There is Yanmen pass at the mouth of the Grand Canyon. Yanmen cliff is near the river. There is a plank road in ancient times, and its danger is known. Looking down at the Minjiang River on the road today, it is turbulent and frightening. There is a horseshoe mark on the dune of Duihe. It is said that it was trodden by Huang Zhong, the general of the Three Kingdoms. And then there is Huang Sheng pass. There are two mounds of earth near the pass. It is said that Zhou Cang, a famous general of the Three Kingdoms, fought with Jiang Wei. At this point, he blocked the Yanmen gate with his back stone and took off his boots to dump the sand. Then he became a hill, which looks like a bamboo shoot breaking through the earth and pierces the blue sky.
