Unstoppable and unforgettable 10 minutes life time experience and fun-filled moments. After about four months of ESL teaching in Jiange before I realized that such a beautiful and monumental place exist.
Jianmen Pass is a mountain pass located southwest of the city of Guangyuan in Sichuan province.
It's located in Jiange County which is a few distance from my apartment.
It's famous for the beauty of its steep slopes and it's strategic importance in ancient times.
As the traditional Chinese saying goes, "If one man guards the pass, ten thousand are unable to get through".
I had real fun with couple of friends at different outings.

Zhaojue Ancient City—a sediment of Shu Kingdom's historical culture
A 2200-year-old ancient city quietly awaits my arrival.
Ancient Han city walls, Jiameng Pass, Qinglin Gate, Zhanfeng Gate, Confucian Temple, County Government Office, Examination Halls, and Jinghou Temple ruins bear witness to the extraordinary history of this ancient city in Bashu.
Walking slowly on the wet bluestone streets after the rain, I am intoxicated by the unique charm of this ancient city on the banks of the Jialing River, a key route between Qin and Shu.
