Three Gorges

The Yangtze River, the biggest river in China,the third longgest in the World, cleaved a path and made its way through the mountains to have formed these uniquely beautiful, magnificent, and wonderful gorges-the Three Gorges: Qutang Gorge, Wu Gorge, and Xiling Gorge. Sandwiched between the mountains on the mid part of the Yangtze River, the Three Gorges runs across Fengjie and Wushan Mountain in Sichuan Province and Badong, Zigui, and Yichang in Hubei Province, extending 193 kilometers long.

The Three Gorges have showed the magic workings of nature with their marvelous and beautiful mountains and waters.

Along the banks of the Yangtze River, the high peaks rise in emerald verdure, overhangingrocks tower into the clouds, dangerous cliffs seem to reach the sky, rocks are jagged and grotesque, waterfalls are spraying and sparkling, clouds and mists are curling, rapids and torrents are seething, and fierce waves are Gorge, deep, serene and exquisite; while Xiling Gorge perilous for its shoals and rapid currents.
