Micang Ancient Road
米仓道
One of the thousand-year-old Shu Roads linking Hanzhong and Shu. Legend says that Xiao He chased Han Xin under the moon along the Hanxi River.
The Micang Road was an important ancient Shu Road linking the Hanzhong Basin with the Sichuan Basin. It crosses the Micang Mountains and is counted among the three great Shu Roads, together with the Jinniu Road and the Lizhi Road. Around Guangwu Mountain Town, the Hanxi River and the Jiexian Post Station are traditionally said to be where Xiao He chased Han Xin under the moonlight. Stone-paved sections, passes, and cliff inscriptions still survive along the route. You can combine it with a visit to the Taoyuan Scenic Area and hike the Hanxi Valley section to experience the old road. Some parts of the route are rural roads, so check trail conditions with locals before setting out.
