Step into Dongpo Red Cliff West Gate where the legendary Su Shi penned his immortal 'Ode to the Red Cliff'! This fusion of Three Kingdoms battlefield relics and Song Dynasty literary heritage dazzles with cliff carvings echoing poets' verses. Walk the mossy stone paths beneath Hanchuan Gate's ancient walls, then ascend Qixia Tower at dusk to witness the Yangtze River crashing against vermilion cliffs—just as described in Su Shi's masterpiece.
