American writer's 24th visit to ancient Sichuan road

00:55

On Friday, Hope Justman, an 81-year-old American, traveled to Jianmen Shu Road in Jiange County, Guangyuan City, Sichuan Province, for the 24th time. Since 2001, she has traveled to China to journey along this ancient road and has spent the last five years writing the "Guide to Hiking China's Old Road to Shu".

Jianmen Shu Road is an ancient road with a strategic significance in Chinese history. It connects the central plain, Guanzhong, with the almost inaccessible Sichuan Basin. For more than 2,000 years, many well-known stories about the path have been passed down, especially during the Three Kingdoms period. Today, it's a famous route for hiking and sightseeing.
