    I heard it's beautiful and requires sunny days, but unfortunately it rained the day we went, so we knew we wouldn't see anything. We were hoping the weather would clear up on the mountain, but to no avail. Two sections of the escalator were under repair, so we walked up a slope and then circled the boardwalk, but it was all foggy. It was a real shame we didn't see any beautiful scenery!

    Xinghan Scenic Area was truly breathtaking! The Han-style palace complex was magnificent and exquisitely detailed, making me feel as if I had traveled back to the powerful Han Dynasty. The indoor exhibits were splendid, and the large-scale performance "Legend of the Heavenly Han" was incredibly captivating; I couldn't take my eyes off it for a second!

    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 Wuhou Temple in Mian County, also known as the Zhuge Temple, is located in Zhuge Ancient Town, Wuhou Town, Mian County, Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province. It is a temple built to commemorate Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of the Shu Han Dynasty. It is the earliest Wuhou Temple built in China and the only one constructed by imperial decree. It truly deserves the title of "The First Wuhou Temple Under Heaven." I bought a combined ticket to see Ma Chao's tomb, but the "Wuhou Temple Exhibition Hall" was surprisingly impressive and definitely worth checking out. Zhuge Ancient Town is also worth a visit.

    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.

    The environment is beautiful with a high green coverage rate. The scenic area offers paid WeChat guided tours, but there are only directional signs and very little description of the attractions. The exhibition hall displays mainly consist of simulations and animations, and the text descriptions are too small, making them unfriendly to those who want to read explanations.

    Zhang Liang, along with Xiao He and Han Xin, were known as the "Three Heroes of the Early Han Dynasty." Liu Bang once praised him, saying, "He devises strategies within the tent and wins battles a thousand miles away." When the Western Han Dynasty was established, it was the day Zhang Liang "resigned from the Han" and stayed on Mount Zibai, deep in the Qinling Mountains, to cultivate Taoism and achieve immortality through fasting. The site is not large, but it has everything you need: mountains, water, pavilions, stories, and even a small museum. It's worth a visit.
