For thousands of years, people have carved out six ancient roads in this steep mountain in order to open up a road to Shu. While admiring the beautiful scenery, you have to admire the perseverance and courage of the ancient people. Walking along the plank road, I found that the footsteps of spring are slowly approaching. The awakened plank road is like a fairyland on earth. From afar, the smoke is like clouds and the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers. The Fire Plank Road is a scenic spot in Mingyue Gorge. In the TV series Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the scene of burning the plank road was filmed here. Everyone likes tranquility, but life in the city is contrary to this temperament. People often yearn for the "invisible scenery", but don't know where it is. In fact, it is not somewhere else, but on the Mingyue Gorge plank road. The Mingyue Gorge plank road is a scenic spot in the eyes of photographers and a place they dream of. In the past, people seldom saw photos of the Yuanyang Rice Terraces. The beautiful scenery here had existed for thousands of years but no one could see it. Because of the hard work, the locals would not appreciate it as a beautiful scenery. Because of the inconvenient transportation here, it is difficult for foreign tourists to get here. This beautiful scenery is not a masterpiece of nature, but the result of hard work of local Hani people, especially Hani women. Literati and poets admired nature, so they renamed Chaotian Gorge to Mingyue Gorge, which means "clear wind and bright moon". Mingyue Gorge can be called the throat of the Shu Road. It is the only passage connecting the north and the south. It has steep terrain and unique natural advantages. For thousands of years, people have left behind six ancient and modern roads here in order to open up the Shu Road, so people also call this place the China Transportation History Museum, which is an important place for studying ancient Chinese transportation. The rocks on both sides of Mingyue Gorge are mostly silvery white, and the warm sunlight shining on them gives people a lazy feeling. If it is a cloudy day, the sky is low and seems to be descending into the canyon, as if it is going to swallow up the entire plank road. It is spectacular and majestic. There are green peaks on both sides of the plank road and the river in the distance. The beautiful scenery complements each other. The whole gorge seems to be covered with a layer of moonlight, so hazy and beautiful. Mingyue Gorge is a place where strange peaks and rocks are produced. There are strange rocks of various shapes: there is the Tianzhu Peak with a rugged shape and half-piercing the sky, the magnificent and deep Huanglang Cave, the Toad Bei which was called "the fourth spring in the world" by the tea saint Lu Yu, the Immortal Bridge flying in the sky, and the Qingfeng "Three Knives" that cut through the clouds and mist. The horizontal rocks are like a pair of scissors that are good at cutting, which can cut out pieces of clothes that suit your taste. Wearing them makes you feel happy and makes your mind become immortal along with the mountains. Looking at it again and again, the rocks look like old men in the sky, adding a sense of vicissitudes to the strange mountains. The full beauty of Mingyue Gorge can only be appreciated on a moonlit night. Mingyue Gorge is most beautiful in autumn. The light haze in the mountains in this season is like a soft and delicate dream. The plank road will turn red and yellow in late autumn, burning like a red flame, eye-catching and refreshing. Moss grew on the exposed parts of the rocks, and the sunset shining on them seemed so long. travel

At the same time, it is also an important part of the Jianmen Road. Standing on the edge of the ancient road, watching the Jialing River flow from the mountain gorge, not only has the feeling of beauty, but also sighs that it is difficult, it is difficult to go to the sky.
