It originates from the northwest of Zhuxi Gorge in Yanglinqiao Town, at the southern foothills of Yuntai Huang, and belongs to the Grand Canyon, a tributary of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. The stream stretches 42.3 kilometers in length, with a drainage area of 514.5 square kilometers. According to its course, it is divided into San Du River, Linjia River, Lao Lin River, and Jiuyanxi River. The scenic area is primarily characterized by its canyon and karst landforms.
