In the river bed at the bottom of the Yellow River valley, there are two shuttle-shaped boulders standing majestically in the huge current, forming two river center islands. They are Mengmen Mountain, also known as Mengmen Island, which was called "the pedal of the Nine Rivers" in ancient times. Mengmen Mountain is not only charming, but also has the beauty of "Mengmen night moon". Moreover, it also has important scientific value in the study of the development history of the Yellow River.
According to legend, the two small islands were originally one mountain, which blocked the river, causing floods to overflow. When Dayu controlled the water, he split the mountain into two, so that the water could flow smoothly. These two small islands look like boats from a distance, mountains from a close view, and doors from a bird's eye view. Damengmen Island is about 300 meters long and about 10 meters above the water. On the stone cliff to the south of it, there are four big characters inscribed in the reign of Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty "Waizhen Kuangliu". Xiaomengmen Island is more than 10 meters upstream of Damengmen Island and is only 50 to 60 meters long. Facing the turbulent and rushing water of the Yellow River, Mengmen has never disappeared all year round. Its majestic appearance, Longmen and Hukou constitute the three wonders of the Yellow River, and it is also famous for its unique style. door".
