Overlook the magnificent sea of clouds at the top of the Three Gorges.
After the rain, the top of the Three Gorges is shrouded in mist. Overlooking from the sky, the sea of clouds surges like a tide, rolling and undulating. The golden glow of the setting sun is reflected by the green mountains on both sides and the green river, as if you are traveling in a painting.
❤Recommended reason:
The Three Gorges Top Scenic Area is located on the top of Chijia Mountain, above Kuimen. The scenic area starts from Zuofangcao in the north, overlooks Baiyan Mountain in the south, looks at Baidi Poetry City in the west, and is adjacent to Wushan Airport in the east, stretching for more than 10 kilometers.
The Three Gorges Top Scenic Area is named after Du Fu's "Kuizhou Song Ten Jue" "Chijia Baiyan is all piercing the sky, and the lanes are intertwined with the top of the mountain".
🌟Highlights:
The highest point of the scenic area is 1388 meters above sea level, which is the highest point and the most beautiful point of the physical form of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. When you come to this place, the clouds and mist are lingering, and the rosy clouds are permeating; looking around, the mountains are continuous, and the peaks are stacked; overlooking from the sky, the jade belt Yangtze River is winding and floating.
The background pattern of the 10 yuan RMB is Kuimen, and there is a sharp mountain that is the highest, which is Chijia Mountain, and the Three Gorges Top Viewing Platform is here.
Overlooking from the viewing platform, you can see the beautiful scenery of Qutang Gorge, feel the momentum of the mountains and mountains, and the majestic rolling Yangtze River, it's just like a fairyland!
Step on the glass plank road, feel the peerless artistic conception of "I will be on the top, and I will see all the mountains", and a "suspense, danger, surprise, and wonder" intertwined landscape painting is in sight.

Q. Joseph 40
The light boat has passed through countless mountains
Ancient Shu had four wonders, known as 'Kuimen the most majestic, Jianmen the most perilous, Emei the most beautiful, and Qingcheng the most secluded'.
1️⃣ Baidicheng
Recommendation rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Suggested visiting time: More than 1 day
Ticket: 🎫100 yuan
Location: 📌 Baidicheng Scenic Area on the north bank of the Yangtze River at the mouth of Qutang Gorge
Baidicheng has thousands of steps, two-thirds of which are submerged underwater, with only three hundred steps remaining.
At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, this city was built. Because a well in the city often emitted white vapors, resembling a white dragon, it was given its current name.
💥 Baidicheng is well-known for the story of Liu Bei entrusting his son to others, a must-visit for fans of the Three Kingdoms. Baidicheng is well-preserved, and besides the statues of Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and others, there are also many precious inscriptions and steles from literati of various dynasties.

2️⃣ Kuizhou Museum
Recommendation rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Visiting time: 2-3 hours
A national second-level museum, 4A tourist attraction. In addition to Tang tri-colored ceramic figures and Ming and Qing Buddha statues unearthed locally, the exhibition hall uses a large number of photos to recreate the old Fengjie city (the old city of Fengjie permanently disappeared due to the rising waters of the Three Gorges Dam), covering a time span from the late Qing Dynasty to the beginning of this century. Precious photos of the first person from Chongqing Nankai Wharf, Li Delue, and his wife (who also often traveled to Fengjie by boat on the Yangtze River) are also on display here.

