It is the best place to appreciate Kuimen. The two mountains of Chi Jia and Bai Yan face each other across the river, locking the whole river very narrow, like a door. Since Fengjie was called Kuizhou in ancient times, this gate was called Kuimen Gate. On the left side of the platform stands a stone tablet engraved with Kuimen. Kuimen is not only the symbol of the Three Gorges, but also the design on the back of the 10 yuan is one of the important geographical symbols of Chongqing.

Temple of marquis
Zhuge Liang was once honored as "Marquis of Wuxiang" by Liu Bei, and was posthumously honored as "Marquis of Loyalty" by Liu Chan, the ruler of Shu Han. Therefore, in history, all the shrines in memory of Zhuge Liang are called "Marquis of Wuhou". The Wuhou Temple in the Baidi Temple is probably the smallest one in China, with an area of only over 60 square meters. There are statues of three generations of Zhuge Liang, his son Zhuge Chan and his grandson Zhuge Shang.
