On the morning of 20021August 15, my friends and I went to Pucheng County and went straight to Qiaoling Scenic Area here. Affected by the epidemic, the scenic spot is not open to the public and cannot be visited. So, outside the wall on the east side of the scenic spot, I operated my own drone to take aerial photos of the Shinto and Shanling of Qiaoling, and I got a panoramic view of the stone carvings on the Shinto and the surrounding scenery.
After the drone rises, it first flies to the southern end of Shinto and overlooks the whole picture of Qiaoling to the north. The Shen Dao here is about 625m long and110m wide, which is magnificent. From Rutai at the southern end of Shinto to the north, there are 38 tall stone carvings symmetrically distributed on both sides, including huabiao, corners, ostrich, war horse and Weng Zhong. Known as the "open-air museum of stone carving art in the prosperous Tang Dynasty".
The drone flew north along the Shinto to the high mountain peak. At the end of the northern end of Shinto, there is a symmetrical rammed earth Quetai site, with Zhuquemen (Nanshenmen) site in the middle and a beautiful stone lion sitting on both sides. The north side of Zhuquemen is the core area of Qiaoling, where important sacrificial buildings, such as temples and bedrooms, once stood. Today, there are no obvious remains on the ground.
The drone flew over Zhuquemen, continued northward and reached the foot of the mountain. Here is a stone tablet inscribed by Bi Yuan, governor of Shaanxi Province during the reign of Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty, with the words "Tang Ruizong Qiaoling" engraved on it. Usually tourists visit Qiaoling, and it's over here; But tourists who are still wanting more will climb to the top of the main peak of Qiaoling along the back street path and overlook the magnificent scenery around. It is said that you can still see the entrance to the underground palace on the hillside.
Historically, Fengshan was also called "Jinzhishan" and "Jinsushan". The mountain is 75 1 m above sea level, and three peaks in the west form a barrier. The mountains in the north are undulating and winding, and the endless plains in the south face the majestic Qinling Mountains. 1963, archaeologists tried to dig the bridge tomb passage on the hillside on the east slope of the main peak. The pyramid-shaped mound is covered with stone strips, which are numbered and arranged in thousands of words. It can be seen that the underground palace has not been opened and Qiaoling has not been stolen.
