"It is difficult to go up to the salt road, it is difficult to go to the blue sky." The beach area is located in the interior of southern Shu, since ancient times, the traffic is inconvenient, the waterway and river are narrow and the water is shallow and difficult to travel; the overland mountain is steep and steep, winding and rugged. The area along the beach is a place of salt production, and it is also famous for transporting salt by water and land. At the peak of salt production, there were many cranes on the Huangpoling Mountains, salt boats in the Puxi River, and salt carriers on the ancient salt road. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, "increasing production and transporting", the Yonggong Gate and the Jiyun Gate became the two major characteristic symbols of salt transportation along the beach; the overland road took Maotoupu (now Yong'an Town) as the salt transport station, which was an important hub and distribution center of the ancient salt road in Jingsu (Artesian Well Yisu Province), and the salt transport history and culture that was in line with the well salt culture thus became the foundation of the salt transport culture along the beach.