3⃣️ Kuimen Chijialou (Watching the river and teasing monkeys 🐒)
Recommendation rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Visiting time: 1 hour
⚠️Highly recommended⚠️ You'll regret it if you don't go! A ten yuan RMB photo spot, an immersive experience of Li Bai's 'Early Departure from Baidicheng' with 'the endless cries of monkeys on both banks'. Many notes indicate that the best position to view Qutang Gorge is from Baidicheng (which I disagree with ❌, because you can't see the front of Kuimen from the top of Baidicheng and can't feel the majesty of Kuimen). The best angle should be from Chijialou at the mouth of the gorge. Chijialou has a large number of wild macaques 🐒 (there were about 20 when I visited), and most of them are very civilized and friendly. There is also feed for sale at 5 yuan 💰 per pack. You can enjoy teasing the monkeys and admiring the river without delay.
-
4⃣️ Summit of the Three Gorges
Recommendation rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Visiting time: 4 hours
The best position to overlook Qutang Gorge. Friends who do not drive need to take a shuttle bus from Fengjie High-speed Railway Station to get there (9:00-9:30-10:00), and the return trip also requires a shuttle bus. Suitable for friends who like to climb high and look far, ⚠️those with acrophobia⚠️ choose carefully.
The Summit of the Three Gorges and Baidicheng are far from the new county city of Fengjie. If you want to return on the same day, the time will be very tight, and you will need to make a choice.

Chongqing Travel | The 'Baidi City' in Li Bai's Poetic Paintings
You must visit Fengjie! Witness the cloud-shrouded mountains and seas, admire the magnificent beauty of the Qutang Gorge, the first of the Three Gorges, and seek the ancient Baidi City described by Li Bai in 'Departing at dawn from Baidi amid colorful clouds, I return to Jiangling within a single day.'
History intertwines with modernity; from ancient times to the present, this place has been the crown jewel in the hearts of literati and poets. They have always depicted the Three Gorges with intense emotion and vivid colors, so it is recommended to travel to the peak of the Three Gorges, Baidi City, and the Kuizhou Museum.
At the peak of the Three Gorges, you can overlook the entire Yangtze River and the majestic landscape of Qutang Gorge. It is suggested to visit the viewing platform after reaching the summit.
Kuizhou Museum: A treasure trove of a museum with three exhibition halls, introducing the millennia-old cultural history of Fengjie's Three Gorges from the perspectives of warfare, poetry, and scenery.
Baidi City: The Baidi City written about by Li Bai, the western gateway of the Yangtze River's Three Gorges, the scenic background on the 10 RMB note, where Liu Bei once entrusted his legacy. Its historical significance is extraordinary and it is well worth a visit.
📍 About Transportation: To get to Baidi City and the peak of the Three Gorges, you can take a shuttle bus travel line or drive yourself, both are very convenient.

Checked in at the summit of the Three Gorges
At the top of the Three Gorges, I experienced the magical charm of nature! The scenery along the way was picturesque and intoxicating. I also saw the legendary Goddess Peak, which was stunningly beautiful. Hiking through the summit of the Three Gorges was exhausting, but it was a rewarding experience! I got to appreciate the grandeur of nature and also felt the power of teamwork. I will definitely come again!

Chongqing | There probably isn't a more stunning landscape than this
'Red armor and white salt both pierce the sky, asking Yan Liao to wrap around and join the mountain peak'
-
The first time I encountered the Three Gorges was in a textbook.
At that time, I felt no sense of the grandeur and peril described.
Now that I am here,
I truly understand what 'Kuimen is the most majestic under heaven' means!❗️

The Foodie Explorer s Log
Muyawushan Cliffside Guesthouse - worth a second visit!
I watched the sunrise on the edge of the cliff, and I could reach out and pick the sea of clouds and rain in Wushan, just a short distance from Muyawu.
Muyawushan is the ceiling of the guesthouses in my heart.
Muyawushan is located in Wushan County, Chongqing, on the cliff plateau of the Yangtze River.
The housekeeper Xiao Yu here is handsome, considerate and shy, and the child king waiter Yanzi is sweet and can make Kloris.
The reliable driver master actually lived in Lin'an, the mysterious barista made us a latte with nuts, and the boss lady was very kind and was our Yunyun.
Here, we feel the sea of clouds floating and sinking, the sunrise in the east, the top of the Three Gorges, the beautiful red leaves, the sky ranch, the infinity pool, the rivers and lakes, the lovebirds, and the Wushan goddess full of aura... Muyawu also has the Wuyawu Art Museum, Yunhai Cafe, Guanyun Platform, Wilderness Theater, you can participate in many activities, of course, the food must not be missed, coffee, Crispy Li Restaurant, Yunhai Tea Shop, Wushan Grilled Fish, fermented rice yogurt, spicy wontons and noodles, and Chongqing hot pot... There are too many surprises and exclaims.

