What is the scenery on the back of 10 Yuan?

The scenery on the back of this denomination of RMB is Kuimen in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River.

Kuimen, also known as Qutangguan, is the west gate of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River and the gateway to and from the Sichuan Basin. The mountains on both sides of the river face each other here, majestic and steep. The river is only a hundred meters wide, like a ravine, magnificent and majestic. Kuimen is the entrance to the west end of the Three Gorges. There are cliffs on both sides of the bank. It is hundreds of feet high and less than a hundred meters wide. It looks like a portal.

The water in the gorge is deep and fast. The narrowest point of the river is less than 50 meters. The waves are roaring and roaring, which is heart-stopping. It is known as the "Kuimen World Hero". Kuimen stands at the head of Qutang Gorge and the head of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. It stretches from Baidi City in Fengjie County, Chongqing in the west to Daxi Town in Wushan County in the east, with a total length of 8 kilometers. Among the world-famous Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, Kuimen is the narrowest and shortest gorge. Qutang Gorge is as narrow as a corridor, and the cliffs on both sides are as steep as city walls.

Netizens’ evaluation of Kuimen

Kuimen is a good tourist attraction. Kuimen is flanked by high mountains on both sides of the Lingjiang River. Under the majestic Baidi City, it is the gate where the Yangtze River enters the Three Gorges from the Sichuan Basin. The mountains on both sides of Kuimen rise from the ground and reach into the clouds. On both sides of the river, the walls stand as if cut, just like gates made in heaven and earth. The White Salt Mountain System is named after the aqueous solution adhering to the rocks, which mainly contains calcium and looks like white salt. Chijia Mountain is named Chijia Mountain because the aqueous solution containing iron oxide adheres to the surface of the weathered rock formations. The soil and rocks in this mountain are red, like a person's bare back.

Both mountains are made of limestone. Long-term wind and rain erosion has made the rock walls on both sides look like they were being chopped with knives and axes, forming a very beautiful fragmented landscape. The steep cliffs facing the river and facing the wind, although hardly any grass can grow, are each showing their own colors. These colors complement each other with the morning light, sunset glow and bright moon, forming such scenic spots as "Red Armor Sunlight", "White Salt Dawn" and "Kuimen Autumn Moon". .
