Datang gorge ecotourism area

Datang gorge is located in the lower reaches of Qianjiang River about 8 km northwest of Guiping city. It is the largest and longest gorge in Guangxi. It is said that in ancient times, there was a big rattan like a bucket, crossing the river, sinking in the day and floating in the night, for people to climb across the river, so it got its name.

In the gorge, there are twists and turns in the river, rapids, dangerous rocks, dangerous beaches, reefs, huge waves, rough water and thunderous waves. Because of the high and dangerous gorge, it has become a must for military strategists. It was here that the famous Yao uprising broke out. During the period from 1375 A.D. to the reign of Tianqi, Ming Dynasty suppressed Yao people's uprising because of its heavy garrison. It was changed to Duanteng gorge and then Yongtong gorge. On the cliff, there is an inscription of Ming Dynasty "chici Yongtong gorge". Xu Xiake, a traveler in the Ming Dynasty, once set sail in the great tengxia gorge and wrote about his travels. In the spring of 1974, Comrade Mao Zedong, who was very proficient in the history of Chinese peasant uprising, inquired about the situation of Datang gorge and wrote down the word "Datang gorge" in his own handwriting.
