Kuimen, Three Gorges of the Yangtze River | 10-yuan RMB check-in spot

📍 Check-in location
The pattern on the back of the 10-yuan RMB note is Kuimen in Fengjie, Chongqing, which is located at the entrance of Qutang Gorge. It is one of the most magnificent landscapes in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River and is known as the "most majestic pass in the world." The best photo taking spot is at the Kuimen Baidicheng Observation Deck, where you can overlook the magnificent sight of cliffs on both sides of the river and the rushing river.

📜 History and Culture
Kuimen, also known as "Qutang Pass", has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. During the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei entrusted his son to Zhuge Liang here, and the ruins of Baidi City still exist today. This place is not only a natural wonder, but also carries a profound historical and cultural heritage.

📸 Photography tips

Weather selection: Go on a sunny day or when there is plenty of light, the color contrast between the mountains and the river will be more vivid.
Viewing angle suggestion: Turn on wide-angle mode (0.5-0.7x) to capture the panoramic view.
Post-production synthesis: If the angle of the real scene does not match that of the banknote, you can take a landscape photo first, and then use photo editing software to overlay the banknote pattern to create a creative effect.
