2025 Jiange Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in October)

Important Notes: * Bird Path (free) and Monkey Path (paid) require prior reservation via the WeChat mini program. * On the day of your visit, you can get a 30% discount on the entrance ticket if you present a cross-county high-speed rail ticket. * There is a Route 7 bus stop right outside Jianmen Pass Station. You can scan the QR code to pay ¥7 for the ride. * Avoid using the restroom at the station immediately after disembarking, as Route 7 buses are scheduled to match high-speed rail times. Missing the bus means a long wait. [Recommended Itinerary] North Gate → Cable Car No.1 → Fairy Gallery → Bird Path → Glass Viewing Platform → Liangshan Temple → Return to the intersection → Big and Small Tunnels → Liangshan Pavilion → (Sky Ladder Gorge Walkway) → Stone Bamboo Peak → One-Line Sky → Cliff Gallery → Guanlou Tower → South Gate Based on various sources, we followed the above route for a one-day round trip from Chengdu. Entering through the North Gate and exiting via the South Gate takes over 5 hours. Since we weren’t brave enough, we skipped climbing the Monkey Path and only admired it from afar. It’s clear that the Monkey Path is even more challenging than the Bird Path! If you’re here, you should definitely choose one path to climb. Apart from the Monkey Path and Bird Path, the scenery at Jianmen Pass isn’t particularly outstanding. After completing the Bird Path, you can skip Liangshan Temple and turn right to take the downhill route. Liangshan Temple is quiet and perfect for relaxation and meditation. On the way down, you’ll pass by Guanlou Tower, the iconic building of Jianmen Pass Scenic Area, where you can take photos with the famous phrase "One man guards the pass, ten thousand cannot break through." There are shuttle buses between the South Gate and North Gate, ideal for those who prefer not to walk. We hiked all the way to the South Gate and then took a bus back to the high-speed rail station.

Jianmenguan (剑门关) – The Sword Gate of Sichuan. This is a key junction on the ancient "Sichuan Qin Road." It's filled with steep cliffs, lush forests, and the mysteries of over 2,000 years of Chinese history! 🗡 The name "Jianmenguan" means "Sword Gate" because the narrow gorge looks like it was cut by a sword, and it was once an important defensive post during the Three Kingdoms period. 🌿 Today, it's a nature and historical attraction, featuring a Skywalk, a thrilling glass walkway, and a must-see viewing point. ⛰️ For photographers, the view is absolutely breathtaking! It's like something out of an ancient Chinese movie! 🚗 How to get from Chengdu: • 🚅 Take the high-speed train from Chengdu East Railway Station (成都东站) to Jianmenguan Station (剑门关站). The journey takes approximately 1.5 hours. • 🚖 From Jianmenguan Station, take a shuttle bus or taxi to the gate entrance, which takes about 10 minutes. • 🎟 Approximate entrance fee: 90-120 yuan (this price includes the cable car or glass walkway). #Jianmenguan #Sichuan #TravelChina #ChineseHistory #iamyuumin

Saw it on Douyin, just 1.5 hours from Mianyang. Summer vacation is here, and not playing in water on weekends would be a waste of this holiday. We came with a "let's try it" attitude— Honest review: So much fun, totally worth it, and super kid-friendly! Our little one tends to catch a cold after staying too long in the cold pool, but there’s a hot spring pool right next to it. Jump in for 10 minutes, and they’re recharged and ready to go again. This back-and-forth kept the kids playing all afternoon without worrying about catching a cold. We went on a Saturday and happened to catch their fish-catching activity and the "Cute Duck Rally" event. The kids were over the moon—it was a great bonding experience for the whole family. Bonus: They have indoor hot-water showers! The family room we booked was also full of playful touches. This hotel doesn’t brag much, but it delivers big time—talk about raising the bar! How come people in Guangyuan have been keeping this gem a secret? I heard the Grand Shu Road Night City near Jianmen Pass High-Speed Rail Station is about to open officially. Savor Three Kingdoms cuisine, experience Shu Road and Three Kingdoms culture, and watch live-action performances bringing ancient battles to life. Looks like I’ll be taking the kids there again soon!

