Baidi City, a place full of poetic sense, gleams amongst forest-covered hills on the north bank of the Yangtze River near the entrance of the Qutang Gorge. Surrounded by waters, Baidi City gains its popularity by its rich heritage of literature contribution during thousands of years.

Baidi City posts the best viewpoint for the imposing 'Kuimen' (entrance of the Qutang Gorge).
