The Kui Gate, also named Qutang Pass, is the gateway from the Sichuan basin to the Three Gorges at the Yangtze River with high mountains towering on both banks. On the cliff are engraved five characters (Kui Gate, the Grandest of All). The gate is so named because Fengjie County was named Kuizhou in ancient times, for which the Qutang Gorge is also called "Kui Gorge". Here, the Yangtze River overwhelmingly rushes through the gate to the east.
