Dehang Village is located deep in the gorge, with more than eighty Miao households closely nestled together in the green valley; they are uniformly gray-tiled wooden houses, interspersed among the wooden houses with bluish stone-paved paths, stone-paved courtyards, stone bridges, and stone walls, revealing a harmonious and unified beauty, and the whole village appears tranquil and secluded.
Around the village, the mountains are majestic and the cliffs seem to pinch the sky; the three streams of "Hangxia," "Jiulong," and "Yuquan" meet here, like three colored ribbons intersecting here. This is the center of the scenic area. The bluish stone-paved path of more than 15,000 meters leads from here all the way to the various scenic spots. This is also a very good viewing platform. Standing here, one only needs to turn around on the spot to enjoy all the scenic spots in all directions, east, west, south, and north: the affectionate "Xiangyi Rock," the "Four Horse Peak" with heads raised and hooves galloping, the remarkably lifelike "Peacock Displaying Its Tail," the colorful "Colorful Cloud Wall," and "Painted Screen Peak"... all are before the eyes, with countless scenes, dazzling the viewer. The poet Shi Yuanji praised it saying:
Dehang's rushing stream waters sparkle, a thousand-li blue wave flows down to Dongting.
Green peaks and steep cliffs, jade dragons flying, layered ridges and peaks rising into the clouds.
A single village with a hundred doors opens facing the mountain, sunlight shines by the window and brightens the boudoir.
The plain rooms of the Miao family surpass embroidered chambers, men plow and women weave, and the people are upright and diligent.
