Feilai Gorge, also known as Yuxia, Zhongsu Gorge and Qingyuan Gorge, is one of the Three Gorges in the Beijiang River, the main stream of the Pearl River system. It is the dividing point of the middle and lower reaches of the Beijiang River. It is 9 kilometers long and is a dangerous place among the Three Gorges of the Beijiang River. It has a long history and is known as "the scenery is famous in the south, and the ancient sites are all over the gorges and mountains." Feilai Gorge is named after the ancient temple Feilai Temple on the north bank of the gorge. Song Su Shi's poem says: "Heaven opened the Qingyuan Gorge" which refers to this. The gorge starts from the mouth of the Yujiang River in the east and ends at Baimiaowei in the west. The deepest part is 36 meters. The gorge water is deep blue and blue, and the two sides are surrounded by green peaks. This hike follows the ridgeline on the south bank of Feilai Gorge, and you can see the infinite scenery of Feilai Gorge from a God's perspective.
