ABOUT THIS TICKET

Overview

Jianmen Pass is located in the middle section of Dajian Mountain, a spur of the Longmen Mountains, in Jiange County, Guangyuan City, Sichuan Province. It sits in a narrow gorge between Yingpanzui Peak to the east and Jincheng Mountain to the west, and served as a vital strategic pass along the ancient Jinniu Road, also known as the Shiniu Road, of the Ancient Shu Road.

The Jianmenguan National Forest Park was established in 1992, and in July 2015 the Guangyuan Jianmen Shu Road – Jianmenguan Tourist Area was awarded National AAAAA-level Tourist Attraction status.
