Three Gorges Dam Tourist Area

ExpeditionDreamer

Once the vast sea is now but a drop in the bucket, towering cliffs give rise to a placid lake, and the Goddess remains unharmed

The grandeur of Mount Wu has been universally acknowledged since ancient times. A visit to Mount Wu always inspires poetry, and countless poets have expressed their emotions here. "Ancient trees reach the sky, merging with the azure sea; Cloudy cliffs and sheer precipices hang suspended in the void." "Endless beauty assaults the senses; the mists and rains of Mount Wu hang over a solitary sail." ... After the construction of the Three Gorges Dam, the water level rose by more than 170 meters, submerging many cities and landscapes... Locals talk about their childhoods when they could roll up their trousers and wade in the water of the Lesser Three Gorges, picking up stones and catching small fish🐠. Back then, the Yangtze River had its peaks, perilous paths, shallow banks, and a unique profession—the tracker. Today's Yangtze Three Gorges is 'Once the vast sea is now but a drop in the bucket,' with a water level nearly two hundred meters high, truly 'towering cliffs give rise to a placid lake,' and the rugged and strange gorges have taken on a different appearance. It is a pity that the ancient beauty has been lost. But the power of humanity should not be underestimated; the world has changed in countless ways with the progress of human civilization. Everything changes but change itself; the Goddess should remain unharmed, and this new scenery is also good! Thanks to the painters who recorded the Three Gorges with their lives—we still have the opportunity to glimpse this eternal beauty. Li Daoyuan's 'The Three Gorges': 'For seven hundred li through the Three Gorges, the mountains on both sides are continuous without a break. Layered rocks and stacked ridges hide the sky and the sun, and except at noon or midnight, the sun and the moon are not seen. As for the summer waters rising to Xiangling, the journey upstream is obstructed. Even if royal orders are urgent and one leaves Baidi at dawn and reaches Jiangling by dusk, covering twelve hundred li, even riding the wind cannot be considered swift. In spring and winter, the clear torrents and green pools reflect the surroundings. Many strange pines grow on the sheer cliffs, and hanging springs and waterfalls fly and wash between them, with clear glory and majestic beauty, offering much delight. Whenever it is a clear day at dawn after frost, the forest is cold and the streams are solemn. There are often high monkeys howling long, with a series of mournful and strange sounds that echo through the empty valley, lingering and eventually fading away. Hence, the fisherman's song goes: 'In Badong, the Three Gorges, Wu Gorge is long; with three cries of the monkey, tears soak one's clothes.'

May Day Reverse Travel Yangtze River Discovery Experience Day 2.

🚢 Experience: The entire journey was relaxing and enjoyable. It felt like staying in a moving hotel, without the hassle of dragging luggage around. Every day, we could enjoy different river views, which was a really refreshing experience! 📸 Photo Tips: ① The boarding area on the first floor, with windows on both sides acting like natural photo frames, makes it easy to take great shots. ② Highly recommend booking a room with a balcony. Sitting on the balcony with the river view as the background, every photo turns out beautiful. ③ The bow area on the second floor is also a great spot for photos. ④ The top deck offers a wide view and is a great place for taking pictures. Each ship type may vary, so there might be differences. I hope you find even better photo spots and share them with me! 💞👻

Red leaves intoxicate the gorges, this is the reason to visit the Three Gorges in autumn and winter!

Every autumn and winter, the red leaves of the Three Gorges become "hot". In mid-autumn, they are colorful, in late autumn, the forests are dyed, and in early winter, they are in full swing. In winter, the water is calm, and the river water presents a very beautiful turquoise color. The red leaves all over the mountains, combined with the turquoise river water and the unique gorge terrain of the Yangtze River Three Gorges, add a cinnabar-like embellishment to the ink painting, making it so beautiful that it is intoxicating. It is truly amazing. ⛺【Red Leaf Viewing Time】: November-December 🛬【Destinations】: Yichang, Badong, Wushan, Fengjie, Chongqing, etc. 🧡【Suggested Touring Methods】: Since the Yangtze River Three Gorges is a gorge terrain with high mountains and dangerous roads, and the red leaf spots are relatively scattered, it is recommended that elderly tourists and tourists from distant provinces and cities choose a cruise tour. Tourists from surrounding provinces and cities with good physical strength are recommended to choose self-driving tours. Cruise Tour - No travel fatigue, more than 100 crew members serving the whole ship, relaxed and leisurely, super worry-free, good food and accommodation, you only need to do one thing, have fun! Downstream (2-4 days): Depart from Chongqing, pass through Fengdu, Fengjie, Yangtze River Three Gorges, Wushan, and arrive in Yichang.

