The Three Gorges has beautiful scenery and rich cultural atmosphere, leaving many natural and cultural landscapes. There are three "mysteries of the Three Gorges" in the Three Gorges: hanging coffins, savages, and plank roads, which add to its mystery. We all know that in ancient times, "the road to Shu was difficult". The ancestors built a unique transportation road between the ravines and cliffs - the plank road for diplomatic relaxation. These ancient plank roads can't help but make us marvel at the wisdom and courage of the ancients, and we also want to see the elegance of the ancient plank roads. Where is the Three Gorges Ancient Plank Road? Ancient plank roads include roads, stone bridges, iron chains, stone fences, etc. They are tens of meters above the water. The ancestors of Bashu built plank roads. From the Warring States to the late Qing Dynasty, they built a large number of plank roads in northern and eastern Sichuan. The plank roads in eastern Sichuan are mainly in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River and the Small Three Gorges of the Daning River. The famous ancient plank road sites in the Three Gorges area include: Mengliang Ladder, Qutang Plank Road, Daning River Plank Road, etc. The Three Gorges Ancient Plank Road in a narrow sense refers to the Zhuangyuan Duishan, about 10 kilometers long, from the Qutang Gorge section on the east bank of the Caotang River estuary in Fengjie County to the other side of the Daxi River in Wushan County. The Wu Gorge section starts from the opposite bank of Wushan County and ends at the Qinglian River at the junction of Sichuan and Hubei, with a total length of 30 kilometers. The rest are scattered in Xiling Gorge. After the Three Gorges Project impounded water, many ancient plank roads fell asleep in the river. Some of the plank roads can still be walked, especially during the dry season, and some will see the light of day again.

The Mengliang Ladder is a famous attraction in Qutang Gorge. Attached is the legend of the famous Song Dynasty general Yang Ye and his good general Meng Liang, which is deeply touching and legendary. In fact, in the late Southern Song Dynasty, the transportation plank road from Qutang Gorge to Yangricheng was excavated to meet the needs of the anti-Yuan struggle. The Qutang Gorge Plank Road is located on the cliff of the north bank of the canyon. It is a grooved stone plank road. The plank road connects Qutang Gorge and Baiguobei, with a total length of 1,250 meters. The Daning River Plank Road starts from Ningchang Town in Wuxi County and ends at Longmen Gorge in Wushan County. It is built on a rock wall about 30 meters high along the low water surface of the Daning River, with a total length of more than 100 kilometers. Founded in the Han and Jin Dynasties, it is the largest ancient plank road relic discovered so far. The Daning River Ancient Plank Road played an important role in military history. It is said that Zhuge Liang attacked Wei and stationed troops at the gate of the city. The army once passed through the Yuanhe Plank Road. In the first year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army set up 13 passes along the Daning River in Dachang, Wushan, to guard against rebels. Later, Zhang's rebels burned the plank road during the battle. Since then, the only remaining ruins of the Daning River plank road have been silently lined up on the cliffs of Bashan and Shu River. As the water level in the Three Gorges Reservoir area rises, the original plank road ruins of the Little Three Gorges on the Daning River are also hidden deep in the water and become underwater ruins.
