[2025 Tongguan Attraction] Travel Guide for Tongguan Yellow River Ancient Ferry (Updated Feb)

|Key Fortress of the Three Qin Regions. The Tongguan Ancient Ferry is located at the big bend of the Yellow River. It has been an important place for people to interact and trade since ancient times. According to historical records, the Tongguan Ancient Ferry was an important place for cross-strait exchanges in ancient times. It is said that Nuwa created humans here, and Dayu also landed at the Tongguan Yellow River Ferry when he was controlling the floods. The Tongguan Ancient Ferry is also in a very unique geographical location, at the confluence of the Yellow, Wei, and Luo Rivers, and the Qinling and Zhongtiao Mountains are connected, forming the geographical advantage of the "key fortress of the Three Qin Regions" and the "throat of the four towns." This geographical advantage gave the Tongguan Ancient Ferry an important strategic position in history, making it a place that military strategists must fight for. King Tang of Shang crossed the Yellow River from Tongguan to attack the capital of Xia, Anyi, and King Mu of Zhou also crossed the Yellow River from here when he went on a southern tour. In the first year of the reign of Emperor Gaozu of Han (206 BC), a ship department was established to manage the water transportation of the Yellow and Wei Rivers, and the Tongguan Ancient Ferry was upgraded to an official ferry. In history, the Tongguan Ancient Ferry was a must-pass place for entering the Central Plains from the east and entering Guanzhong and the Western Regions from the west since the end of the Han Dynasty. It was the key fortress for entering and leaving the Three Qin Regions. Address: 200 meters west of Gudufang, Tongguan County, Weinan City, Shaanxi Province Tickets: Free, ferry charges