#tripaway #tripaway Unstoppable and unforgettable 10 minutes life time experience and fun-filled moments. After about four months of ESL teaching in Jiange before I realized that such a beautiful and monumental place exist. Jianmen Pass is a mountain pass located southwest of the city of Guangyuan in Sichuan province. It's located in Jiange County which is a few distance from my apartment. It's famous for the beauty of its steep slopes and it's strategic importance in ancient times. As the traditional Chinese saying goes, "If one man guards the pass, ten thousand are unable to get through". I had real fun with couple of friends at different outings. #tripaway#gatewayofdefence#awesomeexperience#jiange #tripaway

Regretted taking your kids to Jianmen Pass? That’s because you didn’t avoid the right pitfalls! Tested 8 tips to dodge trouble💣 🚫 Don’t try these activities recklessly ❌ Hiking the entire route: 20 kilometers of mountain trails, kids simply can’t finish it, parents end up carrying them, exhausting everyone ❌ Taking a one-way cable car: Wrong! Round-trip cable car saves energy (120 RMB/person), and taking a taxi between scenic spots costs more ✅ Stick to the core area: Pass Tower + Glass Viewing Platform + Cuiyun Corridor, half a day is enough 🏨 Accommodation tips to avoid trouble ❌ Staying in Jianmen Pass Town: still 5 km from the scenic area, inconvenient for taxis early or late ✅ Stay at hotels near the south gate of the scenic area: for example, “Jianmen Yi Hotel,” 5 minutes walk to the entrance, 200 RMB/night including breakfast ❌ Choosing hotels without elevators: carrying luggage upstairs with kids is too exhausting, be sure to ask clearly 🍜 Food and drink pitfall checklist ❌ Tofu banquet inside the scenic area: 888 RMB set meal is not worth it! Ordering tofu pudding or Huaitai tofu separately is more cost-effective ❌ Buying “Jianmen Ham” from roadside vendors: mostly starch, buy authentic ones at the county supermarket ✅ Recommend “Lao Ma’s Tofu Shop”: near the south gate of the scenic area, 10 RMB/bowl of tofu pudding, kids can eat 2 bowls 💡 Tips to save effort when traveling with kids 🔹 Rent parent-child hiking poles: 20 RMB/pair, helps kids save energy 🔹 Bring a foldable stool: few rest benches in the scenic area, kids can sit anytime when tired 🔹 Pack snacks: beef jerky, cherry tomatoes to replenish energy, healthier than scenic area snacks 📸 Photo tips to avoid pitfalls ❌ Taking photos facing the Pass Tower: too crowded! Taking photos from the side avoids crowds and captures the panorama ✅ Take photos of ancient cypress trees at Cuiyun Corridor: have kids stand beside the tree and shoot from a low angle to show the tree’s height and grandeur

#September Good Places 2025 Jianmenguan Scenic Area is located in Qiangao County, Guangyuan City, Sichuan Province. It is definitely a must-visit historical and cultural attraction. Many people call it "Shu Dao Xiongguan"! 🥳 The terrain here is super dangerous, the mountain walls on both sides tower high, the whole feeling is the place where the ancient soldiers seized a lot of things. Once you enter the scenic spot, the most eye-catching thing is the majestic Guanlou and the meandering canyon. When you walk, you will feel the precipitous vibe of Gushu Road. It's inevitable to walk up and down stone steps, but looking at the beautiful scenery of the valley along the way, you won't be too tired. Climb to a high position and look down, if there are clouds and fog surrounding, straight like stepping into a landscape painting, chill burst! 🌫️ There are also many relics of the Three Kingdoms culture in the scenic area, the historical atmosphere of the whole road is sooooo thick! 💯 Coming to Sword Gate Pass, you can not only feel the dangerous situation of Xiong Pass, but also immerse yourself in the story of the Three Kingdoms at once. It is definitely worth spending the time to walk around! Whether you love nature, history and culture, you will have your “cup of tea” at the Swordsman Scenic Area! 👣 📍Address: Jianmenguan Town, Qiangao County, Guangyuan City, Sichuan Province ⏰ Opening hours: 08:00 - 18:00

With its rich history and natural beauty, Guangyuan is a rewarding destination for travelers seeking depth and tranquility.

