There may be many friends in Sichuan who have never heard of Pingwu. Pingwu is the largest county in Mianyang, the second largest city in Sichuan, with an area of 5,974 square kilometers. However, because most areas are mountainous areas, Pingwu has a small population, which is less than 200,000 compared with most counties in Sichuan Basin.
The forest resources here are extremely rich, with only three nature reserves. No wonder there are so many pandas, because the ecological environment here is very good. Wang Lang Nature Reserve, Si Er Nature Reserve and Xiaohegou Nature Reserve in Pingwu are all beautiful and inaccessible places.
Pingwu not only has beautiful natural scenery but also has a long history. During the Three Kingdoms period, the Motianling Mountain where Wargo attacked Shu was located in Pingwu County, and the famous road was also located in Pingwu County. Therefore, the terrain in Pingwu is steep and the mountains are huge, blocking the sun. Now the county seat of Pingwu is still built on the mountain, and the towering mountains can be seen in the urban area.
In terms of traffic, in the past, the traffic in Pingwu was relatively blocked because of terrain factors. Now Pingwu has planned the expressway from Jiuzhaigou to Mianyang, which will be much more convenient in the future. In addition, Mianyang is also a developed city in Sichuan, and its comprehensive strength is second only to Chengdu.
