In ancient times, there was such a place in Dali, where literati and literati left more calligraphy treasures than other scenery in Cangshan and Erhai. But now, because the hiding is too secret, it seems that it has been slowly forgotten by the world.

What kind of secret realm is this? How much can it be hidden?

Broken walls and stone doors open, and Hongmeng heaven and earth are set up.

The water in the valley should be quiet, and the clouds in the cave are filled with air.

Thousands of ridges surround Xiongguan, and thousands of sides hide snow.

Cang Feng looked into the sky, exploring the strange path of the sky.

--Excerpts from (Qing Tian Kun)

For the sake of love for Shimen Pass, the road home has been tilted;

I heard dogs barking across the river, and two or three houses lit up.

--Excerpts from (Yang Sheng 'an, Ming Dynasty)

Two pieces of green hibiscus stand side by side, facing each other,

Inside it, the mountains are stacked and the clouds appear, making people leap.

--Excerpted from (Ming·Xu Xiake's "Shimen Pass Travel")

......

Ancient literati and literati have long embedded the name of this secret realm into immortal works between the lines. It is,

Shimen Pass is the deepest wound in Cangshan. The cliffs in the valley confront each other, peeping inside from the outside of the canyon, like two giant doors that were pushed open running through the entire mountain range, so Shimen Pass is also called the "Gate of Cangshan".

Today, Shimenguan integrates the "majestic, dangerous, strange, beautiful and secluded" natural landscapes as well as unique historical culture, ethnic customs, living customs and other cultural landscapes. It is a Cangshan World Geopark, a national scenic spot, and a national nature reserve. An important part of the area.

In fact, Shimen Pass in Cangshan Mountain, Yangbi, Dali, has long been a national 4A-level scenic spot. But in Xiao Bian's opinion, this should be the 4A-level scenic spot with the fewest number of people in my great country, because it seems that not many people know such a secret place.

Shimenguan is 24 kilometers away from Dali City. It is surrounded by clouds and rich in vegetation all year round. At the entrance of the Shimenguan Valley, a mountain spring pours down from the pass, passing through gravel and rock masses. A small depression will be formed in a slightly flat place. The water is so clear that it turns green. After a few drinks, it feels sweet and clear.

The canyon is deep and deep, and there are landscapes carved by ghosts and gods everywhere. The cliffs are clear and flowing waterfalls, rushing down from a height of 100 meters, with a magnificent momentum.

At present, high-altitude (glass) plank roads have been built on the cliffs of the entire scenic spot based on natural terrain conditions. Walking on it is like walking through the clouds. Shocking landscapes such as the late bell of the Fuguo Kingdom, the clear valley, the orchids in the cliff stream, the sunset guests forget to return, the jade pond splashed on the jade, the thousands of books of books, the jade emperor surging green, etc. will appear one by one in front of your eyes.

Same place, same scene... It's just that this beautiful woman's actions in the camera are a little funny. So, timid friends, please think.

Come and experience the magical feeling of standing on a rainbow.

Or enjoy the thrills of a rock climbing.

Here, people look at the clouds on Cangshan as they look at the smoke on their roofs. If you stood in the valley and looked up at the sky, you would definitely have a different feeling.

If you encounter a season full of white fog, a psychedelic picture of "people on the road, roads in valleys, valleys in clouds, clouds in trees" will appear alive in front of your eyes.

When early summer comes, everything you see is green and shade is scattered everywhere. The ancient trees are green, the sun is green, the song of birds is green, the gurgling water is green, and the mountain wind is also green. Coupled with the countless waterfalls scattered in it, this place has become a natural air-conditioned room. Imagine how great it would be to plunge into such an eye-catching and cool world on a hot summer day.

In addition to the amazing natural scenery and natural carvings of nature, there are also ancient cliff paintings more than 3,000 years ago in the valley. This is the group of ancient cliff paintings with the largest number of patterns and the largest area found in Yunnan. Research has shown that some murals can be traced back to the lives of Chinese ancestors in the Neolithic Era. Isn't it amazing?

As early as the Tang Dynasty, Shimen Pass was a holy land for all military strategists to fight for. I wonder how many people still remember the "Battle of Tianbao" of the Tang Dynasty. That fierce battle began and ended here. Nowadays, although we have no longer seen the fierce confrontation of those days, the tragic scene of that battle seems to have long been integrated into the rock walls on both sides.

The stone door is not a lock, but it locks the literati and literati at a close distance; the heart door is not a door, but it is also between opening and closing, making people feel like a world has passed away, leaving only things and people in the vicissitudes of the world. Nowadays, more and more hikers are coming from all over the world. They all want to enter it as soon as possible, appreciate the scenic scenery of Tianmen Pass, and experience the humanistic history of ancient Chinese ancestors. In ancient times, literati and literati stopped in a square spot in the valley, leaving behind the emotion that "it is better to meet than not meet, and it will only be a lifelong regret." Now, do you really want to continue this regret?

"Walking on Shimen makes you happy to be a traveler in Guanzhong." Come on, let's explore this hidden realm together.
