Li Panlong, one of the "later seven sons" of the Ming Dynasty, wrote in his Taihua mountain record: "the plank road is to the West from the South Tianmen gate. Although the stack is blocked by copper pillars and iron ropes, it is not as wide as a foot. It's more than 20 feet to the end. The lower part is a well, about three feet high, and the outer part is a stack. "

"Shuo Ling" also has a record that: "the long empty stack is on the half wall, eight inches wide, more than ten Zhang long, empty on the back."

Wu Tongchun's Taihua Shuang You Ji describes the posture of the plank road more vividly: "hang the double rope down, walk on the wall, arm edge rope, feet move horizontally, heel often falls outside the board..."

Due to the precipitous plank road, the local people have the saying that "be careful, and find the body in Shangzhou, Luonan". It's just a way to explore, not the only way to climb mountains. The cowards just have a look at the climbing platform. So there are many warning words on the stone carvings: "rein in the horse on the precipice".

The road is divided into three sections, from Shifang of Nantianmen to the west of CHAOYUANDONG. The road is chiseled out from the cliff, 20 meters long and about two feet wide, which is the upper section. It is folded down, and the gap across the cliff is like a hanging ladder in the air. Visitors have to pull the rope down step by step, which is called "jixiajia", which is the middle section. The west section is the lower section. The road builder chisels a stone hole on the cliff, wedges it into the stone pile, and sets up three rafters between the stone piles At this point, the face of the wall is close to the abdomen, and the wooden rafters move forward horizontally.
