Jianmen! Jianmen!!

With a vast land of beautiful scenery, a lone rider guards Jianmen Pass! The fact that it has "never been breached from the front" is enough to make me want to visit Jianmen Pass. Add to that the saying "The road to Shu is harder than climbing to the sky," and I was even more excited. In October 2024, we finally made it to Jianmen Pass! 1. Recite the entire "The Road to Shu is Hard" and you can get in for free! 2. It's more convenient to stay in town, and the accommodation is better. It's not far, less than 10 km. 3. We entered through the North Gate, took Cableway 1, Bird Road, the mountain road, Jianmen Tower, and exited through the South Gate. We took our time, and it took about 7 hours. 4. There are buses from the South Gate back to the North Gate. 5. Bird Road is less than 1 km long, but there are many places where you have to use both hands and feet, pulling yourself up with the chains. 6. Our hotel had a massage chair, which was a must after climbing the mountain.
