    "The scenery is magnificent and the scenery is a spectacle, it is worth a visit. The tour route of the scenic spot is generally reasonable, but it should be explained at the entrance of the scenic spot that Shiqi Peak to Liangshan Pavilion is a one-way trip during the holiday. We and many tourists went down from Liangshan Pavilion and missed the opportunity to get close to Shiqi Peak."

    "When I came to Guangyuan during the holiday, I came here in the first place. The scenic spot is not very big, but the Buddha statue sculpture inside is still very good. The grotto faces the Jialing River and climbs the stairs to see the grotto. It is not very friendly to people who are afraid of heights."

    "I didn't do much homework before, and I always thought that Huangze Temple was the only female emperor Wu Zetian's temple. I didn't expect that the temple still preserved the 6 caves, 41 squats, 1203 body cliff statues and their monuments carved from the Northern Wei Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Today is really eye-opening and full of harvest. Recommended index five stars"

    Highlights: Mingyue Gorge was formed by Jialing River breaking through the mountains. It can be called the throat of the ancient Sichuan Road. It forms the only passage connecting the north and the south. The terrain is terrain but it offers views of the breathtaking natural environment. The valley is full of strange peaks and stones in this particularly peculiar natural landscape. Mingyue Gorge was originally called Chaotian Gorge. Later, the literati of the Ming and Qing dynasties changed the name to Mingyue Gorge. Then it was dubbed as the “Transportation Museum of China”. When walking down the plank road of this scenic spot, it is fascinating to personally see the dangers posed by the ancient Sichuan Road mixed interestingly with the magnificent beauty of Jialing River.
