The road is surrounded by lush bushes, and the cliffs on both sides of the road are verdant with trees and mountains. Meiling used to be an ancient battlefield, and it was also a place where the Red Army fought many times during the Revolutionary War. In particular, Comrade Chen Yi led the troops in this area for three years of guerrilla warfare, and wrote the "Meiling Three Chapters" in the face of danger. Meiling is also named because of the plum trees planted along the two roads. The plum blossoms in Meiling are all over Lingnan Lingbei. In winter, the plum blossoms bloom in full bloom and become the world of plum blossoms. "Yuling Hanmei" is one of the four famous scenic spots for plum exploration in the history of our country.
