Cities & Attractions to See

• The Three Gorges–The river snakes through the triad, Qutang Xia (gorge), Wu Xia and Xiling Xia, which are phenomenal, extending nearly 120 miles through sheer precipices interspersed with wide valleys.
• Qutang Gorge–The shortest, rockiest and most narrow of the three
• Wu Gorge–Sail around the twelve peaks of the Wu Mountains, creating a diverse and whimsical landscape
• Xiling Gorge–Known for its uniquely shaped rock formations with quirky names like Ox Liver, Horse Lungs and Yellow Cat. This used to be the most dangerous part of the journey before rocks were removed in the 1950s.
• Lesser Three Gorges - Cruise up the Daning River past the cliffs of Longmen Xia and wild monkeys
• Three Gorges Dam –This marvel of engineering is harnessing the power of the Yangtze for energy and curbing the river's tendency to flood. Unfortunately the project has also caused the relocation of thousands of people, the moving and flooding of numerous cultural sites and environmental damage
• Wuhan City–Wuhan is the largest city in the central China. It is situated on the Jianghan Plain, a river-crossed fertile land, which is created by the Hanjiang River joining China's great Yangtze River in this area.
