The scenery of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, a hidden gem, is so beautiful!

The scenery of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, a hidden gem, is so beautiful! Went to the Three Gorges and was completely conquered by the beautiful scenery here. Admired the magnificence of Qutang Gorge, appreciated the beauty of Wu Gorge, explored the danger of Xiling Gorge, and this is the most beautiful mountain and river scenery in China, right? The rushing water of the Yangtze River flows from west to east through the Three Gorges, nourishing China's millennium culture and giving birth to the unique human and natural landscapes of the Three Gorges. The ancient and mysterious Fengdu Ghost City, the culturally rich Baidi City, the magnificent Three Gorges Dam, and the picturesque homes of the Three Gorges all surprised me with their beauty! Attraction recommendation: ① Qutang Gorge The river channel in the canyon is narrow, with a width of only a few tens of meters at its narrowest point, making the cliffs on both sides cling to each other, adding a touch of grandeur. The most breathtaking is Kuimen. The white rock mountains and Chijia Mountain on both sides rise from the ground, towering into the clouds, like a city gate created by heaven and earth, tightly binding the surging river into a gorge. Only when you see this scene can you understand why Du Fu wrote "Countless waters converge into one in Fuling, and Qutang Gorge contends for the first." 2. Wu Gorge Within the canyon, strange peaks and steep cliffs stand tall, sometimes blocking the view of the mountains like a river barrier; in the blink of an eye, the peaks turn and the waterways connect. The roaring river constantly changes direction, overwhelming the senses. Coupled with the misty fog, it truly gives one a feeling of being lost in a fairyland. Punching in at the background of ten yuan RMB - Qutang Gorge, feeling the breathtaking beauty of the Three Gorges, loving the pure and simple life here, and being moved by the beautiful and magnificent mountains and rivers of our motherland~~ If you take the waterway, you can take a cruise from Chongqing. This is a relatively relaxed and comfortable way to travel. You can eat, sleep, and play on the boat throughout the journey, and you don't have to leave your room to enjoy the scenery of the Three Gorges. About how to choose a boat? At first sight of the Three Gorges cruise ship, I was shocked. I never expected that there would be more than 40 cruise ships on the hundreds of miles of the Three Gorges, which was really dazzling. After doing some research, I found several good ships and recommend them to everyone: Suitable boat for taking children on board. Yangtze No.3: A large ship launched in 2022, regarded as the ceiling of the Three Gorges cruise industry. Equipped with entertainment facilities such as a children's playground and an outdoor swimming pool, as well as delicious Chinese and Western-style buffets. Boat ride suitable for taking parents Yangtze Exploration: A high-end and exquisite cruise ship, a model of small but beautiful. The passenger capacity does not exceed 124 people, quiet and not noisy. Yangtze River No.1: With direct access through ship lifts and Gezhouba Dam locks, its unique route design is full of emotions and deeply loved by elderly tourists. Boat suitable for young people to ride on. Hyatt: A super large ship of 17,000 tons, decorated in blue tones with a stylish and vibrant atmosphere. The buffet is delicious and young people's first choice. The magnificent and colorful Three Gorges stretch for 700 miles, with lush forests, birds singing and flowers blooming, 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 for a visit. Step into this green mountains and rivers, let go of worldly worries, and enjoy a moment of peace and beauty!
