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. |
