Shimen Catwalk Scenic Area 💕
I’ve traveled to Shimen catwalk scenic area in city Hanzhong in spring, pretty good season for being here. 🌸 The area is big and landscape is so beautiful. 💖 So many wonderful stone sculptures and exquisite figurines of people displayed behind the glass along the way. Nice spots for amazing pictures. We needed about 2 hours to fully explore this place. Loved it. Recommended to visit!

Shimen Dam, also called Shimen Reservoir is strategically important place for the Hanzhong city. That was my first time to come and see the Dam. It was very interesting to got to know how does it function. And area surrounding the Dam is admirable. Very good for taking pictures and for long distance walking. Not overcrowded. Fresh humid air makes the walking and climbing really pleasant.

Shimen Plank Road Travel Guide
The Shimen Plank Road, which I haven't set foot on for many years, remains in my memory during that vibrant school age. Now revisiting it, it's completely different, as if I'm in a whole new world. Shimen Mountain, still charming, seems like a huge stone breaking out of the water, rushing straight into the sky. Between the mountains and rocks, the woods are lush, and a winding plank road runs through it, which is fascinating.
I chose a special tour route, walking all the way. Starting from the ticket inspection entrance at half past two, after a long pedestrian street, I finally reached the ticket office. After checking the ticket, I walked leisurely, appreciating the various cultural elements of the Three Kingdoms and historical allusions along the way. For friends who can't walk too much, you can choose a convenient small train to shuttle back and forth in the scenic area.
After passing Cui Ping Xi Zhao, the real challenge has just begun. The mountains are undulating, the river is gurgling, and the great rivers and mountains of the country are unobstructed here. Although climbing the mountain is a bit hard, when you hear the bell echoing in the valley, it means that you have come to the entrance of the plank road, and there will be a flat land waiting for you to explore.
We chose to turn back at the beautiful Tianxin Bridge waterfall. Although it is not far from Yingzui Pavilion, because today's exercise has exceeded expectations, we choose to be satisfied with the beauty in front of us. On the way back, we chose to return the same way, those zodiac sculptures and historical allusions that have been polished by the years are worth our careful taste.
Tips: Wear comfortable shoes, because some sections may be a bit slippery. Tickets are 70 yuan each, Nongfu Spring is 2 yuan a bottle, and Bingfeng is 5 yuan a bottle. If you want to experience the thrill of ziplining across the river, the price of 50 yuan is quite reasonable.
As the second choice for foreign tourists, Shimen Plank Road is definitely worth a visit. The staff here are doing their best to serve every tourist, making people feel their enthusiasm and professionalism. While enjoying the beautiful scenery, don't forget to taste the delicious dishes of the nearby fish farm, which will definitely satisfy your appetite!
Finally, remind everyone that when you come here, you might as well calm down and slowly taste the mountains and rivers here, and give your soul a small vacation.

The Shimen Plank Road has both the rich historical and cultural heritage of the two Han and Three Kingdoms, as well as many unique and beautiful natural scenery. The mountains here are steep, strange rocks and green peaks. The completion of the
Shimen Reservoir is even more icing on the cake
Ling_See__World.
"It is difficult to get through the road, it is difficult to go to the sky." The
Shimen Plane Road is built along the cliffs of the cliffs. It runs from the Hanzhong Valley in the south and goes to the Meiguan County in the north. It is one of the earliest artificial traffic tunnels in the world. Walking through the Shimen Plank Road, the mountain is steep and strange, and I have to sigh with its shock.
YIYI NOTES.
From the west gate, you will feel all kinds of three countries, two Han, historical story galleries and various statues. If you are interested in history, it must be a good place. The real scenery is in the Shimen Reservoir (the intersection of the upper and lower roads, where you can make a yacht nearby, and look at the scenery on the lake. You can see the lake and the mountains along the way, but go back to the end to return from Shimen Reservoir To the east gate of the next road, there is a high point of the dragon and tiger pavilion, which can enjoy the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Weihe River.