Self-driving Tour - Personalized, no time limit, for the cultural scenery you are interested in, you can have a deeper experience. Route Reference: D1: Arrive in Chongqing or Wanzhou, have a hot pot first. Drive on the highway to Fengjie. Stay: Fengjie D2: Go to the 【Baidi City·Qutang Gorge】 Scenic Area, the Baidi City mentioned in the poem "Farewell to Baidi City in the Morning Clouds". Check in at the same spot as the 10 yuan RMB - Kuimen Tianxiaxiong.

Stay: Fengjie D3: Go to the 【Three Gorges Peak】 Scenic Area in the morning, check in at the highest viewing platform in the Yangtze River Three Gorges, and welcome the sunrise of the Three Gorges.

D6: Return trip. In addition to the beautiful natural scenery, the Yangtze River Three Gorges also has a profound historical heritage. It is still the only gorge landscape in the world. I think as a Chinese, you should not miss its beauty.

The Three Gorges route is so impactful, it's worth adding to your life's bucket list!

The Three Gorges, a place most people first learn about from books. Li Bai penned the famous lines 'The sounds of monkeys on either bank can't be stopped, the light boat has already passed thousands of mountains' during a turning point in his life, and to this day, it is still celebrated by people around the world. Yu Qiuyu wrote in 'Cultural Journey': 'Among the interesting places in China, if I could only mention one, it would be the Three Gorges.' Why do the Three Gorges captivate literati and scholars from all walks of life to linger and forget to return? Perhaps this journey can give us the answer~ 📍 Here is the Qutang Gorge, known for its perilous terrain, where the narrowest part of the river is just over 10 meters, yet the peaks on both sides can reach thousands of meters high.

On the banks of the Three Gorges, we have also prepared a recitation gathering for everyone, facing the river breeze of the Three Gorges to recite poems and experience the carefree and hearty dialogue with history. ✅ Tea Tasting in the Clouds🍵 What does it feel like to drink tea in the clouds? Before you is the magnificent view of the Three Gorges, and in your ears is the crisp chirping of birds in the mountains.

3 Gorges

#familytrips2024 As the boat glided through the misty Three Gorges, laughter echoed as we soaked in the breathtaking scenery. My parents' smiles mirrored the grandeur of the towering cliffs, while my siblings and I eagerly snapped photos, capturing memories that would last a lifetime. The gentle sway of the boat felt like a comforting embrace, uniting us in awe of nature's splendor. Together, we marveled at the ancient villages nestled along the banks, each with its own story to tell, weaving a tapestry of history beneath the azure sky. Next on our family's travel wishlist is the enchanting land of New Zealand, where we dream of exploring lush green landscapes, encountering majestic wildlife, and embarking on thrilling adventures amidst snow-capped mountains and pristine lakes.

I thought the scenery of Guilin was already beautiful, until I came to Yichang

Why I don't recommend you to visit the Three Gorges in Yichang, because... you will truly be moved to tears by its beauty. "The cries of monkeys on both banks are unceasing, while the light boat has already passed through countless mountains." I believe this is a verse that spontaneously comes to mind for everyone who takes a boat trip through the Three Gorges.

There are no 'living ghosts' here - A sightseeing guide to Fengdu Ghost City in Chongqing

🔥A while ago, I experienced a cruise trip on the Yangtze River Three Gorges. Besides appreciating the beautiful landscapes of our motherland, I also visited tourist spots that I had only heard of in books before. As for Fengdu Ghost City, I found the architecture and riverside scenery here really attractive. ❤Fengdu is a county town in the suburbs of Chongqing, and the Ghost City is also known as 'Youdu' or 'Ghost Capital'. This scenic spot has a long history and became famous for its various buildings and shapes of the underworld, but unlike its superficially 'particularly gloomy' name, the scenery in the scenic area is actually antique, with lush trees, and the national style architecture is worth watching. ❤️I disembarked early in the morning and climbed the steps to reach the entrance of the scenic spot. Under the sunshine, I found the beautiful scenery here also amazing. Walking through the streets and alleys of the Ghost City, you can see everywhere the simple residences and exquisitely carved stone sculptures. Looking out, you can see the surrounding mountains in the distance and the charming river in the near view. 👍The architectural complex here integrates elements of two generations. The entire complex is composed of temples, palaces, towers, etc., with a majestic momentum. Among them, the Palace of the Underworld is regarded as the core of the Ghost City. If you look closely at the details of these palaces, many sculptures are really ingenious and extremely exquisite. 🧭When to go: Relatively speaking, the scenery is best in summer and autumn, and it is appropriate to go in September and October. ⏱️What time to go: The scenic area has fixed business hours, but it is still recommended to go early in the morning when the air and light are best. ✅ Must-visit spots: This scenic area is designed in a long strip, and you can visit in order. The must-visit spots include: Mingshan Archway, Hengha Shrine, Shanxiao Pavilion, Baoen Temple, Yaowang Temple, Caishen Temple, Naihe Bridge, etc. 🏠Facilities: The scenic area is particularly mature and has everything. If you are too lazy to climb the mountain, you can take a cable car, but that way you will miss some scenic spots halfway up the mountain. There are many specialty shops and restaurants at the foot of the mountain, and it's also nice to look at the scenery by the river after eating. 📷 Photography tips: 1. The view is wide, so you can take pictures of both scenery and people. 2. Compose with color as the center, it will be more comfortable to shoot buildings. 3. It's best to shoot with the light, the effect is very good. 4. If you want to produce big pictures, you really need more time. ‼️Those must-see TIPS before going to check in: 1. No matter what, you need to climb the mountain, so prepare your physical strength in advance. 2. The sun on the mountain is very hot, so you still need to pay attention to heatstroke prevention. 3. Be sure to listen to the tour guide and don't run around. 4. Respect local customs and habits when visiting.

