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.

Divided into the Dam Scenic Area and the Ship Lift. Visiting the dam and taking a cruise to experience the ship lift are two different places, requiring a combination of car and boat travel.

Impressive, my country! The Three Gorges Dam truly amazed me
|||.
The mighty river flows eastward, with its surging torrents; the great transformation of the Three Gorges has created a human marvel.
Today, following the verses of the poet Li Bai, I took a cruise to see the Three Gorges Dam. After passing through the Wu Gorge, Qutang Gorge, and Xiling Gorge, and admiring the beautiful mountains on both sides, I finally stood before this national treasure.
Why is the Three Gorges Dam considered a national treasure? There are mainly three types of dams in the world: for drinking water, power generation, and transportation. Our Three Gorges Dam not only combines all three but also plays a role in flood control.
🗓️Tour Tips:
The Three Gorges Dam tourist area in Yichang, Hubei, started construction in 1994. It integrates flood control, power generation, navigation, and water resource utilization. It is the main project of the Three Gorges Hydropower Station, the core landscape of the Three Gorges Dam tourist area, and one of the largest water conservancy hub buildings in the world today.
✔️Free to visit, real-name system for entry, but a tour bus ticket of 35 yuan is required.
✔️The entire scenic area is divided into three parts: Tanziling, the 185 Platform, and the Flood Diversion Memorial Park.
✔️There's no need to go to the highest point of Tanziling; it's crowded, and the lower platform is just as good for taking photos.
✔️Be sure to listen to the explanation in the sand table area below; it's educational and provides historical insight.
⚠️Special reminder, don't skimp on the 10 yuan; after leaving Tanziling, take an electric cart. Walking on your own is meaningless and tiring.
⛴️About the Cruise:
The Chongqing-Yichang section is arguably the most famous and beautiful stretch of the Yangtze River Three Gorges. You can take the Liangjiang cruise. I took the Century Glory from Chongqing Chaotianmen, a super five-star experience, 4 days and 3 nights, Fengdu Ghost City - Zhong County "Three Kingdoms Smoke" - Fengjie White Emperor City - Wushan Goddess Creek - Yichang Three Gorges Dam.
📸Photography Tips:
1️⃣The advantage of a telephoto lens is evident here; the distant mountains are particularly beautiful in the mist.
2️⃣If the lighting conditions are good, it's recommended to set the aperture around f8-12.
3️⃣Pay special attention, drones are prohibited from flying, and you can't even bring them!

Qingjiang River Gallery Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
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

Although it's a long holiday, there were still single-digit parking spaces available at the ticket checkpoint parking lot at nine in the morning, and there might be even fewer people on regular days. Parking fee is 5 yuan per day.

Travel agencies usually choose Route A, which is the large loop shown in the last picture. We chose the smaller loop of Route B, climbed the mountain for about an hour, shouted through the mountains, passed through the Tujia tactical formation, enjoyed the aerial walk and bicycle performance, went to the Tanhua Lang dock, took a boat through the Xianrenzhai scenic area without disembarking, and returned directly to the dock, a round trip of two hours.
📝 Note tips:
1. The ticket used the Hubei Huimin card, which is written for Route A, but Route B can also be chosen on site, and the boat ticket purchased on site is 55 yuan, with different tickets.
2. For self-driving, navigate to the ticket checkpoint, do not stop at the ticket booth, and you can also buy tickets at the checkpoint.
🌟 Highlights:
1. Beautiful scenery
2. Not too tiring for the legs, you can board the boat right out of the checkpoint parking lot, the roads are spacious, and the journey is not too long.

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.
