CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- “Leaving at dawn the White Emperor crowned with cloud. I’ve sailed a thousand miles through canyons in a day. With monkeys' sad adieus the river banks are loud: My skiff has left ten thousand mountains far away.” For thousands of years, the praises of the Yangtze River by men in literature are beyond count. Fortunately, the beauty did not fade with time. From Wushan to Fuling, the beautiful canyon upstream remains full of extraordinarily charm.

Wushan

The Wushan Yangtze River Bridge is one of the ten longest arch bridges in the world. This amazing bridge is not only the portal to the magnificent landscape of the Wu Gorge, but also the most charming place in the Three Gorges. The best viewing place overlooking the canyon scenery is Huangyan Landscape Avenue, 1100 meters above sea level. With five scenic spots connected, a panoramic view of the Wu Gorge can be obtained.

In the Wushan area, the Yangtze River forks into more narrow channels and forms the Small Three Gorges which is famous for beautiful scenery. Compared to Three Gorges, Small Three Gorges boasts of a kind of hazy beauty in mist. There are some wonderful views of the canyon in the Small Three Gorges. For example, in Longmen Gorge, you can see the spectacular and ancient plank road which was built with pegs and planks.

Fengjie

Kuimen, the gate of Qutang Gorge, is a spectacular towering limestone cliff. It's a miniature of the unique, adventurous, beautiful Three Gorges.

Qutang Gorge is also known as Kui Gorge. With a total length of 8 km, it begins at Baidicheng of Fengjie County in the west and ends at Daxi Town of Wushan County in the east. The scenery is magnificent and precipitous. At the entrance to the canyon, two cliffs across the river form a natural gate which is called Kuimen. Kuimen has enjoyed the reputation of "majesty in the world" since ancient times. Although only eight kilometers long, numerous scenic spots are distributed along the two sides of Qutang Gorge.
