Zhuge Liang (Marquis Zhongwu) is one of the most intelligent people in history and the key figure in the establishment of the Shu Han dynasty.
For over 1000 years, he has been highly respected by society.

It's pretty good. It's meaningful to come all the way to see Mr. Kong Ming.
Death before success always makes heroes cry.
But to be honest, the Cold Weapon Museum is a bit small.
Alas, Prime Minister Zhuge. Alas, Mr. Kong Ming.

Only die-hard fans of the Three Kingdoms would think to come to this place, right? I sent the Prime Minister some modern-day "instant-heating rice," wishing him success in his Northern Expedition in another time and space.

The scenic spot of "Mingxiu Plank Road, Andu Chencang" features a cliffside plank road overlooking clear water, with stunning scenery of the Baohe River, high gorges, and calm lake. The cliff carvings are rich in history, and Cao Cao's original calligraphy is magnificent. You can also take a boat to enjoy the lake and mountain scenery. It has a strong sense of blending the ancient and the modern. It has both the beauty of natural landscape and the historical weight of the Qin, Han and Three Kingdoms period. Hiking on the plank road can give you a taste of the hardships that ancient people faced. Spring and autumn are the best seasons for sightseeing.

I'm in Xi'an, which is relatively close to Hanzhong, but this was my first time visiting Xinghan Scenic Area in Hanzhong. Overall, I felt it was quite nice; it was grand, magnificent, beautiful, and full of interesting sights. However, since it wasn't a holiday, it felt a bit deserted. The newly built food and beverage area was particularly quiet. I suggest that such scenic spots should be open both day and night.

During the National Day holiday, it was very crowded, but the tour guides were very professional and took us to see everything! It's very convenient to get to the Terracotta Warriors from Xi'an now. I recommend taking the Xi'an Metro Line 9 to the end and then taking a taxi for about 10 yuan. I also recommend staying at a nearby guesthouse so you can go to the museum early in the morning.
