Day 3 · Sailing Through Three Gorges

  1. Chongqing Baidi City

    3 hours Admission included

    Standing at Baidicheng, the view before you becomes suddenly clear - the Kaiwu Pass, like a giant axe cleaving through the thousands of feet of mountains, and the Yangtze River surges and flows through, precisely depicting the classic scene on the 10-yuan banknote. Turning around to look back, the red walls and black tiles of the White Emperor Temple, with its eaves and ridges towering high, conceal the profound history of Liu Bei's entrustment. Descending along the stone steps, you can reach the ancient ancient road site of the Qutang Gorge. On the cliff face, the ancient footprints of the ancients can still be seen; looking up from a higher position, the Windbox Gorge cliff is as smooth as cut stone, and when shrouded in clouds and mist, it resembles a fairyland. In the city, the ancient trees tower high, and inscriptions are everywhere, with poems and writings from all ages engraved on the stones, telling of the "City of Poetry" reputation.

  2. Chongqing Qutang Gorge

    3 hours Admission included

    Our guide will meet you at the ticket counter, and we'll see you there.On both sides of the Qutang Gorge, the cliffs are as sharp and jagged as if carved by a sharp knife and an axe. The Kai Men Peak stands alone on either side of the river, facing each other across the water, with the river surging and roaring. When shrouded in morning mist, it looks like a veil covering the mountains; when the sun shines, the cliffs become extremely imposing. Ancient footpaths are suspended on the cliff walls, and the Red Mountain and White Salt Mountain stand guard against each other from afar. Every glance reveals a breathtaking canyon epic. --- If you need English translation or further simplification, please let me know at any time.
