Qutang Gorge starts from Baidi Mountain in Fengjie County in the west and ends at Daxi Town in Wushan County in the east. It is eight kilometers long and is the shortest among the Three Gorges, but it is also the most majestic and steep. The gorge is known for its "magnificence".
At the western entrance, there are cliffs and walls standing on both sides, several hundred zhang high and less than a hundred meters wide, resembling a gateway. It is called "Kuimen" and is known as the "Kuimen of the World"; The one on the left is called Chijia Mountain, and the one on the right is called Baiyan Mountain. No matter what the weather is like, there are always layers of silver brilliance, bright or dark.
Tourists enter the gorge, but they see the dangerous peaks on both sides hanging up and down, carved like axes and knives. The mountain seems to be pulling out of the ground, and the peak seems to pierce the sky. The main peaks in the gorge are some as high as 1500 meters. The river channel in Qutangxia is narrow, with a width of only over a hundred meters. The narrowest point is only a few tens of meters, which makes the cliffs on both sides very close, adding a touch of grandeur. The Kuimen at the western end of the gorge is particularly magnificent.
