In the past, Luisito has unveiled the mysteries of many forbidden places to us, and today, I will lead you into an even more mysterious place, which was once a place that no one has set foot on for thousands of years.
Since the beginning of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, this place has been strictly blocked by the feudal dynasty. Once anyone enters without authorization, they will be severely punished. It was not until the New Deal in the late Qing Dynasty that this ban was relaxed.
Ordinary forbidden areas are closed for only a few months or a few years, either for repairs or protection, but this mountain has been isolated from the world for thousands of years.
This once “human forbidden area” was the Tongbo Mountain hidden in Shangrao, Jiangxi.
When talking about the reason for the closure of the mountain, we have to mention a legend that has been passed down through the ages.
Tongbo Mountain is located at the intersection of the three provinces of Jiangxi, Fujian and Zhejiang, and its geographical location is extremely sensitive.
In the past, Huang Chao led an army from Shandong to Jiangxi and conquered fifteen states, shocking the Tang Dynasty.
When the army arrived at Tongbo Mountain, Huang Chao was filled with indignation when he heard that the local magistrate was robbing civilian girls, so he came to the rescue and rescued the daughter of Ye’s hunter in the mountain.
In order to repay this favor, Ye’s Orion relied on his familiarity with the mountains to help Huang Chao’s army hide in the depths of Tongbo Mountain.
Tongbo Mountain has high mountains and dense forests, and the terrain is complex, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. The imperial court failed several times to encircle and suppress the mountain, and finally had no choice but to order the mountain to be closed. At the foot of the mountain, a stone was set up as a boundary, with an inscription on it: Those who trespass will be executed immediately.
Since then, in order to prevent others from imitating Huang Chao, the mountain has been banned since the Tang Dynasty. It was not until the fall of the Qing Dynasty that Tongbo Mountain was able to see the light of day again.
For thousands of years, this place has been inaccessible, like a paradise.
Looking at it today, this thousand-year ban may be a blessing to Tongbo Mountain.
No one has set foot there, so there is no damage. The most primitive natural features are preserved here, with fresh air and water as clear as a mirror.
Although it is not a famous mountain, its unique “wild” nature has attracted countless tourists to explore its secrets.
The mountains and rivers are intertwined and the countryside is picturesque. This is the most poetic and picturesque place in China, which makes people linger and yearn for it.
Every tourist who sets foot here is amazed: It turns out that Shangrao hides so many unique beautiful scenery.
It not only has beautiful scenery, but also has pastoral charm. It is indeed a heart-stirring tourist attraction.

The scenery of the mountains and water blends with the ancient houses, forming a A peaceful and harmonious picture of “small bridges and flowing water with people’s houses”.

Xiaoqi is actually the collective name of the two villages Shangxiaoqi and Xiaxiaoqi. Because the two villages are connected by an ancient Huihang Road, they are classified as a scenic spot.
