Scenic spot introduction:

Yangbi Shimenguan is a typical canyon landform landscape. Two cliff canyons hundreds of meters high stand on the riverside, shaped like two huge stone gates. They have the potential of "one man can guard the gate, but ten thousand men cannot open it". Since ancient times, "Tiankai Shimen" has been one of the "Sixteen Ancient Scenic Spots in Yangbi". The most amazing thing is that in October 1994, a large cliff painting with an area of ​​about 16 square meters was discovered in the back mountain of nearby Songlin Village. The cliff painting is exquisitely painted, colorful, and the scene is spectacular and breathtaking. In the scenic area, there are clear waterfalls and craggy rock walls, which are really like ghosts and gods chiseling, opening up the sky in a strange environment.
