What is the westernmost canyon of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River? Qutang Gorge is the first gorge in the west of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, also known as Kuixia. It starts from Baidicheng in the west and reaches Daxi Town in Wushan in the east. It is 8 kilometers long and is famous for its grandeur.
The valley of Qutangxia is as narrow as a corridor, and the cliffs on both sides are as steep as a city wall. Guo Moruo issued the admiration of "the scenery is different, the Three Gorges is the first". At the west entrance of Qutang Gorge, Baiyan Mountain stands tall in the south of the Yangtze River, and Chi Jia Mountain stands tall in the north of the Yangtze River, facing each other, opening a line and a door in the gorge. Therefore, it is called Kuimen, and it was called Qutangguan in ancient times, forming a dangerous momentum of "western control of Bashu gathers ten thousand valleys", and Qutangxia locks up the whole Sichuan water.
The highlands on both sides of Kuimen are called "White Salt Mountain" in the south and "Chi Jia Mountain" in the north. Jiajiang confronts each other, rising from the ground and soaring into the sky. The banks of Xiajiang River stand like razors, just like the gates made in heaven. The cliff here is 500 meters high and the river is only 100 meters wide, but the flow is as high as 50,000 cubic meters per second. It's really "two mountains are like gate valves, and a strong wind comes out."
"White salt is the best in the world, and the land is abrupt." Chijiashan is called Chijiashan because the aqueous solution containing iron oxide is attached to the weathered rock surface, and the earth and stone of this mountain are red, such as bare back. Baiyan Mountain System is named after its aqueous solution attached to rocks, which mainly contains calcium and looks like white salt. In the bright sunshine, Chi Jia Mountain is reddish and Baiyan Mountain is grayish white. Across the river, one dressed in red, the other wrapped in plain clothes, the scene is wonderful.
Du Fu described the water potential of Kuimen, using "more water to prosper the country, and Qutang to fight for a door." The swan song outlines the majestic posture of Kuimen.
Now on the stone wall of Linjiang, Sun's "Kuimen is the best in the world, and the boat is too light." The ten characters in the running script, Li Duanhao's seal cutting "Wei Zai Kui Men" and the running script "Kui Men Qu Tang", are vivid.
The surging Yangtze River crosses the continuous Wushan Mountains, forming three steep and swift canyons-Qutang Gorge, Wuxia Gorge and Xiling Gorge, which are collectively called the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. The main scenic spots of Qutang Gorge and Wuxia Gorge are all in Wanxian area.
Kuimen is the best in the world! Kuimen is the west gate to the Three Gorges, also known as Qutang Gorge Pass. Here, the two peaks are close together, such as the door is half open; Suddenly, a huge river flows through, and the waves that rotate like snow make a deafening sound, just like a group of hot-blooded men struggling to move forward there, gulping down all difficulties and obstacles and moving forward bravely. That scene, just as Chen Yi, a marshal poet, exclaimed loudly: "The Three Gorges bound the Yangtze River to change it into a river. Who knows that it broke Kuimen and flowed eastward into the sea. "
Qutang Gorge, in this thrilling heroic experience, you can also see many wonders on the rocks on both sides of the strait, such as Tiesuo Pass, Stealing Water Cave, Phoenix Drinking Spring, Stone Carvings on the Wall, Meng Liang Ladder, Inverted Monk, Fengxiang Gorge, Qimen, and Ancient Plank Road.
