石门, Ancient river crossing in Baiyun District, Guangzhou, China.
The Shimen site stands where the Xiobei River meets the Liuxi River, forming a natural stone gate between mountains with exposed rock formations.
During the Han Dynasty, General Lu Jia built stone fortifications at this location to protect against potential invasions from northern territories.
The stone gate became part of the Eight Views of Guangzhou during the Song and Yuan dynasties, featured in numerous paintings and poems.
Direct tourist buses connect Guangzhou East Railway Station to Shimen, with regular departures throughout the day for visitors.
The Shimen area includes the Tanquan archaeological site, Xihua Temple, and a water treatment facility integrated within the natural landscape.
