Cuiyun Corridor (Ancient Cypress Road)
翠云廊
Lines of thousand-year-old ancient cypresses along the old Shu Road in Jiange. Said to be '300 li of road and 100,000 trees,' this is the most iconic scenery of the Shu Road.
The Cuiyun Corridor is a row of ancient cypresses along the old Golden Ox Road, centered on Jiange. Legend says they were first planted in the Qin and Han dynasties, and they were widely replanted in the Ming dynasty. Several thousand old cypresses survive, many more than a thousand years old, including famous trees such as the Zhang Fei Cypress and the Shuaida Cypress. The main visitor section is the Cuiyun Corridor scenic area north of Jiange county seat, where a stone-paved ancient road winds between towering cypresses. A walk takes 1 to 2 hours. Ticket prices are announced on site. You can combine a visit with Jianmen Pass on the same day, about half an hour's drive apart.
