    "The scenic spot is relatively large and one-way tour. The south gate is suitable for children and the elderly, and the legs are inconvenient. It is recommended that the north gate enters the south gate and exits. You can go down the bird road or ape road. It is very exciting. It is definitely difficult to feel the ramp and it is difficult to go to the blue sky."
    Jiange
    34.3km from downtown
    Highlights: The Jianmen Pass is located in Jiange County between Dajian Mountain and Xiaojian Mountain. It has been famous throughout history, holding an important position militarily due to its precipitous topography and ease of defense. Visitors to the scenic area can take the easier “Bird Path” of the mountain, or the “Ape Route,” which requires renting professional mountain climbing equipment.

    "Friends who like stone carvings can go and see it. There are not many people, but the stone carvings inside are more exquisite and worth a visit. Still on the edge of the Jialing River, the overall scenery is also good. When I went last time, there were staff doing cultural relics protection work."

    "The temple scenic spot is basically built on the mountain and has history. The interior is basically a large Wuzetian Museum. It is worth visiting if you like history. Ascension can enjoy the scenery of the Jialing River and the cities on both sides of the Straits. The disadvantage is that the fare is a bit high. There are plenty of parking spaces in the scenic spot."

    "The mountains and rivers are beautiful, the natural oxygen bar, there are not many steps, not tiring, the whole journey is 3 kilometers, and the round-trip stop is only 12,000 steps. If you don't want to walk, you can make a sightseeing car (I don't feel necessary) and want to get close to nature. The scenic area is well managed, there are multiple bathrooms inside, clean and bright. Ctrip needs to buy tickets 2 hours in advance, 5 yuan cheaper than the store, no need to change paper tickets. The parking lot at the bottom of the mountain is not big enough, and the charge is 10 yuan. It feels a bit difficult to park late at the festival. Peacocks are also very friendly. Usually there are not many people."

    Highlights: Mingyue Gorge was formed by Jialing River breaking through the mountains. It can be called the throat of the ancient Sichuan Road. It forms the only passage connecting the north and the south. The terrain is terrain but it offers views of the breathtaking natural environment. The valley is full of strange peaks and stones in this particularly peculiar natural landscape. Mingyue Gorge was originally called Chaotian Gorge. Later, the literati of the Ming and Qing dynasties changed the name to Mingyue Gorge. Then it was dubbed as the “Transportation Museum of China”. When walking down the plank road of this scenic spot, it is fascinating to personally see the dangers posed by the ancient Sichuan Road mixed interestingly with the magnificent beauty of Jialing River.

    "The hot springs are soaked, but the best thing to play is the amusement park! The facilities are very large, I have been drenched several times and I have been blinded. These are all free to play, and the staff is very good. But the slippers given are the same, and then they are easy to be worn by others."

    "Traveling in April, the bauhinia on both sides of the Straits is also too beautiful. The left line focuses on natural landscapes and wildlife. It is all luck to see wildlife. After 4 pm, yak (twisted horned scorpion), Tibetan Emirates monkeys are more common. If you want to see black bears, golden monkeys, and giant pandas, it is difficult. The right line is mainly humanistic landscape, Yinping Ancient Road, etc., Motianling Pass, etc., which is generally worth a visit. Entering the mountain area, remember to do a good job of rain prevention and cold prevention measures and code-named food and water. There are few places to eat in the scenic area."
