There are mountains on both sides of the Three Gorges in 700 miles, and there is no gap. The mountains are stacked and the sky is hidden. Since midnight, there has been no sunrise or moon. As for launching Xiangling, it is along the back block. Or the king ordered an emergency notice, sometimes going to Baidicheng and going to Jiangling at dusk. During this period, although he took the wind, he didn't get sick. In spring and summer, the green pool is surging and the reflection is clear. There are many strange cypresses, hanging springs and waterfalls, flying in the meantime, magnificent and interesting. At the beginning of every sunny day, the frost shines and the forest is cold and silent. There are often high apes screaming, leading to sorrow, echoing in the empty valley, and sorrow turning leisurely. So the fisherman sang: The Three Gorges in Badong are long and the apes cry three times.