Three Gorges·Life on the edge of the cliff

Tired of the hustle and bustle of the city, wanting to feel the green mountains and rivers, the Three Gorges family is really worth recommending. The Yangtze River under the cliffs on both sides is really really green, and the wooden houses on the edge of the cliff have a taste of Chinese ink painting. The photo effect of the beautiful women who like to take pictures is great! There will be traditional shadow puppet performances, wedding customs and other performances at the scenic spot, and the wild macaques in the mountains interact with you! Of course, if you want to see the magnificent landscape in a cursory way, it is not recommended here. The subjective feeling is that it is more suitable to feel the charm of nature here, and the refreshing and quiet feeling brought by the green mountains and clear water. Tourist route: Ticket office transfer car→Dock by boat to reach the scenic spot The end of the scenic spot tour by boat back to the starting dock→Take the transfer car back to the tourist center and go home by yourself. Why do you need a transfer car because there is no parking place at the dock, you can also stop at the local villagers' courtyard, but you need to consume at the other's home, self-driving can choose by yourself, the road from the tourist center to the dock is basically winding up and down the mountain, there are many bends and cliffs) ...Strategy... Ticket: 200 yuan/person, including scenic spot tickets, transfer cars, ferry tickets, including items are necessary items in the scenic spot Transportation: We drove to the scenic spot tourist center (recommended for self-driving and group tours) The scenic spot is in the mountains, and public transportation to the scenic spot is not convenient Food: There are local specialty restaurants along the way (said to be highly recommended, but I didn't go to experience this time) There are also many small shops selling grilled sausages, grilled fish, fried chicken chops and other snacks. If you have conditions, you can bring some snacks yourself, such as the Qingjiang small wild fish, small cakes, and mineral water in the local supermarket. The scenic spot is 5 yuan/bottle, you can judge whether you need to bring it yourself. Accommodation: Self-driving can stay in the homestay next to the scenic spot, or consider staying near Yiling city, the city is more convenient, mainly because it takes about 30 minutes to drive from Yiling to the tourist center, not far. Other small suggestions: 1 The scenic spot will not accept entry after 15 o'clock, it is recommended to arrive in the morning 2 The last return boat is at 5 pm, you need to arrive at the end before this, normally you can play enough if you enter the park in the morning 3 The macaques are not far from the end of the scenic spot (Longjinxi Scenic Spot) The most monkeys are at 9 o'clock in the morning and more than 1 o'clock in the afternoon, when the monkey brother comes down the mountain to wait for food, at other times you can only see scattered monkeys, there are several hundred monkeys in the scenic spot. 4 The dock boat is every 30 minutes, you can get a scenic spot guide map in the dock waiting hall, which is convenient for checking after entering the mountain 5 After getting off the dock, you can choose to walk up the mountain or take the cable car up the mountain (an additional 30 yuan per person) We chose to take the cable car, so that the whole journey is not too tired, the back is all downhill and parallel roads.

Checking in at the Xiling Gorge of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River

Xiling Gorge, named after the Xiling Mountain in Yichang City, starts from the Xiangxi River in the west of Zigui County, Hubei Province, and ends at Nanjinguan in Yichang, with a total length of 76 kilometers. Historically, it is known for its winding waterway, strange rocks, numerous rapids, and dangerous boating. It is the most dangerous gorge in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. From top to bottom, it is divided into 4 sections: Xiangxi Valley, Upper Xiling Gorge Valley, Miaonan Valley, Lower Xiling Gorge Valley. Along the river are Badong County of Enshi Prefecture, Zigui County of Yichang City, and Xiling District. Ouyang Xiu, a famous politician and writer of the Northern Song Dynasty, left the famous sentence 'Xiling's landscape is the best in the world' for this. On August 7, 2020, Hubei Province announced that all A-level tourist attractions in the province will be free of charge for tourists nationwide. This event started on August 8 and will continue until the end of the year, with Xiling Gorge included.

