Xiaoguan is a famous pass in the ancient northwest frontier. The emperors of Qin and Han went on tour, and the literati of Han and Tang went to the fortress, all of which were related to Xiao Guan. The location of Xiaoguan has always been disputed, but there is no dispute about the approximate location in the southeast of Guyuan County, Ningxia.

Xiaoguan in the Qin and Han Dynasties should refer to the dangerous area from Sanguankou to Wating Gorge. Although it is not a cliff, it is steep and majestic. Wating, which is located in this defensive zone, is located on the edge of the eastern foot of Liupan Mountain, and is essentially an important barrier for Xiaoguan. Not only are the majestic peaks surrounded by arches, the deep valleys are dangerous, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and have unique geographical advantages, but also there are three passes in the south of the Jing River, which is a natural defense system of Xiaoguan from south to north.

Today, Jingshui flows here in four seasons, gurgling and shining. In spring, wild peach blossoms are all over the mountains, and in summer and autumn, the mountains are green and dark, accompanied by viaducts and culverts, trains come in and out, and natural moats pass through. It is a good place for tourists to visit.