A few days ago, I took the kids on a trip to Guangyuan, Sichuan. I wasn't expecting much beforehand; my main goal was to let them loose! Who could have imagined this impromptu short family trip would be so much fun! We're still wanting more!❓❗️ I'm sharing our amazing itinerary with everyone! Whether you're going or not, save it for later! It'll come in handy someday. 1️⃣Day 1: Morning: Xi'an → Guangyuan 🚄 2 hours, plenty of buses. Sleep, eat, and get enough before heading out (driving with children is not recommended). Lunch: Check in and have dinner → 1.5-hour Thousand Buddha Cliff tour (requires 🎫) → 2-hour Huangze Temple tour (requires 🎫). Evening: Enjoy a hot pot meal → Walk to the riverside street below Fengxiang Tower on Gudu Road for a night view (free) → Take a boat tour 🚢 (paid). 2️⃣Day 2: Visit Fenghuang Mountain Park and check in at Fengxiang Tower. Estimated 2 hours (free) → 🚘 Zhaohua Ancient City tour (estimated 2 hours) → 🚘 Check-in at Tianci Hot Springs in Jiange County 3️⃣Day 3: Morning: Jianmen Pass Scenic Area tour (estimated 4 hours) (If traveling with children, we recommend taking the cable car the entire way 🚡) → Return to hotel for rest → After 6:30 PM, visit Three Kingdoms Town (free) (amusement park 🎠 + snacks + shows) 4️⃣Day 4: Hot spring bath ♨️ Play at the water park, then return home 🔚 🍴Food Guide: ➡️ I ate at Huiyi Hot Pot (main branch) in Guangyuan. The food wasn't particularly impressive, but it was crowded, so if you arrive late, you'll have to wait for a table. I highly recommend the buffet, which offers fermented glutinous rice, porridge, Yangzhou fried rice, and jiangshui fried rice. Side dishes are provided free of charge, so the kids will be able to eat their fill. 👍 (You can also find a hot pot restaurant on Xiahe Street; the taste should be similar. The main thing is, you can stroll along the river afterward.) ➡️Zhaohua Ancient City Mahua (Fried Dried Mahua) ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our family loves the crispy and delicious local mashed potatoes. Our family also loves the local mashed potatoes (unassuming but truly delicious, both sweet and savory). ⭐️⭐️⭐️Walnut crispy cakes (good ingredients, though a bit too sweet). ⭐️⭐️ ➡️Turning left from the hotel in Jiange County, about ten minutes away, you'll find Qiangui Night Hot Pot, which is excellent and better than the one in Guangyuan! The barbecue restaurant next door is highly recommended. 👍 The grilled beef and vegetables are grilled over charcoal and are incredibly fragrant! And the hot spring water hot pot at the hotel has a great environment and excellent value! It's also hassle-free. 🏨Accommodation: ➡️In Guangyuan, we stayed at the Tiancheng Hotel. It was clean, had great service, and was in a great location. 👍 It even had a swimming pool, which the kids had a blast! ➡️Stayed at Tianci Hot Springs in Jiange♨️ On the first day, I chose the Tianrui Building (convenient but old, damp, and dark). On the second day, I stayed in the Tianxi Building (blindly chose!! The rooms are clean, bright, and fresh, the dining options are convenient, and the environment is great). 🚥Transportation: Going back and forth by high-speed rail, I took taxis and shared electric scooters 🛵. It was convenient, time-saving, and worry-free, and much more cost-effective than driving! 💕Tips: 1. If you have a baby under 3, it's recommended to bring a stroller. 2. Bring your own swimsuit and swim ring 🛟 3. Check the weather forecast before your trip

