Tongguan county tourism

Tongguan, located in the port town of Tongguan County, Weinan, in the east of Guanzhong Plain, is one of the famous passes in ancient China. The situation in Tongguan is very dangerous, with Qinling Mountains in the south. There are forbidden valleys in the southeast, and 12 Liancheng in the south of the valley; Weihe River in the north and Luoerchuan will embrace the Yellow River, and it is near Hua Yue in the west. Surrounded by mountains on all sides, the mountains are stacked, the valleys are steep, the mountains are high and the roads are narrow, and Zhongtong has a narrow narrow path that can only accommodate one car and one horse. In the past, people often compared the prosperity of the situation here to "narrow road danger and ape struggle" and "the road between people ends in Tongguan"

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao and Ma Chao fought in Tongguan, and the name of Tongguan began to appear in history. After Du Fu's tour, he also wrote a poem, "A husband should pay attention to the important place, be narrow and allow a bicycle to ride, work hard and be brave." In order to consolidate their dominant position, rulers of past dynasties stationed heavy troops here and set up customs guards. Tongguan has been repaired many times since the Song and Ming Dynasties and is well preserved. There is a gatehouse built in the Ming Dynasty in Ximen, commonly known as the "Bridge House", which is magnificent. The wall of Tongguan City in Ming Dynasty, Tongguan still exists. There is a "first pass" about three miles outside the East Gate of Yadong, the old county of Tongguan, with the Yellow River in the north and the plateau in the south. It is the first level to guard Tongguan. The word "First Pass" at the east gate of the first pass and the word "Golden Steep Terrace" at the west gate of the first pass are inscribed by Qing Ganlong Imperial Pen, which are full of color and integrity. 5 yuan takes a bus from Weinan Bus Station to Tongguan County.
