Leap of Faith Cliff
Leap of Faith Cliff, historically known as Longmen Gorge or Dugu Gate, is renowned for its steep cliffs and cliffside inscriptions. It was extensively documented in the "Commentary on the Water Classic" by Li Daoyuan. When Emperor Kangxi passed through this area during his military campaign against Galdan, he was struck by its majestic grandeur and composed a poem in praise: "When were these sheer cliffs hewn by the five laborers? Twin gates cleave the towering cliffs like a grand screen." More than 20 cliff inscriptions remain at Leap of Faith Cliff. In 1971, Chicheng County built a large reservoir here, taking advantage of the mountainous terrain. The interplay of mountain scenery and water adds even more magical charm to the landscape.
