The reputation spreads far with the charm of Pingxiang, witnessing the historic Friendship Pass, on the fifty-fifth day of the Drive Around China
May 8, 2023, the fifty-fifth day of the Drive Around China, from Dongxing, Guangxi to Pingxiang, Guangxi. The winding mountain roads of G219 and the typical karst topography unfold before you. Passing through the thrilling Ma'anshan Pass, with its 28 'arm-bending turns' and 17 'hairpin bends', completing this section makes even seasoned drivers feel it's worth it!
Pingxiang, as a small border town, has developed its unique local cuisine. Pingxiang Food Street, adjacent to the Pingxiang Bus Station, holds a huge 'traffic secret'. As night falls, this place welcomes its unique moments. On the food street, you can taste a variety of Vietnamese cuisine. These delicacies are sure to bring you a taste bud delight. Unfortunately, too tired and wanting to rest early, I did not taste them.
Guangxi Friendship Pass, like a giant of history, stands on the China-Vietnam border. This pass has witnessed not only the smoke of war but also the dawn of peace. The gate tower is about 22 meters high with a central round arch, very majestic. On either side of the gate tower are walls, like a giant python connecting two mountains, with an imposing presence. Standing atop the gate tower, you can see the connected landscapes of China and Vietnam. Ticket price: 42 yuan, extremely low cost-performance ratio, painfully checked in.
Pingxiang, a picturesque city where culture blends with the exotic. Here you have the rippling Zuo River, the lush green mountains, and the pleasant climate of eternal spring. Here, you can fully appreciate the natural wonders and infinite charm, allowing your soul to relax and enjoy completely.
The building is magnificent, the boarding is closed, the view is wide, the main building of the signing peace agreement is exquisite and atmospheric, and the fortress of the heavy town of southern Xinjiang is felt. We are very proud to have the flag closed.
It is highly recommended to come and witness the historical attractions. Pingxiang Friendship Pass is China's top ten famous gates, Shanhai, Shaoguan, Jiahe, Juyong, Friendship, Shaomen, Bauhinia, Lady, Wusheng, Jianmen, and now only Friendship Pass is still playing a customs clearance role. In 111 BC, the Han Wu Emperor established the Jiguan, also known as Dananguan and Jieshouguan. Ming Hongwu Yuan year (1368) was named Jilingguan. Yongle five years (1405) changed its name to Zhenyiguan; Xuande Nian (1428) changed its name to Nanguan; in 1953 it was renamed Mu Nanguan, and in 1965 it was officially named "Friendship Guan". Picture 1: The three characters of Laoguanlou "Friendship Pass" are inscriptions by Marshal Chen Yi. Picture 4: The end of National Highway 322 and the starting point of Highway 1 of Vietnam. Picture 5: General Feng Zicai, the anti-French general. In the eleven years of Guangxu, Feng Zicai led the army to defeat the French army in this invasion. History called "Zhennanguan Grand Jie". Picture 6: Vietnam Port.
The scenic spot is well-known in China and abroad. When climbing the mountain on the left, you must first take the driveway to the top of the mountain, visit the ancient fort, the site of the Liancheng competition..., and then pick up the level and go down to the Friendship Guanguan Building, which will save effort. The steps on the right mountain are higher and harder to climb. If the physical strength is not good or there is not enough drinking water, it is recommended to give up.
