The reason why the Three Gorges is called the "three" gorge is because there are three Shaanxi valleys between the east of Fengjie County in Chongqing and Yichang City in Hubei Province: Qutang Gorge, Wu Gorge and Xiling Gorge. Qutang Gorge is the shortest and narrowest of the Three Gorges, only 8 kilometers. The Wu Gorge is the most beautiful place in the Three Gorges. It is known as Junxiu and is 45 kilometers long. The Xiling Gorge is the most dangerous place in the Three Gorges, with a total length of 76 kilometers. . If you are traveling to Yichang, Hubei, you must take a boat to see the dangerous peaks of the Xiling Gorge and the rolling Yangtze River. Xiling Gorge starts from Xiangxikou East to Nanjin Pass in the west, and is named after Xiling Mountain in Yichang. There are four landscapes in Xiling Shaanxi: Bingshu Baojian Gorge, Niuhe Mafeixia, Qiling Gorge and Dengying Gorge. The most well-known attraction is the Three Gorges Family tour in Dengyingxia by boat.

I had the fortune to visit the Three Gorges Dam, both on its surface and inside

I once had the opportunity to visit the Three Gorges Dam on and inside. I took a cruise from Chongqing to Zigui Port, then drove to the Three Gorges. The Three Gorges Dam was not as massive as I had imagined, but its length was very long, and I saw several large units inside. I also saw how cargo ships and passenger ships passed through the power station, and how a 3000-ton cargo ship was lifted by machinery... It was truly an eye-opening experience. The ship we were on was the Gold 1, the space in the rooms was not as large as in hotels, and the bathrooms were also quite small, especially the bedding was very damp, but the scenery along the way was really stunning! If you have time, you can go and experience it for yourself.

Really, do I need to go through security check to visit the Three Gorges Dam?

There are three viewing points open to tourists in the Three Gorges Dam tourist area: Tanziling, 185 Platform, and the Stream-Cutting Memorial Park. So how to visit correctly and save time? There are generally two ways to visit: 1. Independent travel. Drive or choose other means of transportation to reach the scenic spot. Among them, self-driving tourists need to apply for a pass at the reception station with relevant documents according to regulations when driving into the Three Gorges dedicated road. 2. Three Gorges cruise ship, the project included in the cruise ship includes the Three Gorges Dam tourist area. Now let's talk about the overall visit process: First of all, the ticket, the Three Gorges Dam tourist area is a free scenic spot, there is no ticket fee, tourists only need to pay for their own transportation and sightseeing car fees (round-trip transportation car 35, sightseeing car 30). 1. This is due to the special nature of the dam scenic spot, no matter which way you enter, you need to change to the tourist center's round-trip bus to go to the core scenic spot. 2. Similarly, here, security checks will be conducted on tourists, and some items that are not allowed to be brought in can be stored in the tourist center, and can be picked up after the tour is over. First stop: Tanziling. Tanziling is the highest point overlooking the Three Gorges Project. When you climb to the 5A-level tourist scenic spot Tanziling viewing point, you can overlook the entire Three Gorges Project and experience the heroic feelings of the poem 'Cut off Wushan clouds and rain, high gorges out of Pinghu'. Second stop: 185 Platform. As the name suggests, it is because the dam is 185 meters high. From Tanziling to the 185 platform, you can walk there in about fifteen minutes, or you can choose to take an electric car for 10 yuan; looking down from the 185 platform, you can feel the greatness and pride of the Chinese nation and enter the near-dam viewing point, where you can feel the majestic and magnificent dam at close range. Third stop: Stream-Cutting Memorial Park. Come to the Stream-Cutting Memorial Park to appreciate the perfect combination of man and nature, as if you are in the beautiful scenery of 'mountains and rivers connected, heaven and man united'. The Stream-Cutting Memorial Park is the first domestic water conservancy project theme park with the theme of the Three Gorges Project's stream-cutting, integrating sightseeing, popular science, leisure and other functions. Some small tips: 1. There is a Three Gorges ship lift inside the dam, where you can experience the feeling of the ship rising with the water. If you are self-driving, it is recommended to book and purchase online in advance; if you are on a Three Gorges cruise ship, you can ask the ship to help buy it. 2. The scenic area is still relatively large, it is recommended to wear comfortable shoes to play, self-driving friends need to consult the scenic area in advance, bring relevant documents for registration and inspection. 3. The Three Gorges Dam tourist area is a very educational place, I hope that all friends who go to visit can calm down, appreciate this world-famous water conservancy project, see the great tools of the great country, and be proud of the motherland!

