Yintong Gorge is one of the five gorges in the Wujiang Mountain Gorge Scenic Area along the river. The gorge is 8.35 kilometers long. On the west bank of Wujiang River is Brave Village, Huangtu Township, and on the east bank is Gaoshan Village, Siqu Town. There are two beaches in the gorge: Yin Tongzi and Zhang Gongzi. The river surface of Yintongzi Beach is narrow, the beach is long and the current is fast, and the waves crashing on the shore are as loud as thunder; the river surface of Zhanggongzi Beach is broad, the river winds like a bow, and the peaks turn back and forth, which is very spectacular. When the boat first entered the gorge, the current was turbulent and the boat was moving like an arrow. Suddenly, a mountain on the west bank cut across the river. When the boat arrived in front of the mountain, its course changed. The west bank suddenly became clear, and the mountains on the east bank cut across the river. Looking ahead, I suspect that the river flow has dried up, and looking back, I wonder where the boat came from. The water is as heavy as the mountain, disappearing and appearing, like walking in a maze. The predecessors left behind the poem "Crossing the flowing water ladder to the clouds, the green waves rolled over and got mesmerized". On the west bank of the gorge is Maoduchang, which was opened during the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty. During the Republic of China, Yang Huayu, the head of the county along the river, passed this gorge on his patrol and wrote a poem: "The torrent cannot be restrained, the water clouds are busy, and he turns to a light boat to pass through the gorge." After returning to Mao Ferry from Guansai, the silver boy should laugh at Zhang Gong's madness.

Yintong Gorge has scenic spots such as Sleeping Beauty, Yipiao Stone, and the ruins of the ancient city of the Tang Dynasty. Sleeping Beauty is composed of several beautiful mountain peaks. It is like a beautiful woman sleeping beautifully on the green carpet and unwilling to leave for a long time. A stone is two huge stones standing side by side on the river bank. The stone is about 5 meters high. , like a pick of burdens, commonly known as a pick of stones. The ruins of the ancient city of the Tang Dynasty can be entered along a cave on the west bank of Zhanggongzi Beach. One theory is that it was the seat of Wuzhou in the Tang Dynasty. The city was divided into two gates, the east and west, and the ruins still exist.

The Loess People's Liberation Army Martyrs Monument is located in the cypress forest north of the Huangtukan Village Township Government in Huangtu Township. In July 1976, the Loess Township Revolutionary Committee was built to commemorate the martyrs of the People's Liberation Army who died in the Loess suppression of bandits in the early days of liberation. The monument is 12 meters high and 3 meters wide. On the front (southwest) is the inscription "Martyrs Memorial Tower", on the back (northeast) is the inscription "The People's Heroes Live Forever", and on the right (northwest) is the inscription in columns from top to bottom. The name, place of birth, position, place of sacrifice, age at the time of sacrifice, etc. of the martyrs. In December 1999, when the Tongren District Water and Electricity Bureau was engaged in poverty alleviation in the loess, it jointly donated funds with the Township People's Government to rebuild the monument and build a revolutionary traditional education base for young people to commemorate the heroes and inspire future generations. The surface of the monument is inlaid with finely polished marble, and the top is covered with glazed tiles. It is surrounded by 17 square stone pillars connected by iron chains and inlaid with milky white tiles.