Guangyuan Daughter’s Day Guide: Phoenix Flying, Fireworks Like a Dream, this northern Sichuan town has given me so many surprises! A millennium-spanning women-themed cultural journey allowed me to find the most stunning travel experience of 2025 in Guangyuan, a small town in northern Sichuan! I heard there’s a place in Sichuan where all women get a day off on September 1 every year? That’s right! It’s Guangyuan Daughter’s Day! In 2025, this cultural feast with full sensory bombardment of sound, light, and electricity features a drone phoenix spreading its wings, Jialing River phoenix boat races, a Tang Dynasty costume parade, and 40,000 fireworks lighting up the night sky! Trust me, this is definitely the most worthwhile hidden destination to visit in the second half of the year! 🎉 Highlights of Daughter’s Day in my eyes Drone + Fireworks Show: At 8 PM, 2,000 drones gather like fireflies over Nanhe Stadium, using the night sky as a canvas to depict the grandeur of Jianmen Pass and the feminine spirit of the phoenix boat race. The most breathtaking moment is when a phoenix raises its head and spreads its wings, its tail trailing sparks of fireworks, followed by a dazzling display of 40,000 fireworks that moved me to tears instantly! International Phoenix Boat Race: 23 all-female teams cut through the waves on the Jialing River. The flying oars showcase the spirit of resilience, hard work, and courage of modern women. As the birthplace of the only female emperor in history, this cultural identity is the primary attraction for tourists. Intangible Cultural Heritage Folk Parade: Over 600 people form a parade team marching along 2.3 kilometers of Lizhou East Road singing and dancing. My favorite is the golden phoenix float, displaying the majestic power of Empress Wu Zetian, along with the boldness of Ansai waist drums and the joyfulness of Serbian folk dance. 💡 Practical Tips Transportation: It takes only about 1.5 hours by high-speed train from Chengdu to Guangyuan. With a high-speed train ticket and ID, you can enjoy a 30% discount on scenic spot tickets within one week! Accommodation: It’s recommended to book hotels in advance in the city center or around the Jialing River for convenient views and travel. Itinerary: · Morning: Watch the phoenix boat race and feel the heroic spirit of women on the Jialing River · Afternoon: Watch the intangible cultural heritage parade and experience the Tang Dynasty costume time travel (costumes available for rent on site) · Evening: Secure the best spots around Nanhe Stadium to enjoy the drone and fireworks show Food Recommendations: Guangyuan cold noodles, Jianmen tofu feast, and Empress steamed cold noodles are all local specialties! Blogger’s Tip: The crowd is large during the festival, so it’s best to arrive 30 minutes to an hour early to secure good viewing and performance spots; bring a power bank to keep your phone charged—you’ll be taking lots of photos! 💝 My Feelings Tang Qixiu, a 65-year-old local, tearfully said on site, “Guangyuan is a city of progress that makes me feel very happy.” I truly felt this happiness too. Daughter’s Day is not just about performances and competitions; it’s an immersion in culture and emotional resonance. Guangzhou visitor Li Ling’s comment is very honest: “Very shocking, very perfect... Beautiful Guangyuan lives up to its reputation.” 📅 Event Time The 2025 Daughter’s Day runs from August 24 to September 13, but the core activities are concentrated on September 1 and the surrounding weekends. It’s recommended to plan 2-3 days and also visit Jianmen Pass, Huangze Temple, and other attractions.

Transportation Guide: Take the high-speed train from Chengdu East to Jianmen Pass Station. Once you arrive, quickly transfer to the bus—moving fast is key to securing a seat. It's recommended to ascend the mountain via the cableway at the North Gate and descend through the South Gate, as the path is easier to navigate. However, even the easier route involves a full day of hiking and can be quite exhausting. My itinerary was: North Gate → Cableway No. 1 → Fairy Gallery → Bird Path → Glass Viewing Platform → Liangshan Temple → Grand Cave → Shisun Peak → Guan Tower → South Gate, then take a bus back to the high-speed train station. Jianmen Pass is historically significant as Zhuge Liang constructed the Shu Road during the Three Kingdoms period. The Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai vividly described Jianmen Pass in his poem "The Hard Road to Shu": "Jian Pass stands tall and steep; one man guards the pass, ten thousand cannot break through." Liangshan Temple was once the place where Emperor Wu of Liang, Xiao Yan, renounced his throne and practiced Buddhism.

The road to Shu is harder than ascending to the heavens! Reciting is hard, but escaping the ticket fee is harder! Most visitors enter through the North Gate of the scenic area, climbing the Ape Path (additional fee) and the Bird Trail (free with reservation) in sequence. Jianmen Pass lies between the Great Sword and Little Sword Mountains, with towering peaks on either side that stand like sharp blades reaching the sky, resembling a natural gate—hence the name "Jianmen" (Sword Gate). The first pass began taking shape during the Cretaceous period, sculpted by time into the world's rare city-wall-like gravel cliff and Danxia wonder. Amid the shifting tides of the Three Kingdoms era, Zhuge Liang, the Shu Han chancellor, recognized its strategic value and built a fortress here. It swiftly became a critical passage for northern expeditions and a formidable military stronghold. Many famous battles and historical events unfolded here. It was the only land route from Hanzhong into Shu, earning the titles "Shu's Northern Shield" and "Throat of the Two Chuan Regions." During the era of cold weapons, Jianmen Pass's peril deterred invaders—conquering it seemed as impossible as scaling the sky. In the Three Kingdoms period, Jiang Wei, with just 30,000 Shu troops, held off hundreds of thousands of Wei soldiers under General Zhong Hui, showcasing its impregnable terrain. We abandoned the reserved Bird Trail due to rain and one-way restrictions. The natural scenery is breathtaking: the 72 peaks of Great Sword Mountain pierce the clouds like colossal blades, shrouded in mist and ever-changing clouds, resembling an ink-wash painting.
