The Three Gorges is the general name of Qutang Gorge, Wuxia Gorge and Xiling Gorge. It starts from Baidicheng, fengjie county, Sichuan Province in the west and ends at Nanjinguan, Yichang City, Hubei Province in the east, spanning five counties and cities of Fengjie, Wushan, Badong, Zigui and Yichang, with a total length of about 200 kilometers.
From the perspective of tourism, the Three Gorges scenic spot is not limited to this scope, but includes three parts, one of which is from Zhongxian County, Sichuan Province to Fengjie, which is the prelude of the Three Gorges; Part of it is from Fengjie to Yichang, Hubei, which is the main body of the Three Gorges. The depths of the Three Gorges, including the Little Three Gorges of Daning River, the hometown of Zhaojun in Xiangxi and the hometown of Qu Yuan, are all extensions of the scenic spot. Fengjie
Known as Kuizhou in ancient times, it has been a place where scholars and bachelors have gathered for thousands of years, and is known as the city of poetry. Fengjie is currently the largest county in the Three Gorges tourist area, with a large number of Shu and Han relics, as well as an eight-array map laid by Zhuge Liang on the riverside outside the city. The so-called "eight-array map" in ancient times refers to the battle queue named after "heaven, earth, wind, cloud, dragon, tiger, bird and snake". The eight-array diagram here is where Zhuge Liang interprets the art of war with "Schleswig as the array".
Baidicheng
Located on the purple mountain of Bai Di, formerly known as Ziyang City, it is an ancient city with a long history. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Gongsun Shu built a city for self-defense according to Shu. Because a well in the city was often white, it was like a white dragon soaring into the sky, Gongsun Shu called it, and changed its name to Cheng. During the Three Kingdoms period, it is said that Liu Bei did not listen to Zhuge Liang's advice and personally led an army to conquer Wu Dong to avenge his righteous brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. As a result, he was defeated by Lu Xun, the general of Wu Dong. Xuande retreated to Bai Di, ashamed to see his ministers. So, he built Yong 'an Palace in Bai Di and settled down, and soon died of depression. Before his death, Liu Bei entrusted the regime and his son Liu Chan to the Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, who was called "Liu Bei's orphan" in history. At present, there is a colorful portrait of Liu Bei's orphans in Bai Di Temple in Bai Di, and its art reproduces the scene of Liu Bei's orphans at that time.
qutang gorge
Out of Bai Di City, I boarded the ship owner's boat and came to Qutang Gorge, which is famous for its "male". Qutang Gorge, about 8 kilometers long, is the shortest canyon in the Three Gorges. The river at the mouth of the canyon is less than 100 meter wide. Cliffs on both sides are like knives, and the sky is a line. The water is steep and the mountains are steep. There are five characters on the rock, such as "Kuimen is the best in the world". Down the river, there are some spectacular wonders, such as the white wall, the Meng Liang ladder, the phoenix drinking fountain, the upside-down monk and the rhinoceros looking at the moon. Among them, the powder wall is covered with inscriptions of past dynasties, including seals, officials, molds,
In Mo Bao, everything is like the wall of a hall full of calligraphy, so someone gave it an elegant name called "Parting Hall".
Wu Gorge
Out of Qutang Gorge, after passing through the 25-kilometer-wide Daning River Valley, I came to the beautiful Wuxia Gorge. Wuxia starts from Daning estuary in Wushan county in the west and ends at Guandukou in Hubei province in the east, with a total length of about 40 kilometers. On both sides of the canyon, the green hills are continuous, the peaks are like screens, and the rivers are winding and beautiful, just like a natural gallery. There are twelve Wushan peaks on both sides of the gorge, and from west to east, there are six peaks in Jiangbei: Denglong, Shengquan, Chaoyun, Goddess, Songluan and Jixian. There are six peaks in the south of the Yangtze River: Jintan, Yun Qi, Feng Fei, Denggao, Cuiping and He Ju. However, only nine peaks can be seen on the Yangtze River, among which the ascent of Jingtan, Yun Qi and the south bank can only be seen on Qingshixi, a tributary of the Yangtze River. Among the twelve peaks, goddess peak is the most beautiful and famous, and people regard her as a symbol of Wushan Mountain. On the cliff facing the river at the easternmost end of the Twelve Peaks, there are six vigorous and powerful Chinese characters-Five Peaks with Heavy Cliffs, written by Zhuge Liang, so it is called Kongming Monument.
