Ten-yuan background check-in - White Emperor City · Qutang Gorge
Entering Baidi City, I truly understand why Li Bai could write "Departing Baidi in the morning amid colorful clouds." Standing at the Kuimen Viewing Platform and paying 10 yuan to take a photo feels incredibly ceremonial—the landscape aligns perfectly with the banknote's design.
Taking a boat ride through Qutang Gorge, the river is squeezed between steep cliffs on both sides, bringing a real sense of exhilaration as if "a light boat has already passed ten thousand mountains." Inside Baidi Temple, the statue of Liu Bei entrusting his son instantly transports you back to the Three Kingdoms era, while the stele forest is filled with calligraphy masterpieces left by poets of past dynasties. In half a day, you experience both poetic sentiment and the echoes of war.
