Yanmen Pass Travel Guide🫰It can be considered as climbing the Great Wall

Originally, I wanted to share all the famous mountains and rivers I have visited with everyone before switching topics, but since all the current spots are in Shanxi, let me take everyone through Shanxi first, and then switch to other places. Later, I will release a special guide on must-visit spots in Shanxi. Please continue to follow, dear friends. After the division of Jin by the Han, Wei, and Zhao families, the Zhao State, located at the northernmost part, was constantly harassed by the Xiongnu. To counter the Xiongnu, Yanmen was built. During the Han and Tang dynasties, Yanmen Pass continued to develop, reaching its peak in the Song dynasty. After the Yuan dynasty, the expansion of the national territory made Yanmen Pass an inner pass, and its military significance gradually declined. Historically, Li Mu, Meng Tian, Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, Li Guang, and the Yang family generals all stationed here. Princess Zhaojun also passed through here to marry beyond the border. Additionally, with the endorsement of Qiao Feng from 'Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils,' it is undoubtedly the 'First Pass of China.' 📍Detailed Address: Daixian, Xinzhou City, Shanxi Province, 15 kilometers from the county town 🚗Transportation Guide: There are direct tourist buses from Daixian Bus Station to Yanmen Pass, or you can take a taxi, which is very convenient 🕙Tour Time: About 2 hours for the small loop, about 4 hours from Mingyue Tower entering and exiting the South Gate 💰Ticket Price: 90 yuan 📌Small Tips: 1. There is a shuttle bus from the visitor center to the scenic area entrance, round trip 20 yuan (forgot the exact amount, but it's not expensive), recommended to take. 2. For the small loop, after passing through the border trade street to the first Wengcheng, you can play along the city wall clockwise or counterclockwise, passing through Yanta, Tianxian Gate, and West City Gate, forming a closed loop. 3. Enter from Mingyue Tower and exit from the South Gate, which means exiting from Tianxian Gate. There is a small road, follow it and you will exit from the South Gate of the scenic area. Along the way, there are attractions such as Warring States stone carvings and Zhaojun's departure reliefs, suitable for hiking enthusiasts. Welcome to like and follow, dear friends.
