Shimen Plank Road: A Must-Visit for Three Kingdoms Fans

📍Shimen Plank Road is located at the northern end of the Hanzhong Basin, at the entrance to the Bao Valley. It is the southern entrance to the Baoxie Road, connecting Guanzhong and Shu. This is where Liu Bang "openly repaired the plank road while secretly crossing the Chencang" and was also a key passage for Zhuge Liang's Northern Expeditions. During the first Northern Expedition, Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi feigned an attack on Cao Zhen here. During the last Northern Expedition, the prime minister went north along this road to Wuzhangyuan, but his ambitions were never realized, which is quite lamentable. Shimen Plank Road has a rich history and is one of the first national key cultural relics protection units. It has the world's earliest artificial tunnel, Shimen, and the "Thirteen Inscriptions of Shimen" cliff carvings. Cao Cao's "Gunxue" is among them. Although most of the stone carvings were submerged due to the construction of the reservoir, the remaining masterpieces shine brightly in the Hanzhong Museum. This is also the hometown of the plank road and Bao Si, and the Shimen Reservoir is magnificent. 🚗Transportation: You can take bus No. 21 or a taxi to get there. It is recommended to take a sightseeing bus in the scenic area. 🍲Food: "Bao River Fresh Fish" is a must-try, and there are many fish restaurants at the entrance of the scenic area for you to choose from. Although Shimen Plank Road does not have stunning scenery, its rich history is enough to make Three Kingdoms fans and history enthusiasts yearn for it. Come here to experience the turbulent times of a thousand years ago, and it will definitely be an unforgettable cultural journey.
