Located in the south of Lianzhou City, the Huangchuan Three Gorges is the main tributary of the Beijiang River system in the Pearl River Basin. It originates from the Xingzi Hongyan Mountain, flows through Lianzhou, Yangshan and Yingde, and converges into the Beijiang River at the mouth of Lianjiang River. The Qing Dynasty Zhizhou Lin Huawan said, "The pearl of Lianxia is unique, and there are few places of interest in Jiuzhou. Only Wushan Wuxia can be compared with others." In ancient times, Lianxia, also known as the Huangchuan Three Gorges, stood by Longquan Gorge, Lengga Gorge and Yangtiao Gorge. The shortest and narrowest gorge in the Lianjiang Gorges is less than one kilometer long and its bank width is only over 30 meters. It can be jumped by sheep. Legend has it that a goat lives on the right side of the river running downstream and must jump to the mountain on the left to graze every day. One day, when it jumped over the canyon, there was a loud noise and the cliff collapsed. The goat could no longer jump home, so he stood on the hill on the left every day, year after year turning into a stone statue. Legend has it that the stone on the left Hill resembles a goat, that is, the goat that yearned to go home. So this is called Yangtiao Gorge. Because the canyon is narrow, there is no cloudless water in the canyon. Here, the river is deep green, the river is smooth, the water surface is like a mirror, the rocky rocks are rugged, and the bank walls seem to be open and close. As the ship passed, it felt as if it was in danger of being engulfed by two walls at any time. Standing at the bow of the boat looking up, on the eaves of the gorge wall, hanging the stone bells and breasts carved by the gods of heaven, in thousands of shapes. In addition, waterfalls pour down, such as thunder, surging, pearls shooting everywhere, the waterway is confused, there is indeed "suspected silver and snow on the river, white waves jumping into the boat in disorder" artistic conception. The fairy gorge is narrow and dangerous, the bay is deep and the cliffs on both sides are strange. One is as flat as a knife, and a big stone is thrown out in the wall, which looks like a dragon head. The Longquan Gorge is named for its waterfalls in the rocks and its hanging straight down rivers all the year round. When the river breeze is blowing gently, the water spray disperses into rain and mist. Under the sunset, the cliff walls in the mist are colorful and changeable.
