The start of the river has a tunnel that is cut out of the rock face where the boats from the docks can ride through. at the end of the river is a large lake that is located at the base of the forest-mountain village of ''Fěicuì wángguó. ''No settlements have been build on the mountain sides, besides the watch towers that are build for the guards that serve the Ban Family.
