Today's itinerary is from Mingshi Pastoral to Youyiguan. The journey is about 125 kilometers, without high-speed, it takes about 3.5 hours.

The Friendship Pass, located in Pingxiang City, Guangxi Autonomous Region, was established in the Han Dynasty. It has been destroyed and rebuilt for more than 2,000 years. It is the only one of the nine famous customs in China that continues to be used for border trade transactions between China and ASEAN countries. Known as the "South Gate of China". The name "Friendship Pass" was written by Marshal Chen Yi himself. The entire pass is majestic and magnificent. It is a major tourist attraction in Guangxi.

The only victory in the Sino-French War in the late Qing Dynasty against foreign invasions in the modern history of China-the "Zhennanguan Victory" and the "Zhennanguan Uprising" personally led and directed by Mr. Sun Yat-sen took place here. The ancient and famous trees and rich and rare natural vegetation in the scenic area are all over the valley, and the forest coverage rate reaches over 85%.

As a national first-class port, Friendship Pass has been an important commercial port since ancient times. The Friendship Pass is the largest and most convenient land route from China to Vietnam and Southeast Asian countries.

The journey was not long today, so I slept in. Get up and take a look at the pastoral scenery of Mingshi.

Mingshi Garden is a passing spot, and you can actually see the beautiful scenery without taking a boat. Friends who have gone to travel specifically can take a ride on a bamboo raft. You don't need to book tickets online, you can buy them at the farmhouse. After the discount of scenic spots + bamboo rafts, you only need 100 yuan.

There is a Longtou Mountain next to Mingshi Bridge. The door is usually locked, and there is a phone next to it. You can call "Grandma Farmer" and you can go up to see the panoramic view of Mingshi Pastoral for 20 yuan/person.

This is from standing on the top of the mountain, but the weather is not so good.

Leaving Mingshi Garden and heading towards Youyiguan, you can see the wonders similar to the Tiansheng Bridge (hole).

Passing by Longzhou County, the barbecued pork rice was really delicious, and I never had such a delicious barbecued pork on the next trip.

According to the navigation, there is a village road in the middle

I saw many trees like this on the road. Could it be that the skins are all gone?

The highway from Pingxiang City to Youyiguan is free

322 National Road End

Inside the Friendship Pass, there is a French-style building with a Daqing Post Office, which sells postcards.

Zhennanguan

Starting from the Friendship Pass, you can board the Jinjishan Fort. We have visited the Friendship Pass at 4:30. See the introduction below. It takes 40 minutes for people who exercise regularly to board the fort... and the security guard said five o’clock. The door is about to close halfway up.

Come on

Looking at the mountain and sighing, it's too steep and too high

At 17:22, finally boarded the front gate, this is the gate, which will close soon.

I really can't walk

Krupp cannon imported from Germany

The Krupp family has always been the pillar of German militarism and has been favored by the highest authority of the country. It is the tradition of this family to observe time, obey discipline, and execute orders. The founder of the Krupp family was called Alfred Krupp (1812-1886). His cannon made Bismarck defeated Austria and France in the middle of the 19th century. This is the famous Krupp cannon. Krupp cannon, 280 mm in caliber. The barrel is 11.2 meters long and weighs 44 tons. It has an elevation angle of up to 30 degrees and an effective range of 19,760 meters. The shell can penetrate 65.8mm steel plates within 3000 meters, and can fire 1-2 shells per minute.

As soon as I saw the fort, a soldier came over and called us down the mountain.

Look, after climbing so high, I have to go down... The doll is really tired. When I go down, I count the stairs with her. I am interested, and finally count down, there are a total of about 850 steps.
