Walking the ancient road in the Qinling Mountains is addictive, although it is a little sadistic, but there are beautiful views; Think about the people who walked back then, it was really not easy to make a name for profit.
The road is difficult, and food and accommodation are not easy.
But I didn't expect that this ancient road was not completed, but in the deep mountains, I found a huge hotel, which can accommodate more than 400 people to eat and stay, which is amazing.
I had the opportunity to live in Yingpan Town, Zhishui County, and I wanted to explore the Qinchu Ancient Road.
The Niubei Liang Scenic Area next to Yingpan Town is already well known to everyone, and in recent years, the South Cottage has also been in a mess, what about the Qinchu Ancient Road? I'm looking forward to it.
Turn in from the gate of the Qinchu Ancient Road Scenic Area written on the side of the provincial road, pass several settlements along the way, there is a fork with the sign of the three forks of the ancient road, and here you will reach the gate of the scenic spot that says "Ultimate South Mountain".
The style of the gate is the same as the first one, but the huge building next to it attracts me.
Looking around in the past, imitating the ancient architecture of the Ming and Qing dynasties, simple and elegant, green bricks and gray tiles, carved beams and paintings, grinding bricks and seams - in fact, this is nothing, the key is the scale, I really want to describe it with grandeur.
Such a hotel is placed on the plain, it is also huge, deep in the mountains, it is indeed unexpected.
Understand, the hotel can accommodate more than 400 people at the same time meeting, catering and accommodation, in addition to the hotel's regular business center, Chinese and Western restaurants, tea bars, bars, coffee bars, bathing centers, large conference rooms, multi-functional halls, KTV, as well as bonfires, outdoor barbecues.
Friends said that this is the Cuiwei Palace Hotel, known as the standard of quasi-four-star hotels.
Cuiwei Palace, I know, has verses:
Cuiwei Temple Bencuiwei Palace, pavilion pavilion dozens of heavy.
The Son of Heaven does not come to the monk and goes, and pours a pine plant when the woodcutter.
The ruins of that Cuiwei Palace are in Huangyu Temple Village, and I climbed up to it. The word Cuiwei is very good, it means turquoise, many verses are used, many place names are used.
Here the mountains are empty and verdant, green mountains are in hand, green water flows for a long time, it is indeed a good place, Li Bai has a poem "But take care of the path, the sky is green."
If the ancients crossed the Qinchu Ancient Road, they set off from Chang'an City and walked the mountain road for a few days, sleeping in such a hotel and eating a small barbecue, it would really be more moist than the emperor.
I didn't go in and take a closer look, and I had to hurry to the scenic area to walk the ancient road.
The road is being built, and the road is green and verdant, but what is even more surprising is that there are rape flowers opening next to it.
This place is more than thirteen hundred above sea level, and in early July, it is indeed cool, but seeing the rape flowers, it is indeed a bit exaggerated.
The road is being repaired, and there is no problem in oversized palanquin cars after repairing.
There is a Dragon King Temple on the side of the road, but the gate is closed, the Dragon King Ye will not worship, and the original place name of this place is called the Dragon King Temple.
The roadside dam also looks like it has just been built, and the water has not gathered into a lake.
After crossing the dam, the scenic gate is in front of you, this is the third gate, and you can enter the scenic area.
There is an introduction to the scenic area next to it. The Qin-Chu Ancient Road, also known as the Shang Yu Ancient Road, is a post road from the ancient Qin State to the Chu State, and is an important passage connecting the Qin Mountains and Chu Waters, and the north-south exchange is extremely important.
According to the "Records of Zhashui County": The road was built in the second year of Baoding (562) of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, with a width of 2.5 meters, which was the throat of Qin into Chu, and it was also a place where ancient soldiers had to fight. In the early 50s, it was restored twice and named "Xikang Pack Road", and the Qinchu Ancient Road was also known as "Yigu Road".
Yigu is Chang'an's Dayu, in fact, you can walk from Shiyanyu Xiaoyu and Kuyu next to it. Before the modern road was built, in the fifties and sixties, traffic on both sides still walked here.
The scenic area introduces the lightning splitting stone, Heiligou waterfall, ancient inn - money playing field, red birch forest, mountain view, meadow, glacier ruins, bitter bamboo sea, and azalea forest.
Walk to the Qinling girder above, alpine meadow, see the north and south scenery, and see the grandeur of the south.
I always wanted to cross once, but due to physical strength and time, I was a little hesitant, and this time I wanted to see how the scenic route was arranged.
The gate is closed, there is no business, and the construction of the scenic area has not been completed.
Look at the charging standard at the door, 85 in the high season and 65 in the low season, and there are tens of yuan in transportation fees. Ask the workers at the door and say that the team can still receive them, but they don't pick up individual customers.
There is a provincial cultural protection monument next to it, and the gate is located at the ruins of the Huamen Tower in the Qinchu Ancient Road. Huamen Tower is an open land where two streams meet, and used to be a resting place for officials from south to north, a supply station for soldiers and horses, and a distribution center for merchants.
Legend has it that Emperor Taizong of Tang inspected the defense through the Qinchu Ancient Road and set up camp at Huamen Tower to rest and train troops.
If it were now, Tang Taizong would definitely choose to rest in the Cuiwei Palace below - remember, isn't Cuiwei Palace the palace where Tang Taizong spent his summer?
