Jinniu Ancient Trail, this secret realm sealed by history, where you can see those huge ancient cypress trees

📣 👣Walking along an ancient trail, on both sides are ancient cypress trees planted two thousand years ago, underfoot are bluestone slabs laid during the Qin Dynasty, and with every step, it seems as if you can hear the echoes of history. 🚶‍♂️🌳 🏰Jinniu Ancient Trail, this secret realm sealed by history, is the best-preserved section of the ancient 'courier roads'. It witnessed the glory of the Qin Dynasty, the strife of the Three Kingdoms, and is a true historical corridor. 🏰✨ 🌳Walking on this ancient trail, you can see those huge ancient cypress trees, which are not only natural wonders but also witnesses to history. It is said that some of these ancient trees were personally planted by the famous general Zhang Fei during the Three Kingdoms period, and are known as 'Zhang Fei Cypress'. 🌳💪 🏞️Along the way, the weathered horse-blocking walls, clear anti-slip paths, horse-drinking troughs, ancient bridges, and steles are still well preserved, as if telling ancient stories. 🏞️📖🛤️The hiking route of Jinniu Ancient Trail is long, but don't worry, you can choose from three ancient trails that start from Pu'an (ancient Jianzhou/Jiangge old county town), north to Zhaohua ancient city, west to Mianyang Zitong County, and south to Langzhong ancient city, which are the best-preserved parts. 🛤️🏰👟Whether you are a hiking novice or an experienced traveler, you can find a route that suits you here. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦One of the routes: 'Horse-blocking wall—Pu'an' is of moderate difficulty, and you can almost see the most quintessential scenery of the ancient trail, and it's completely free, very suitable for the whole family to participate.👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🎒 🚗🚌Transportation Guide 📍If you choose to drive, navigate to 'Liangshan Township Horse-blocking Wall', where there is a parking lot, and the trail entrance is right next to it. 🚌If you choose public transportation, you can take it from Pu'an county town, about every 40 minutes, and the ticket is only 5 yuan.🚗🚌 👟There are two ways to hike: 🛤️One is the through route, from 'Horse-blocking Wall' to Pu'an county town, about 10 kilometers in total; 👣The other is the return route, from the Horse-blocking Wall to Qingliangpu and back, about 4 kilometers one way, which is the most quintessential part. 👟🛤️🌿The latter half to Pu'an, although there are fewer ancient cypress trees, the scenery is still charming: the mountains and fields in summer are lush with greenery, and the chirping of birds and cicadas weave into a symphony of nature. 🎵The hike is not difficult, with little climbing, allowing you to enjoy the dual gifts of nature and history in a relaxed and pleasant way.🌿🎵
