What are the scenic spots in Tongchuan Jinsuo Pass? Is Jinsuo Pass Stone Forest in Tongchuan fun?

Jinsuo Pass is a famous ancient pass in the north of Guanzhong, which is located in the south of Sanguankou, about 20 kilometers north of Tongchuan, and north of Shenshui Gorge. The mountains on both sides of Jinsuo Pass are steep, the roads are rugged and dangerous, and the situation is extremely dangerous. There is a saying that "the golden lock has no cushion, and the eagle can't fly." Since ancient times, Jinsuo Pass has played a very important role in military and transportation. Jinsuo Pass is now a pearl on the tourist route from Xi to Huangling and Yan 'an.

In the third year of Jian Yan in the Southern Song Dynasty (A.D. 1 129), Jin Bing returned to the east, and Wang Shu, who was in charge of the history of Yan Lu, ordered Liu Yanliang to station troops in Shenshui Gorge to prevent Jin Bing from returning home. This is where Liu Yanliang stationed his troops. Jinsuo Pass Guancheng was founded in the thirty-second year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1553), and was captured by Eight Kings, the leader of the peasant uprising army, in the sixth year of Chongzhen (A.D. 1633). In the 16th year of Qing Emperor Kangxi (AD 1678), the garrison moved to Jieyao Prefecture, and Guancheng was destroyed.

Walking into the Stone Forest in Jinsuo Pass, I walked through it, but I was surprised that the stones stood tall, and the stone peaks, pillars, stalagmites and stone buds rose in different postures. Among the wall bees in Shilin, green vines hang stones, golden bamboos stand upright, mountain flowers bloom, birds sing and are full of vitality. This is a forest made of stones and a museum of grotesque sculptures.
