, the fog was still thick, completely obscuring the sea of clouds. Just a vast expanse, yet still filled with mystery. The low visibility has its advantages: even the most treacherous plank paths are less intimidating. The first half of the path is mostly downhill and flat, while the second half is more uphill, making it a bit tiring. Along the way, you'll see a variety of trees and wildflowers, making it a true botanical exploration. If you have more time, you can stay at Longtou Mountain, where accommodation and dining are provided. The entire journey takes three hours, followed by a descent.

Xinghan Shengjing - a must-see attraction for tourists in Hanzhong. Although it is a modern building, it does have the charm of Jiangnan water towns. It should be based on the model of the Tang Dynasty Furong Garden, but it has its own unique charm, especially the various sculptures on display, which are all priceless works handed down from generation to generation. It can be seen that the owner has unique craftsmanship and a keen eye for gems.
It is recommended to go in the morning, the environment is beautiful, there are few people, the water is clear and the clouds are light, it is very relaxing to walk around and not very tiring. It is best to stay in the Western-style buildings where the exit is not open. There are few people and beautiful scenery. It feels very beautiful when you are out of the country.

What impressed me most about Qingmuchuan was its cultural history, its hospitality and thoughtfulness. When I stayed at the Qu Family Courtyard, I found that the ancient charm was interspersed with modern accommodations. The people in the town were enthusiastic but not snobbish, and they worked hard to live instead of just making money from tourists. My wife and children missed breakfast, and the little sister from the Qu Family Courtyard thoughtfully brought them food from the kitchen, which was very comforting. I will come again next time.
The ancient town is heavily commercialized, but fortunately it is not expensive, which may have a lot to do with the location! (Ancient town hidden in the mountains) The attractions are close to each other and not far away, so overall it is okay.

The shrine dedicated to Zhuge Liang boasts a long history, having been renovated during the Qing Dynasty and more recently. It's a great place to reminisce about the past, allowing you to stop and explore as needed. It's best to hire a guide, as this will only reveal the historical sites and miss the deeper cultural context.
There's also a historical exhibition on the Fourth Red Army's activities and battles in Mian County, along with an anti-corruption education exhibition hall.

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.

The scenic area is not very big, it is very easy to play, there are many beautiful scenery, you can carefully and easily play and take pictures. It is recommended to walk up and take a sightseeing bus down after seeing the pandas 🐼🐼. It is very convenient!
It was raining when I went, but the natural scenery was quite nice. I recommend taking the sightseeing bus in and walking out.
The main attraction was the two pandas, and the panda science museum was also quite good.

Zhuge Kongming's three visits to the thatched cottage, his division of the empire into three parts, the empty city plan, the wooden ox and the flowing horse, his seven captures of Meng Huo, his ten northern expeditions from Mount Qishan, his exhaustive efforts, and his final burial at Dingjun Mountain, the tomb of Wu Hou. A circumnavigation of the tomb pays tribute to his legacy.
Zhuge Lixiang was buried under Dingjun Mountain. "Born to be a northern expedition, die to keep the territory" coexisted with the Han Dynasty. I swear to die without forgetting the big industry of the northern expedition. Yesterday, I went to Wuzhangyuan, today I went to Dingjun Mountain. I died in Si, buried here. I want to live in Shandong, grow in Hubei, died in Wuzhangyuan, buried in Dingjun Mountain. How difficult is the pursuit of a life - I drive only 2 hours away, the life of the poor, sitting on the bench next to the grave for a long time, sad, more feeling the great righteousness of the beautiful!

The scenery is very beautiful, it's like the Little Switzerland of Shaanxi, haha. The cableway is very long, and it's basically vertical up and down at the end. There's a lot of fog and the temperature difference is big. It's recommended to wear a jacket.
Including the cableway, the total cost is about 110 per person. The cost-effectiveness is not high in Shaanxi. After getting off the cableway, you still need to hike for a while, which is quite good. It's easy and you can exercise a little bit~
The beautiful scenery on the top of the mountain is worth it, but the infrastructure of the scenic area is average, the guidance is not clear, the garbage is a little scattered (controllable), the cable car feels old and there is no way to take pictures. It's gray, and the natural scenery is nothing to say
Under special circumstances, you can be taken to the scenic area for free from the intersection, but the cable car is out of service, so you have to walk up and down, which is quite troublesome, and there is nothing new, all pine trees and steps. There is no water, no fun, and the shuttle bus in the scenic area is still 10 yuan one way, which is not a good experience

Experience the legendary retreat of Zhang Liang, the hero and immortal, in this tranquil spot nestled in the Qinling Mountains. The coolness of a bamboo forest can dispel the summer heat. Sit in the pavilion, sip a cup of hot tea, and chat with friends—it's a truly unique experience.
It is very close to the old street, less than 10 minutes' walk away. The facilities are very new, all with smart curtains and toilets. I live in a terrace room. It is very pleasant to drink tea and chat on the terrace after going out for a day. The point is! The owner sister is super nice! ! ! ! Because the hotel was closed when I came back on the first night, the owner sister helped me order food and sent it to the room. It was very delicious, so I went to eat there directly the next day. The next day, the owner sister also recommended a delicious breakfast shop. I originally went to the government canteen to eat, but it was closed on weekends. The owner sister rode a small electric donkey to catch up and give instructions. On the third day, I came back from the fire shop. It was very hot. The owner sister sent me cut watermelon and mineral water. On the morning of the fourth day, the owner sister also went to buy a special breakfast. This time I felt the enthusiasm of Liuba and the thoughtfulness of the owner sister! Come again next time!
