The Yangtze River, the longest river
in China and the third longest river in the world, goes
forward with great strength and vigor for 6,300 km.
The most splendid and magnificent part of it is the
Three Gorges which lies at the juncture of Sichuan Province
and Hubei Province. The gorges extend from White King
Town in Fengjie County, Sichuan Province to Nanjunguan
pass in Yichang, Hubei Province, with a full length
of 193 km. It consists of Qutang Gorge, Wu Gorge and
Xiling Gorge. It was the nature's creation and billions
of year development that achieved the unique natural
landscape gallery. In the three gorges, there are so
many beautiful things, grotesque landforms, charming
sights and countless historical sites…etc. that
we simply can't take them all in. After the construction
of the Three Gorges Project, the reservoir will store
water and the key scenic spots, such as White King Town,
Zhangfei Temple, Shibaozhai Village, Hanque Pass, Mingshan
Ghost City, Baiheliang out of the gorges and ancient
plank roads, Stalactic Buddhas on cliff, Qu Yuan Temple,
Wang Zhaojun's native place in the gorges will be inundated
partly or completely. We hope our panoramic pictures
can supply you a forever souvenir of those superb sights
which will remain in water in the future.
