It is a lot of people, especially complain about the vehicles in the scenic area, because they are visiting from the north gate, and the self-driving vehicles are parked in the north gate parking lot. After the tour is completed, come out from the east gate to do the scenic bus (free) to the south gate, and then take the scenic bus from the south gate to the north gate. First of all, after the tour is very tired, why can't the scenic spot arrange a vehicle from the east gate to the north gate? Then, although the bus is free, the relevant fees are also implied in the ticket. The driver of the bus from East Gate to South Gate actually forced the child of 1.4 meters to sit on the adult's leg when the seat was full and the adult tourist was given a seat. Most of the vehicles were driving on Panshan Road. Ignore traffic safety.
Too many people! It was almost 4 hours on the road. I started to queue up at the cable car. I queued for an hour and then went to the ape kneading road for two hours. The ape kneading road was queued for another hour. When I went up the mountain, I had nothing left. I could only go down the mountain by myself! At night, the high-speed rail 🚄 tickets were refunded. Back article free tickets!
Jianmenguan Scenic Area is the first Xiongguan in the world. It belongs to the 5A-level scenic spot. There are many scenic spots in the scenic area, Liangshan Temple, Glass Plank Road, Jianmen Guanguan Building, Shiqi Peak, Ping Xiang Houqi, Jiang Weicheng, Red Star Square, Cuiyun Corridor, etc. You can play for a whole day. If you are tired, it is best to play for two days! It is far from the north gate and there are many distances to walk. You can soon see the Jianmenguan Guanlou from the south gate, which saves time and effort, but there are many attractions to play! Those with legs who are willing to challenge themselves can choose the ape ramp, and the elderly and children can choose the bird lane with a little easier!
The high-speed rail station came down, and the drip went directly. The east gate was renovated and the route from the north gate was selected. No. 1 cableway, there is a small section of the exit to the entrance of the Bird Road/Ape Knead Road that needs to climb the mountain. I chose the bird road and started a narrow and steep climb. The scenic spot behind suggested the most dangerous section, but I felt that in addition to being narrow, I might not be too tired to meet. The bird road comes out to the top of the mountain and there is another section that needs to climb the mountain. The glass observation deck feels average. The three-inch hall of Liangshan Temple feels small and exquisite. The top of the mountain came out and walked back, and walked to the fairy corridor. It took about two hours to enter the scenic spot. Then all the way through the big hole, the first line of the sky went down the mountain, there was an uphill mountain climbing, but overall downward, through the gate of the building out of the south gate, a total of about 4 hours. The advantage of the north gate is that there are many downhill roads. You can play the bird road/ape kneading road first by physical strength. It is more friendly to people with limited physical strength. The south gate may not be able to climb all the way to the bird road. In addition, the south gate is just outside the bus terminal.
Jianmenguan Scenic Area is relatively standardized. There are 64-year-olds at home who bought half-price tickets. The staff at the ticket gate said that they had refunded. They were going to apply for free tickets. The staff was very responsible. There was no random price for shopping in the scenic area. Water snacks, price norms, and tickets will be inevitable. It is worth coming to the Jianmenguan Scenic Area once, passing the Jianmenguan, life is not difficult!
Let me talk about my first experience of going to Jianmenguan. The South Gate - Guanlou - The first line of the sky to the top of the mountain viewing platform - The cableway down the mountain (North Gate) After going down the mountain, people have been very tired and have been looking forward to the ape - the bird road for a long time and gave up! ! Because we can only choose to take the cableway down the mountain from the south gate to the top (there is no other way, or return to the south gate from the original road), and go down the mountain and go to the ape ramp or the bird ramp from the north gate and go up the mountain (the ape ramp and the bird ramp are one-way traffic, only up the mountain), Then go down the mountain or return to the south gate when you come, or take the cableway down the mountain to the north gate again! This will take a lot of repeated routes, too tired! Summary: After going up the mountain from the south gate, you need to go down the bird road and the ape ramp twice to the north gate and then go up the mountain, and take the same cableway twice to go down the mountain! This will take a lot of wrong roads and spend more money on the ropeway! The best route to the south gate, I personally think that I can choose to avoid the pit like this: South Gate, Guanguan Building, sigh Guantai, Guanbei Gate (the foot of the mountain on this line, not climbing the mountain) After going to the north gate, you can choose one of the "birdway" and "ape ramp" to go up the mountain and then go to the observation deck - the cableway down the mountain - and choose "birdway" and "ape ramp" again. Go up the mountain and then start hiking down the mountain - Shiqi Peak - the first line of the sky - to the south gate! (This line does not take the repeated route)! Take the north gate route suggestion: Ape ramp, one of the bird lanes up the mountain - observation deck - cableway down the mountain - ape ramp, one of the bird lanes - then hike the stone peak - the first line of Tianyuguan Building - then walk the foot of the mountain back to the north gate!
I ate breakfast full, took the train to Guangyuan, and braved the heavy rain to visit the Jiange. The downside is that the rain is heavy, the scenic sightseeing car has stopped, and there are more roads to go. The ape ramp that wants to climb and help has also stopped. The advantage is that there are really few people, the air is really good, the ape ramp is not open, it is not that I dare not climb. Although I didn't go to the bird road in Xidang Taibai, I mainly misestimated the area of the scenic spot. I thought it was Jianmenguan Guancheng, and the bird road ape ramp was on both sides of the cliff. In fact, Guancheng went to the ape ramp and walked more than 10,000 steps, or climbed the mountain road. My parents are feeling old, can't walk, to the bird road, directly take the No. 2 cable car. In fact, the ramp is difficult, even the electric era of the train, but also feel. Not long after Deyang, it was a dense small cave. It was still 3 minutes before entering Guangyuan Station. It was still passing through the cave. The stretch of the 72nd peak was constantly visible. It is said that before the high-speed rail was repaired. It takes 9 hours to drive from Guangyuan to Chengdu. You can imagine the cold weapon era, facing the cliff that can't see the end, the despair of soldiers and horses. Chengdu Plain is a blessing, really not want to enter. The towering Jianmenguan is really a husband when the Guanwanfu is open. This is the top of the sky, this guard is the blessing of the Jianmen Qianxi is God's heavenly soldiers. Yinping Trail is a forced choice. Even in that era, human life is not worth the money, but it can't be filled. In short, Jianmenguan is still quite shocking, it is worth a thousand miles to run. In addition, in addition to the historical relics and humanistic feelings, the scenery is also very good. The local special tofu banquet, tired of playing, and then have a full meal, beautiful. Finally, add a knowledge point, came to Guangyuan to know that Queen Wu Zetian was born in Guangyuan.
