Meiyang Pass｜"The First Pass of the Sui and Tang Dynasties"

Meiyang Pass is located outside the east gate of Wugong Town, Wugong County, Shaanxi Province, on the east bank of the Qishui River. ❤Recommended Reason: Meiyang Pass was established during the Western Han Dynasty and got its name because it is located east of Meiyang City (now Wugong Town). As a crucial land route for foreign traffic in ancient China, Meiyang Pass was the first important pass on the Silk Road west out of Chang'an. It is the eastern gate of the ancient city of Wugong, which has a history of 2,360 years. After the Song Dynasty, due to the decline of land traffic with the west, the pass fell into disrepair. 🌟Highlight Features: Now, the Shaanxi Provincial Road 104 line (Xibao North Line) bypasses the southeast of Meiyang Pass. A reconstructed ancient-style pass city spans the original highway, with blue bricks and gray tiles, tall and heavy. The pass tower stands majestically, with an imposing presence. Above the city gate, the five characters "The First Pass of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" are written. ✅Must Experience: After observing the site for a while, although the road conditions here are no longer good, small vehicles passing east and west are still in an endless stream, making Meiyang Pass still a busy traffic hub. 👍Most Recommended: Meiyang Pass is worth visiting. 📍Detailed Address: Near the east slope of Qiaodong Village, Wugong Town, Wugong County, Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province (outside the east gate of the ancient city of Wugong, on the east bank of the Qishui River). 🚉Transportation Guide: Take bus No. 12 within Wugong County, Xianyang City, get off at Wugong Town Station, and walk to the destination.
