Hubei Pass

　　Hubei Pass is situated at the junction of Maoping Hui Ethnic Town and Sisikou Town in Hubei Province, at an elevation of 1,265 meters. It is a well-known mountain pass on the Shaanxi-Hubei border. Nestled within a valley surrounded by expansive plains, two towering mountains face each other like a grand gateway, with an ancient pathway winding through the pass. Historically, this was a strategic military stronghold. In the past, a stone wall over 700 meters long stood here, bearing witness to a turbulent history of battles. Today, the gate has been rebuilt, and there are now the Qin Pavilion and Chu Pavilion. People from both Hubei and Shaanxi frequently cross the pass, blending their customs and cultures. Climbing up to reflect on the past, one can experience the charm of the Qin and Chu states, and gaze upon the unique historical landscapes inside and outside the pass.
