(Redirected from Gallery roads)The 'gallery roads' (棧道) were roads through remote mountain areas of
China. They consisted of wooden planks erected on holes cut into the sides of cliffs. They were most notably used in the
Qinling Mountains linking the
Wei River and the
Han River valleys. The first gallery roads were built during the
Warring States Period and used by
Qin to invade
Shu and
Ba.
