Cuiyun Corridor generally refers to a section of the ancient Shu Road. Centered around the old town of Jiange, it stretches over 300 li along three major ancient post roads: north to Zhaohua of Guangyuan, west to Zitong and south to Langzhong.

Qiao Bo, prefect of Jianzhou in the early Qing Dynasty, wrote a poem about this place: "The road to Jiange winds over rugged stones.

Who planted these ancient cypresses lining both sides?

A hundred thousand trees stand along the three-hundred-li corridor.

Cuiyun Corridor is shrouded in blue mist.

Moss grows thick, and damp drizzle soaks travelers’ clothes.

Bending branches and drooping leaves bring cool breezes.

One may rest anywhere on the stones,

and find inspiration for verses at every turn.

Like dragons and snakes, the road twists among mountains.

Do not lament the hardships of the Shu Road,

for none surpass the beauty of Jiange’s path."

This poem gave the corridor its elegant name and vividly portrays its scenery. Today, a park has been built where ancient cypresses are best preserved, home to more than 8,000 thousand-year-old trees. Shaped by centuries of wind and rain, these cypresses take varied forms. They have interesting names derived from their features: Mandarin Duck Cypresses and Arhat Trees for their growth patterns, Top Scholar Tree and Grand General Cypress for their sturdy trunks, as well as A Dou Cypress and Hometown-Gazing Cypress named after historical tales.