In Chongqing! Accidentally entered the fairyland sea of clouds
Wushan 3 days 2 nights strategy
【✈️About transportation】Chongqing to Yichang can take the waterway, cruise through the Three Gorges, this time I tried the land route, really fragrant, you can climb to the top of the Three Gorges peaks, and can stay in the towns along the Yangtze River, highly recommended. From Chongqing to Wushan by high-speed rail 2h20m💰169
【🎡About the itinerary】
I joined the Silk Family small group, per capita💰1538, 3 days and 2 nights Three Gorges essence, including scenic spot tickets, private car pick-up and drop-off, two nights accommodation.
Day1~
👉Wushan, Goddess Peak (🤔Chongqing is still good, climbing is either an elevator or a cable car, one step in place. The height difference of several hundred meters is solved by the elevator in a few seconds. It's just that it's hard to find the Goddess Peak without the locals pointing it out, it's a small peak)
👉Night tour of Wuxia, watch the performance "Light of the Three Gorges"
(The night tour boat is super value, full program, the content is exquisite, related to the light show on the shore, the final projection short film on the cliff. From the ancient witch culture to the poetry Three Gorges Bashu history, and then to the modern Three Gorges spirit, after watching the blood boiling. Qu Yuan's appearance is the most amazing, seeking the goddess in the long road, with the light, the ideal of a thousand years is lit.)
Day2~
👉Take a big boat to tour the Little Three Gorges, change to a small boat to tour the Little Little Three Gorges
👉Visit the county town, eat Wushan grilled fish
(Here at the end of November - early December is the Red Leaf Festival, then the maple leaves of the Three Gorges will be red, this time came a bit early, here is really suitable for sword flight, fairy drama to shoot. Myopia should wear👓, otherwise you can't see the hanging coffin, only see the cave, can't see the monkey, only hear the monkey sound)
Day3~
👉Top of the Three Gorges (Take the cable car for 20 minutes to go up the mountain, see the red leaves, sea of clouds and mountains, or you can hike up the mountain from the Baidi City trail at the foot of the mountain, about 5 hours in total)
👉Qutang Gorge, Baidi City (Du Fu wrote here the wind is high and the monkeys are sad, the sand is clear and the birds fly back. Next to his statue is the Kui Gate, the entrance of the Qutang Gorge, the same background picture of the ten yuan RMB.)
【📷About the machine position】Next to the glass viewing platform where you can blow the horn at the top of the Three Gorges, there is a hiking route down the mountain for 5 hours, just a few steps down is a good machine position, here is a beautiful picture of the mountains, rivers and maple leaves in the same frame!

At the top of the Three Gorges/ the autumn color is getting thicker, unparalleled beauty!
The top of the Three Gorges is located in Fengjie, Chongqing, the gateway of Qutang Gorge, the location of the background image on the ten yuan RMB, and also the place where Li Bai wrote about setting off early from Baidi City. Every December, the mountains are full of red leaves, along the mountains and rivers, it is the best route for hiking in autumn and winter. Starting from Baidi City, take a boat to the opposite bank, and then hike to the top. The elevation is over a thousand meters, the whole journey is nine kilometers. Along the way, there are mountain monkeys, the blue waves of the Yangtze River, continuous mountains, dazzling red leaves. After reaching the top, it is the top of the Three Gorges, with beautiful mountains and rivers, worth experiencing. The Zhengyu High-speed Railway passes through Fengjie, both Chongqing and Wuhan can be reached directly. After arriving at the station, the city area is about 20 kilometers from the starting point of Baidi City, and about 50 kilometers from the end point of the top of the Three Gorges. There are buses to reach, but there are not many shifts, it is recommended to charter a car.
