General presentation
Jiange and the Jianmen Pass
Falaise, ancient Shu Road and fortifications control a spectacular passage to the Sichuan Basin.
To understand what Jiange is and how it is from Jianmen, you must look at Passe de Jianmen, Old Town of Jianzhou and Old Town of Zhaohua. These places give us a view of a territory marked by mountain reliefs, heritage and forests and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
