The reason why the Western Han Expressway is introduced in detail is because this expressway itself is a beautiful scenery. It connects the Yellow River basin and the Yangtze River basin, crosses the Qinling Mountains and leads to Bashan Mountain, enjoying completely different regional scenery, and is a veritable landscape expressway. Especially in March and April, the expressway in Hanzhong passes through the spectacular rape sea, and the scenery is even more intoxicating. Because the scenery of the whole expressway is beautiful, it is recommended to arrange at least one daytime driving during the round trip to enjoy the scenery along the way. You can park in Qinling service area or Ningshan service area along the way, and the parking area of Hanjiang scenic spot between Yangxian and Chenggu is worth parking and taking pictures. The 300-meter-long granite giant group sculpture "Huaxia Long Mai" in Qinling service area has a very high artistic level and cultural connotation.

Introduction to scenic spots: The Xiexie Road, which starts from Baocheng in Hanzhong in the south and ends at Xieyuguan in Guanzhong in the north, is the most important passage connecting Guanzhong and Hanzhong in ancient times.

Chu and Han contended, and Liu Bang adopted Han Xin's strategy. This is what the "plank road" in "Ming Xiu Plank Road, Dark Crossing Chen Cang" refers to; When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent tens of thousands of people to praise the inclined waterway, in order to make the water express, it failed; During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang made the fifth Northern Expedition, which exposed the Qinling Mountains and divided his troops into fields in the oblique water.
