The canyon is winding and deep, and the shore wall is like a knife. According to the examination, since the Jin Dynasty, a pass has been set up here, so it was named tiemenguan because of its strategic location. It is a natural barrier for Yanqi basin to enter Tarim basin, and it has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.
