Guangyuan travel guide

Guangyuan, situated in northern Sichuan at the junction of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces, uniquely claims fame as the birthplace of China's only female emperor, Wu Zetian. This important historical corridor also witnessed pivotal Three Kingdoms events.

Abundant natural wonders and cultural treasures make Guangyuan a top destination. Huangze Temple venerates Empress Wu. Qianfoya "Thousand Buddha Cliffs" represent centuries of stone carving mastery. The Shu Road passes through Guangyuan's core. Don't miss Yumenguan "First Pass Under Heaven", Cuiyun Gallery's "100 li of 10,000 trees", and perilously high ancient plank walkways along sheer cliffs - all fully showcasing this historically and culturally significant city.
