Yangtze River Three Gorges

4.8/5

The Yangtze River Three Gorges is a grand canyon formed by the Yangtze cutting through the Wushan Mountains. It stretches nearly 200 km from White Emperor City in Fengjie, Chongqing, in the west to Nanjin Pass in Yichang, Hubei, in the east, connecting three gorges—Qutang, Wuxia, and Xiling—from west to east. This stretch of river has served as a vital waterway between Ba and Chu since ancient times. Li Bai's verse "Departing at dawn from White Emperor City veiled in colorful clouds" depicts the eastbound journey from the gorge entrance, while Du Fu left his famous line "The endless Yangtze rolls on and on" in Fengjie. Each gorge has distinct characteristics, often summarized as "majestic Qutang, graceful Wuxia, and perilous Xiling." Qutang Gorge spans only about 8 km but is renowned for its sheer cliffs. At Kuimen, its entrance, the river abruptly narrows to less than 100 m between knife-cut bluffs—a scene featured on the back of China's fifth series CNY 10 banknote. Ancient plank road holes and Wind Box Gorge's hanging coffins remain visible on the cliffs. Wuxia Gorge extends over 40 km like a winding gallery, with the Twelve Peaks lining its banks. Goddess Peak stands elegantly photogenic in morning mist. Xiling Gorge was once notorious for rapids, but the Three Gorges Dam has transformed its upper reaches into a "high gorge with placid waters." Riverside landmarks like White Emperor City and Huangling Temple are worth visiting. Cruising is the best way to experience the gorges. Long-distance ships sail downstream, while short round-trip boats shuttle through key sections. Watching peaks drift by from the deck offers a more immersive perspective than shore viewing. Morning mist often creates ideal conditions for photographing Kuimen and Goddess Peak. Cliffside plank road relics and inscriptions may flash by during the cruise—keep an eye out to avoid missing them.Yichang · 44.4 km from Yidu

The Three Gorges Dam Tourism Area

The Three Gorges Dam Tourism Area is located in the Xiling Gorge section of the Yangtze River in Yichang, Hubei. It is a scenic attraction built around the Three Gorges hydro project, covering over ten square kilometers. Currently, it offers travelers three viewing spots: Tanzi Ridge, the 185 viewing platform, and the river closure memorial park. The dam crest itself is not open to travelers, so visits primarily revolve around these three attractions. Tanzi Ridge is the highest accessible point in the dam area, named for its jar-shaped summit viewing platform resembling an overturned jar. It also served as the survey site for the dam's initial location selection. From the ridge top, visitors can overlook the Three Gorges Project in its entirety—the dam, power station, and twin five-level ship locks are all visible. The five lock chambers cascade down the mountainside, earning the nickname "Fourth Gorge of the Yangtze." The park displays engineering artifacts like ancient riverbed stones, river closure rocks, and foundation stones from the dam site, complemented by model exhibits that help visitors intuitively understand the origins and development of this mega-project. The 185 observation platform is located on the left bank of the dam. It gets its name from sharing the same elevation of 185 m as the dam crest. Standing on the platform feels like being atop the dam: on one side, the dam and vertical ship lift are within close reach, offering a chance to witness ships "riding the elevator" over the dam; on the other side lies the vast, tranquil reservoir upstream. The stark contrast between the stillness above and the dynamism below the dam is striking. The closure memorial park is situated on the right bank downstream of the dam, preserving artifacts like tetrahedral closure stones and large loading machinery used during the construction. It's an ideal spot to view the dam's full frontal grandeur. During flood seasons when the dam releases water, torrents rush out from the deep outlets, creating towering mist and thunderous echoes that reverberate through the valley—a truly awe-inspiring spectacle. The three attractions are far apart, and the scenic area provides shuttle buses for transportation. It is recommended to reserve half a day to visit them in order.Yichang · 63.6 km from Yidu

I went with friends. The performance was fantastic; the actors were dedicated and their performances were very engaging. The historical stories were well-choreographed, the dances were beautiful, and the overall style of Chu culture was perfect. The sight of thousands of red flags after the performance was incredibly moving and filled me with a sense of pride! Five-star recommendation; I'll definitely bring my kids next time.

This place is definitely worth bringing your kids to experience. Firstly, the Giraffe Park is located around Qingjiang Bay. The environment and air quality are excellent, with plenty of greenery all around. Putting down electronic devices and letting children experience nature is a great idea. Many of the animals roam freely, allowing for interaction. This also helps improve children's overall abilities. It's a fantastic family outing experience.

You can feed the giraffes up close. The giraffes are gentle and easy to feed. The platform allows you to feed and take photos face-to-face. The giraffe restaurant also offers a great window seat where you can eat while watching the giraffes. It's a unique experience around Yichang.

Be sure to choose a sunny day with blue skies and white clouds for your boat trip! The Changyang Qingjiang Gallery Scenic Area (5A) is definitely worth a visit! A walk around Wuluo Zhongli Mountain and an experience at Xianren Cave are both worthwhile! The boat tour is very comfortable and pleasant! The scenery on both banks is picturesque, with clear water, green mountains, and blue skies complementing each other perfectly! A stunning landscape gallery! Perfect for seniors and those traveling with children! A truly sacred place!

I recently joined this wonderful Three Gorges one-day cruise tour in Yichang together with my friends. The whole tour cost only 250 yuan per person, and a nice lunch was included in the package, which is really good value.We sailed through the beautiful Xiling Gorge and got to see the world-famous Three Gorges Dam. The river and mountain views along the way were breathtaking. Our tour guide was very friendly and patient. The guide showed us all the sights and explained lots of useful information about the dam and the gorge. All of us were satisfied and enjoyed the trip a lot. The schedule was well planned, and the boat ride was comfortable. I highly recommend this cruise tour if you come to Yichang!

After exploring the surrounding area, I came here for a hot spring bath in the evening. The surrounding facilities are great, with things to do, places to eat, and hotels. It would be a perfect place to spend a couple of days on the weekend.

As a national 5A-level scenic spot, the Three Gorges Dam is an unmissable destination when visiting the Yangtze River. Standing on Tanziling and looking down, the mighty Yangtze River surges beneath your feet, and the magnificent momentum of the world's largest water conservancy project is overwhelming. Touching the heavy dam body and watching the white waves and steaming mist during the flood discharge, you can marvel at the hard-core miracle of modern engineering and appreciate the serene poetic beauty of the high gorges turning into a placid lake. It is a wonderful journey that combines awe and a sense of remembrance.