Not far from Badong, the boat arrived in Xiangxi, where there were two famous figures in history: one was Qu Yuan, a great patriotic poet, and the other was Wang Zhaojun of the Han Dynasty. Qu Yuan's hometown is in Dongping Li Village, Zigui County. Today, Quyuan Temple is built on the riverside two or three kilometers east of Zigui County. Outside the East Gate, there is a memorial archway in Qu Yuan's hometown and a stone tablet in Dr. San Lv's hometown. Qu Yuan is an upright, selfless and far-sighted politician and a great patriotic poet. He cares about the country and the people, leaving behind such brilliant poems that are praised by people all over the world.
Baoping Village in Xingshan County in the upper reaches of Xiangxi River is the hometown of Wang Zhaojun, the concubine of Emperor Han Ming. In recent years, her old home has been restored here. A white marble statue of Zhaojun sent by Inner Mongolia stands outside the house, which means "Zhaojun has his own future and Hu Han's relatives have knowledge".
Xiling Gorge
Xiling Gorge starts from Xiangxikou in Zigui County in the west and ends at Nanjinguan in Yichang City in the east, with a total length of about 76 kilometers. It is the longest canyon in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River and is famous for its precipitousness. There are famous canyons and dangerous beaches in the gorge, such as Baojian Gorge, Niuganmafei Gorge, Kongling Gorge, Huang Mao Gorge, Dengying Gorge, Qingtan, Xietan, Kongling Gorge, Huangling Temple, Sanyou Cave and Luyou Spring. The steep peaks in the canyon stand on the river wall, and the steep peaks and cliffs soar into the sky; Strange rocks, silver waterfalls, ancient trees, fast-flowing water, turbulent waves, all kinds of scenes. However, many rocky shoals have been rectified, and the breathtaking "Kong Ling Beach", "Seeing ghosts" and "The Gate of Hell" have become historical relics. Baojian Gorge in Xiling Gorge is located on the steep cliff on the north bank of the Yangtze River at the east of Xiangxi 1.5 km. There is something piled up in the crevices of the rock, which is called "the gauntlet". There is a strip-shaped rock bulge at the lower right, which is like a giant sword going straight into the rapids, so it is called "the sword". The gauntlet is actually the remains of Ba people's rock coffin burial. Not far east of Baojian Gorge in Sun Tzu's Art of War, there is a rock wall in Jiangbei, on which there are two overlapping and drooping ochre rocks, one shaped like ox liver and the other like horse lung, hence the name Ox liver and Horse Lung Gorge. There are Dengying Gorge and Huangmao Gorge between Liantuo and Nanjinguan. Deng Yingxia, also known as Yue Mingxia, is not long, but the scenery is extraordinary, which can be described as "no peaks and no cliffs, and water flies like a spring". There are four strange stones on Maya Mountain on the south bank of Xiling Gorge. When I was in middle school with Journey to the West, four Tang Priests went to the West to learn from the scriptures. Wukong explored the road, Pig led the horse, Tang Sanzang folded, and Friar Sand collected scriptures, which was a cool gesture. Whenever the sunset glow shines, looking from the gorge, it looks like the characters in the lantern shadow play, hence the name Lantern Shadow Gorge. In Huang Mao Gorge area, the mountain is like a yellow cat crouching, with beautiful scenery.
The first dam of the Yangtze River
In order to further develop the water resources of the Yangtze River, the state will soon build a super-large Three Gorges water control project in Sandouping, Yichang City. After the completion of the dam, the water level will rise by 100 m, and the high gorge will flow out of Pinghu. According to statistics, there are state-level protected cultural relics Baiheliang 1 in the Three Gorges reservoir area (this is precious hydrological data in ancient times), 5 provincial-level protected cultural relics and more than county-level key protected cultural relics 10. By then, the ghost town of Fengdu in Sichuan will become a ghost island, Shi Baozhai will become a castle in the river, Zhangfei Temple will be moved away, Fengjie will be completely submerged, and Baidi City will become an island. Judging from the canyon landscape, Kuimen lost its light, and it is difficult to predict whether there is any change in the Wushan dynasty, and Xiling Gorge is calm. However, things always split in two. For example, after the completion of the Three Gorges Dam, its magnificent dam is 2000 meters long, just like a "Great Wall on Water" across the Yangtze River, which will surely become a new landscape to attract Chinese and foreign tourists. In addition, many tributaries on both sides of the Yangtze River have unique scenery. In the past, due to the barrier of mountains and rivers, "hiding in the boudoir", more novel and unusual attractions will be developed after the water level rises. Furthermore, the water level rises and gullies on both sides of the Yangtze River enter the water. At this time, it is expected that there will be many Penglai on the water surface, thus creating the second scenic Qiandao Lake. Therefore, today's Three Gorges Meeting is different from tomorrow's Three Gorges Meeting. Today's majestic posture will say goodbye to you. Please go to the Three Gorges early.
