Pull out a 10-yuan RMB note and look at the reverse side. Two sheer cliffs pinch a ribbon of river into a narrow blue corridor — that scene is Kuimen, the dramatic entrance to Qutang Gorge, and the first image that greets you as you approach Baidicheng & Qutang Gorge Scenic Area by boat. Most…
Chongqing Municipality: A Traveler’s Guide to China’s 8D City
