2065438+September, 2008 1 day, I took a photo here when I passed Ganling with my newly bought DJI Elf 4 UAV. As a famous tourist scenic spot in Shaanxi, there are always many tourists on the Shinto on the south side of Ganling Mountain, and a large number of cultural relics and historic sites are erected, such as Huabiao, Yima, Weng Zhong, Wordless Monument, Sage Monument, and Sixty-one Chen Fan Statue. ?
Aerial photography on the south side of Ganling Mountain has certain security risks for tourists and cultural relics. So, I walked along the Huanling Highway to the north of Ganling, and started aerial photography from the Xuanwumen site, avoiding the core area of the scenic spot. At the same time, let everyone appreciate the elegance of the north gate of Ganling.
?
According to legend, Ganling was built in imitation of Chang 'an City. The cemetery is "eight miles a week", with two original city walls, four in the inner city, Qinglong Gate in the east, Zhuquemen in the south, Baihumen in the west and Xuanwu Gate in the north. Among them, the north gate, also known as the "back slaughter gate", is smaller than the south gate, but larger than the west gate and the east gate. ?
In August 2008, in the Sino-Japanese cooperation project of Tang Ling stone carving protection and environmental improvement, Ganling Museum and Shaanxi Institute of Archaeology conducted exploration and investigation on the site of Ganling Mausoleum. During this period, archaeologists unearthed six precious cultural relics, including the remnant stone horse, the remnant Shi Hu, the pedestal of Shi Hu and the pedestal of small stone carvings.
?
I operated the drone, rose from Xuanwu Gate and flew south along the hillside. The stone carvings and Quelou ruins here have a panoramic view, which is very spectacular. From north to south, you can see six stone carvings, distributed on both sides of the dirt road, with five stone horses and one Shi Hu. The distance from north to south is about 16 meters, and the distance from east to west is about 29 meters.
?
Along the dirt road in the middle, I flew all the way to the mountain. After two mounds, the cone-shaped main peak of Liangshan suddenly appeared in front of you, and the dense pine and cypress stood tall. This dirt road is just above the main peak, and there is a circle of dirt road on both sides, which surrounds the main peak of Liangshan, like a yellow necklace.
?
Continuing upward, the most spectacular scene appeared: the east and west Feng Ru on the south side of Ganling Mountain and Ganxian County not far away were clearly displayed under the lens. The straight Shinto connected Liangshan, Feng Ru and the county town to form a giant "sleeping beauty", which was really a unique and magnificent sight.
?
Liangshan is a limestone body with three peaks. The northern peak is the highest, with an altitude of 1047.9 meters. The underground palace of Ganling is built on the North Peak. The two peaks in the south are low in height, east-west, with Sima Road in Ganling in the middle. Because they are like women's breasts, they are named "Feng Ru".

In December of the first year of Hongdao (683), Tang Gaozong died, and Wu Zetian ordered people to start building the Ganling. In the first year of Tang Guangfu (684), the main building was completed and Emperor Gaozong was buried in the Xuan Palace. In the second year of Shenlong (706), Gong Xuan Palace in Ganling was reopened and Wu Zetian was buried here. Therefore, after 57 years, the construction project of Ganling Mausoleum has a grand scale and magnificent architecture, which is called "the crown of emperors' tombs in past dynasties".
