The Three Gorges is a must-visit in a lifetime, so moving it will make you cry! Crossing the Yangtze River, viewing the Three Gorges

The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River start from Baidicheng in Fengjie County, Chongqing, in the west, and stretch to Nanjinguan in Yichang City, Hubei, in the east, covering a total length of 193 kilometers. Along the way, the banks are lined with steep peaks and sheer cliffs, with Qutang Gorge, Wu Gorge, and Xiling Gorge following each other from west to east. Within the territory of Wushan County, Chongqing, there are the Lesser Three Gorges of the Daning River and the Mini Three Gorges of the Madu River. Along the Yangtze River within Chongqing's boundaries, there are scenic spots such as the 'Underwater Forest of Steles' Baiheliang, Fengdu Ghost City known as the 'Home of Eastern Divine Comedy', the uniquely styled Shibaozhai, 'The Splendid Ba-Shu Scenery' Zhang Fei Temple, the Entrustment Hall of the Shu Han Emperor Liu Bei, and the Longgupo Wushan Cultural Site. 'The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River' is one of the top ten cultural symbols of Chongqing, and 'The Three Gorges - Kuimen' is the landscape pattern on the back of the fifth series of RMB 10 yuan banknotes. Three Gorges tourism has its particularities, such as the attractions being scattered along both banks, and the rugged mountains on both sides are not suitable for driving, so traveling through the Three Gorges by water is the most ideal. Generally, when referring to touring the Three Gorges, it implies taking a boat unless other modes of sightseeing are specifically mentioned. The most comfortable way to enjoy the Three Gorges is to take a cruise, savor the river views, and disembark at each famous site for sightseeing, which not only saves the trouble of changing hotels every day but also allows you to enjoy a different landscape outside your window every day.
