Shimen Pass, the deepest crevice of Cangshan Mountain

Dali Cangshan Shimen Pass Scenic Area Dali Cangshan Shimen Pass Scenic Area, located on the western slope of Diancang Mountain in Yangbi County, is an important part of the Cangshan World Geopark, the national nature reserve, and the national scenic spot of the Cang'er Scenic Area. Shimen Pass is situated between the Longquan Peak and Yujufeng of Cangshan, on the east bank of the Yangjiang River. The scenic area boasts glacial relics from the previous year and a hundred kinds of rare fauna and flora, combining majestic, dangerous, strange, beautiful, and secluded natural landscapes with historical and cultural ones. The hundred-meter cliffs on both sides of the pass rise abruptly, resembling two giant stone doors, hence the name 'Shimen Pass.' The mountains stand opposite each other with a majestic aura. Standing here, we are overwhelmed by the natural wonder crafted by the forces of nature. There are many beautiful sights here, such as the Mist-locked Stone Gate, the Evening Bell of Fuguo, the Clear and Serene Valley, the Secluded Orchids in the Cliff, the Rosy Clouds Forgetting to Return, the Jade Splashing in the Emerald Pond, the Heavenly Scrolls, the Cloud-Piercing Plank Road, the Jade Emperor Gushing Greenery, and the Cangshan Sunset, making a trip here absolutely worthwhile. Shimen Pass also has a deep mountain hot spring mixed with sulfur. The open-air location allows you to enjoy the hot spring while admiring the scenery. As night falls, the artificial lights on Shimen Pass twinkle like stars, offering a comfortable and pleasant experience.
