Hongshi Gorge is located about 5 kilometers north of Yulin City. It is also called "Xiongshi Gorge" by the locals in the Yuxi River Valley at the foot of Hongshan Mountain at the mouth of the Ming Great Wall. The mountains and rivers are beautiful in the canyon, and there are many ancient temples in grottoes. The rock carvings in Hongshixia are divided into two parts: east and west. Most of them are works from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Although they are not very old, there are also many famous calligraphy works. On the east cliff of Hongshi Gorge, there are more than 80 inscriptions, most of which were carved during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. Among them, Zuo Zongtang's "Yuxi Resort" and Ma Zhanshan's "Huan My River and Mountain" are relatively famous; On the west cliff of Hongshi Gorge, there are about 30 inscriptions, some of which are a combination of special yin and yang inscriptions, and a Mongolian stone inscription "Tiancheng Xiongxiu", which is worth seeing. The earlier relics in Hongshi Gorge were the temples and grottoes of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, but now except for the painted paintings and carvings in some of the caves, the rest no longer exist. Among the existing grottoes, the fourth and sixth caves are still worth a visit. The carvings on the tops of the fourth and sixth caves are still well preserved, and the patterns of the sixth cave also have the meaning of the Menghan family. If you come to the grotto in summer, you will feel very cool. From here, tourists can also walk to the Tianmen Gate on the top of the cliff and the Dimen Gate leading to the waterside in the canyon. Hongshi Gorge is also the filming location of the movie "Evil in the East and Poison in the West". It is suitable for visiting in the evening and dusk. At this time, the canyon under the sunset glow is very artistic. Tourists can also walk from the West Cliff to the bottom of the canyon, where the Yuxi River flows, giving this northwestern frontier a bit of the beauty of the south of the Yangtze River. If you come here in summer, you can play in the water on the beach by the river.
