Brief Introduction to Yangtze River Cruise
The Three Gorges on the Yangtze River are world famous for the colorful scenery as well as diversified cultural relics, unique folk arts of the Ba and Chu states. Pleasure boats can take tourists to Fengdu, Wanzhou, Wushan Mountain, Shennongxi, Badong, Zigui, Yichang and Jingsha and other scenic spots along the river. The Three Gorges of Yangtze River, a world - renowned tourist attraction, extend 193 kilometers from the Fengjie Country in the west and end at Nanjing Pass in Yichang in the east, passing through Fengjie, Wushan counties in Sichuan Province and on through Badong, Zigui counties and Yichang City in Hubei Province. Except the Daning River Valley and the Xiangxi (Fragrant Stream) Valley, the gorges themselves are 93 kilometers long. They differ from each other in sceneries: Qutang Gorge (7km) is straight and craggy; Wu Gorge (44km), deep, serene and exquisite; while Xiling Gorge (42km) perilous for its shoals and rapid currents. From east to west starts from Baidicheng and ends at Daixi township, Qutang Gorge measures 8 kilometers, starting from Baidicheng and ending at Daixi Township. it is only a few dozens of meters wide just like a narrow gateway with vertical cliffs of some thousand meters high as its two flanks. With swash and rumble, the surging Yangtze River pours into the gateway with great momentum. Looking up towards the tops of towering precipitous mountains along the Gorge, one sees from a boat only a narrow strip of clouds and sky, but under foot the River tears on violently. Two mountains, Chijia Shan (Red Passage Mountain) and Baiyan Shan (White Salt Mountain), guard the entrance to this gorge like giant castle doors. Wu Gorge extends from the mouth of Daning River of Wushan Mountain in the west to Guandukou of Badong in the east. The Wu Gorge is gifted with exquisite peaks and lush mountains and ranges. It's deep and serene with changeable weather. The rolling River twists and turns and boats zigzag their way along, as if cruising in a fantastic gallery. The twelve peaks of Wushan Mountain are endowed with various fascinating shapes to the blue sky. Among them, the most fabulous is the Peak of Goddess. It pierces through the heaven, and towers over the Yangtze River. A protruding rock of the Peak has the shape of a slim girl shrouded in clouds and mist faintly visible as if clad in fine gauze dress, looking attractive and exuding tenderness and love. Flanked by craggy peaks and grotesque rock, it forms a meandering scenic gallery. Sometimes there seems no way ahead, suddenly an unimpeded path is in from while the water ends along mountain ridges. The beautiful sceneries on both banks are too changeable to take them all in. Xiling Gorge is one of the three gorges between the Gezhouba Dam and Three Gorges Dam. The gorge extends 66 kilometers in length is composed of many scenic spots such as, "Military Manual and Precious Sword Gorge", "Ox's Liver and Horse's Lung Gorge", "Kongling Shoal" and "Shadow-play Gorge". Among the cultural relics in the gorge are "Huangling Temple" and the "Three Travellers Cave". The 400-kilometre section includes lots of breathtaking natural scenic spots including dozens of small gorges with various shapes. Also found along the route are Qu Yuan Temple and, of course, the two huge dams and lakes blocked by the dams. Xiling Gorge is renowned for being extremely perilous. The gorge, 80-km-long, is the longest of the Yangtze's Three Gorges stretching from Xiangxikou in the east to Nanjingguan Pass in the west and covering two prefectures in Hubei Province. It is at this spot that the journey appears to be most perilous; the water is full of turbulent whirlpools and dangerous shoals.
