Zheling is located in the middle of the Wulong Mountains, which is the watershed of Poyang Lake and Qiantang River, with an altitude of 1,116 meters, and is one of the four sources of Xin'an River. Zheling is located in the boundary between Wu and Chu, and there is still a stone tablet of "Wu and Chu Branch" on the ancient road. Zheling Ancient Road, from Zhangqian Village in Banqiao Township, Xiuning County in the north, to Lingjiao Village in Zheyuan Township, Wuyuan County in the south, with a length of about 20 kilometers, is named Zheling Ancient Road because it crosses Zheling. This ancient road was the main road connecting Xiuning County and Wuyuan County in Huizhou in the past, and in 1934 Wuyuan was placed under the jurisdiction of Raozhou, Jiangxi. Therefore, this ancient road in Huizhou in the past was renamed Huirao Ancient Road.
Huirao Ancient Road was built in the Tang Dynasty, the government and local Huizhou merchants have been repaired many times, this ancient road is the "national highway" in ancient times, giving people the most intuitive feeling is wide. The most obvious difference from other ancient roads is that Huirao Ancient Road has certain width requirements, and most of the pavements are paved with 1Stone steps from 5 meters to 2 meters wide. I think this specification should have been set to facilitate the safe passage of eight-lift sedan chairs and horseback riding at that time, and this road condition also made it easier and more comfortable for today's hiking enthusiasts.
There are many historic sites and scenic spots along the Huirao Ancient Road, such as Huangshan Scenic Area, Wuyuan Scenic Area and Hongguan Ancient Village, etc., which are all places that tourists yearn for. Along the way, there are also pavilions such as Jizhi Pavilion, Bird's Nest Pavilion and Tongchun Pavilion for passers-by to rest, some are simple and dilapidated, some are exquisite, and they should be newly built.

After the Tiansheng Water Pavilion, and then to the shocking "eighteen folds" place, the ancient road with the steep mountain into a zigzag roundabout, forming eighteen bends, such as the ladder hanging at the foot of the Zheling Mountains, looking at it from afar, like a dragon winding on the hillside.
