#2024TravelReview One of the top ten famous waterfalls in China, #Three Gorges Waterfall, also known as #White Fruit Tree Waterfall, is located in Yichang, Hubei. It is 5 kilometers long and has more than 30 waterfalls along the way, including Hukou Waterfall, Yixian Waterfall, Zhenzhu Waterfall, Ya Waterfall, Lianhuan Waterfall, Wushan Waterfall, etc., which are quite spectacular upstream. The largest Three Gorges Waterfall is about tens of meters wide. The torrent rushes down from a steep cliff over a hundred meters high. In an instant, the sky is filled with water and fog, which is spectacular. Because of the splashing water vapor, you have to wear a raincoat when watching the waterfall to avoid getting wet by the splashing water vapor! In addition to a number of waterfalls, there is also a bridge museum, with a total of 21 bridges of various sizes along the way. These bridges across the canyon are exquisitely designed and uniquely shaped, blending in with the beautiful mountains and waters of the scenic area, forming beautiful mountain gorge, stream and waterfall scenery. #HubeiTravel #ExploreMainlandChina #Yichang

Perhaps this journey can give us the answer~ 📍 Here is the Qutang Gorge, known for its perilous terrain, where the narrowest part of the river is just over 10 meters, yet the peaks on both sides can reach thousands of meters high.

# One of the first many times in life, the first time to watch the sunrise on the Yangtze River, the first time to live in the river cruise! For the first time, visit the mountain gorge with local attractions, and the harvest is full! It takes 1 hour and 30 minutes by car from the port of Zigui. Entering the Three Gorges family, the eyes were attracted by the sailboats of several fishermen and the shouts of a group of trackers on the shore! Along the slate paved mountain path all the way past, not far from the Tujia Amei with an umbrella and a red makeup standing around the bow! This situation is like a beautiful portrait of mountains and rivers! so gorgeous! Walking, two women are washing by the river, this may be the life of the Tujia Three Gorges family!

The cable car of the Three Gorges Monkey Creek is very interesting, open-air, so that you dont have to worry about the front glass blocking the scenery, but you should be careful with your timid friends. Its really exciting. . The fairy ropeway, a smile to the city, and then laugh at the country. Perhaps smiling is the warmest look in the world. I live in a wonderful world. It is big, quiet, and near, really real, and so direct. The raging growth of the trees has been for a long time. It seems that they are all "moving", not because of the wind, but because of their own growth. They struggled somewhere they couldnt touch, trying to get closer to the place... Looking up at the sky, the sky is the same, trying to escape their blue, bluer, bluer.../hc / [Travel Tips]: When you take the ropeway, put the backpack in front, you must put the valuables in the bag, and you will feel bad when you fall. [price]: Downside: 20 yuan / person, up: 30 yuan / person

This mountain has become a rare golden monkey and white bear protection area. Also fortunate to see the golden monkey's style. On the car to Jinhualing, the tour guide and we have always said: You must take a deep breath to the Golden Monkey Ridge! Because this is the best spot for Shennongjia air, negative oxygen ions are several times in the city~~~ Frequently smoked friends must come to wash the lungs! ~ Before entering the golden monkey base, everyone should wear the base-sterilized clothes, because this will prevent humans from transmitting the germs to the monkeys, and the monkeys will not scratch the tourists' clothes. (At the same time as the visit, don't throw some snacks of fruits or toys for the monkeys, the administrators will give them a full meal every day.) After half an hour of intimate contact with the monkeys at the golden monkey base, we will go to the next destination. Land: Xiaolongtan. Xiaolongtan and Dalongtan are all looking at rare animals. What is different from Dalongtan is that there are more wild animals in Xiaolongtan, but they are all in cages, otherwise the bears are easy to hurt people. PS: You can also experience a five-star toilet in Shennongjia in Xiaolongtan. You can try it, haha. "Golden Monkey Flying Waterfall" is a model of Shennongjia Waterfall. It is above the cliffs of Wanzhang, passing through the jungle and plunging down.

The reason why the Three Gorges is called the "three" gorge is because there are three Shaanxi valleys between the east of Fengjie County in Chongqing and Yichang City in Hubei Province: Qutang Gorge, Wu Gorge and Xiling Gorge. Qutang Gorge is the shortest and narrowest of the Three Gorges, only 8 kilometers. The Wu Gorge is the most beautiful place in the Three Gorges. It is known as Junxiu and is 45 kilometers long. The Xiling Gorge is the most dangerous place in the Three Gorges, with a total length of 76 kilometers. . If you are traveling to Yichang, Hubei, you must take a boat to see the dangerous peaks of the Xiling Gorge and the rolling Yangtze River. Xiling Gorge starts from Xiangxikou East to Nanjin Pass in the west, and is named after Xiling Mountain in Yichang. There are four landscapes in Xiling Shaanxi: Bingshu Baojian Gorge, Niuhe Mafeixia, Qiling Gorge and Dengying Gorge. The most well-known attraction is the Three Gorges Family tour in Dengyingxia by boat.