Yichang self-driving two-day tour

Nanny-level strategy!. 💫I stayed at the Kerry Select River View Hotel on the night, next to Wanda. Many hotels play the "river view" feature. The front desk service of this hotel is particularly worth mentioning, their enthusiasm and politeness make me feel warm💞. When asking them to send items, the interaction is full of friendly greetings, and there will be no embarrassment at all. The price is affordable, and you can drive in and out for free all day until 11:45 the next morning. If it is overdue, you only need to ask the front desk to swipe the card, which is convenient and easy! To the Cool Gallery, Three Gorges Dam, Three Gorges People, all within 1 hour's drive, the scenery along the way is unparalleled😍. 💫However, be aware! The Three Gorges Waterfall has been closed due to recent heavy rains, and we still cannot enter after buying tickets😫. Please be sure to call the scenic spot or pay attention to its public account to inquire about the opening situation before going. 💫As for the Cool Gallery, we chose Line B, with a total price of 135 yuan/person, including tickets and boat tickets. After climbing the mountain to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the mountains, then take a boat back, easy and joyful😂! We arrived at more than 2 pm and took the boat at 4 pm, which was convenient and fast. Warm reminder: The last boat is at 4:30 in the afternoon, don't miss it. Line B can climb mountains and take boats, recommended👍. 💫Before going to the Three Gorges Dam, don't forget to apply for a vehicle pass on the public account, otherwise it will be very troublesome to get off halfway😓. I made an appointment in advance, and it was basically released immediately as soon as a batch was opened. Note that the post is guarded by armed police, do not take pictures, otherwise you will be seriously questioned and checked. 💫The Three Gorges Dam has clear road signs to guide tourists to the bus transfer center. Don't be fooled by the roadside cattle. They will guide you off the right path and recommend buying high-priced tickets. We chose a ticket for 65 yuan, which can take the scenic area bus. You can also choose to take an electric car, the price is reasonable but shorter, walking is also good, about 15 minutes🚶‍♂️. The place to buy tickets is not far away, and you can feel more fun by exploring on your own, study more strategies, and avoid unnecessary expenses. 💫For dinner, we tasted Wang's cold shrimp, which tasted okay. But if you are not in love with this kind of food, you may not be able to notice the difference between its cold shrimp and others. Enjoy food in "Daijie Restaurant", simple but delicious, overall full and return. Pepper chicken🍗, scrambled eggs with leeks🥚, beef offal hot pot🥘, stir-fried amaranth🥗, fat intestine silk, all down only 252 yuan. A big highlight is that the business is booming. If you come late, you may need to wait. It is recommended to reserve a seat in advance to free up space. Don't forget to park your car on the side of the road🚗.

The Three Gorges Waterfall, with its healing scenery, is very photogenic

The Three Gorges Waterfall, originally known as the Baiguo Tree Waterfall, is acclaimed as the third largest among China's 'Top Ten Famous Waterfalls'. It serves as a natural geological museum displaying various geological eras such as the Sinian, Ordovician, and Cambrian periods. It is also one of the rare national geological parks in the world that combines canyons, caves, landscapes, and fossil culture. Outside the scenic area, the sun blazes fiercely, but it becomes very cool once you enter. The stream is 5 kilometers long, with more than 30 waterfalls distributed along the way. Its most distinctive feature is the ability to walk through the waterfalls, experiencing the majestic and grand curtain of water in the cave. Be sure to prepare a good quality long raincoat and slippers or sandals! Umbrellas are useless! A waterproof bag for your phone is essential!!! In a word: Worthy of being among the top ten! Worthy of the 5A rating! Exciting and fun! Suitable for all ages!

Yichang , China 2018 🇨🇳

We cruised through the Three Gorges and found them beautiful and fascinating to see. Our trip included a small boat excursion up a side channel, which was quite lovely. The scenery reminded me somewhat of the Milford Sound, with the mountains plunging directly into the river. The water level was raised about 170 meters by the dam project, displacing 1.3 million residents. Three Lesser Gorges From the boat we transferred to a ferry and then when the gorges became smaller as we headed up stream we switched to a sampan. There is little doubt that some of the attractions along the sampan tour are staged but that doesn't mean they are bad and the scenery is pretty special. The cliff burial caves are also interesting

Don't ever come to Qingjiang! It's really too beautiful, you'll regret not coming, haha

Weekend relaxation with the sisters heading to The gallery, as the name suggests, is about appreciating the beauty of Qingjiang in the form of viewing paintings~ Observing Qingjiang is like strolling through a 'gallery' and admiring the works of nature.

We chose Route A. The journey didn't have as many stops as shown on the ticket, mainly appreciating the scenery of Changyang by boat. There will be a stop at where friends who like hiking can give it a try, the scenery is really beautiful~ There's also the iconic building of the Tujia White Tiger, and if you're lucky, you can see the all-white White Tiger sculpture~ The return trip is also by boat, be sure to prepare water and food in advance, has many shops and restaurants, but after all, it's a scenic area, so the prices are slightly higher than usual. It's up to personal choice. The main route of A: Boat sightseeing → Zhongli Mountain → Boat return trip Some attractions that were originally accessible are now cancelled because the water shore is too low for boats to dock easily~ Be sure to choose a sunny day Hope everyone has fun at Qingjiang Gallery

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.