The Yangtze River Three Gorges in Yichang City, Hubei Province, the light boat has passed thousands of mountains

Chinese name Yangtze River Three Gorges Geographical location Chongqing City, Yiling District, Yichang City, Hubei Province Climate conditions Subtropical monsoon climate zone Opening hours Open all day Ticket price Free Famous attractions Qutang Gorge, Wu Gorge, Xiling Gorge Length 193 kilometers Recommended play time 2-3 days Suitable for playing season Spring and autumn The Yangtze River Three Gorges starts from Baidi City in Fengjie County, Chongqing City, and ends at Nanjinguan in Yichang City, Hubei Province. The whole journey is surrounded by beautiful scenery and full of artistic atmosphere. The Yangtze River has become a symbol of China, and the completion of the Three Gorges Dam in Yichang has attracted countless Chinese and foreign tourists. You can carefully taste Li Bai's artistic conception of 'the ape's voice on both banks cannot stop, and the light boat has passed thousands of mountains', which has a unique flavor! Seeing is believing. 🌿I went to the Three Gorges and was completely conquered by the beautiful scenery here. I admired the magnificence of Qutang Gorge, understood the beauty of Wu Gorge, and explored the danger of Xiling Gorge. Isn't the most beautiful mountain and river scenery in China here? · 🌊The surging Yangtze River, flowing from west to east through the Three Gorges, nourishes the Chinese culture for thousands of years, and also breeds the unique human and natural landscape of the Three Gorges. The ancient Fengdu Ghost City, the culturally rich Baidi City, the majestic Three Gorges Dam, and the poetic Three Gorges people, every attraction surprises me! . ⛰️Attractions recommendation ①Qutang Gorge The river channel in the gorge is narrow, the narrowest place is only a few tens of meters, which makes the cliffs on both sides cling to each other, adding a bit of majesty. The most shocking is the Kui Gate. The Baiyan Mountain and Chijia Mountain on both sides rise from the ground, towering into the clouds, like a city gate set up by heaven and earth, tightly bundling the surging river into a gully. Seeing this scene, you can understand why Du Fu wrote 'All the waters will meet in Fuling, and Qutang will fight for one door.' . ②Wu Gorge There are many strange peaks and cliffs in the gorge, sometimes the mountains are in front of you, like the river is blocked; in a blink of an eye, the peaks turn and the water veins are connected. The roaring river constantly changes direction, making it dazzling. Coupled with the misty fog, it really makes people feel like they have entered a fairyland. . 👉🏻About transportation 🛳️Take the waterway and take a cruise from Chongqing. This is a more relaxed and comfortable way. Eat, live, and play on the boat all the way, without leaving the room, you can see the scenery of the Three Gorges. When making a travel guide, I also found that some friends take the land route, which I personally think is too troublesome, especially making a guide is too brain-burning, and I have to arrange hotel accommodation, attraction tickets and so on. After comparison, I decisively chose the cruise. ~ ⚠️How to choose a boat? When I first saw the Three Gorges cruise ship, I was shocked. I didn't expect that there were more than 40 cruise ships on the hundreds of miles of the Three Gorges, which really dazzled me. After doing some guides, I found a few good boats and recommended them to everyone: ♦️Cruise ships suitable for taking babies Yangtze River No. 3: The big boat in the water is regarded as the ceiling of the Three Gorges cruise ship industry. It is equipped with children's playgrounds, open-air swimming pools and other rich entertainment venues, and more delicious Chinese and Western buffets. . ♦️Cruise ships suitable for taking parents Yangtze River Exploration: High-end exquisite cruise ship, a classic example of small and beautiful. The passenger capacity does not exceed 124 people, quiet and not noisy. Yangtze River No. 1: You can directly pass through the ship lift and Gezhouba ship lock, unique route design, full of feelings, loved by elderly tourists. · ♦️Cruise ships suitable for young people Kaiyue: A super-large ship of 17,000 tons, with a blue-tone decoration style, fashionable and dynamic, delicious buffet, the first choice for young people. · 🍃The 700-mile Three Gorges is magnificent and varied, with stacked green forests, birds and flowers, vast blue waves, and high mountains and flowing water! If you are tired of the hustle and bustle of the world, why not take a Three Gorges cruise and come here for a visit. Walk into such green mountains and green waters, throw away the troubles of the world, and enjoy a moment of tranquility and beauty!
