Yemu Gorge
冶木峡
A gorge along the Yemu River from Yeliguan to Lianlu in Kangle, with green mountains on both sides and rushing torrents; known as the “hundred-li gallery” self-drive route.
The Yemu Gorge is the stretch where the Yemu River flows east from Yeliguan town to Lianlu town in Kangle County. It divides into a west gorge and an east gorge. The west gorge is lush, with clear water on both banks. The east gorge has fast-flowing water and features such as Tiger's Mouth, and the Ten-li Sleeping Buddha can be seen in the distance. The riverside road is the main route into and out of Yeliguan from the Lanzhou direction. Self-drivers stop to take photos along the way, calling it the “hundred-li gallery.” There is no admission fee, but some sections are narrow and winding. Watch for falling rocks and rising water in the rainy season. The coordinates mark a point on the riverbed of the east gorge.
