Idea: Describe based on the background of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River.
Hello everyone, welcome to the beautiful Three Gorges of the Yangtze River for sightseeing.
As everyone knows, the Yangtze River is the largest river in my country. It originates from the southwest side of the Tanggula Mountains in Qinghai Province and flows through Qinghai, Tibet, Yunnan, Sichuan, Chongqing, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu, Shanghai and other 11 provinces and cities. It contains hundreds of rivers and thousands of currents, running from west to east, across the hinterland of China, and finally empties into the East China Sea.
With a total length of 6,300 kilometers, it is the third largest river in the world after the Amazon and the Congo River in South America. It gave birth to the ancient civilization of the Chinese nation and merged with the mountains to form a magnificent and unique river. Canyon - Three Gorges of the Yangtze River.
The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River starts from Baidi City, Fengjie, Chongqing in the west, and ends at Nanjinguan in Yichang, Hubei Province in the east. It consists of the majestic Qutang Gorge, the deep and beautiful Wu Gorge, and the Xiling Gorge with many shoals and fast water, with a total length of 193 kilometers. . Qutang Gorge is famous for its majesty. It starts from Baidi City, Fengjie, Chongqing in the west, and reaches Daxi Town in the east. Although the gorge is only a short 8 kilometers long, it is the shortest of the Three Gorges. Jingchu presses the mountains".
Then there is Wu Gorge, which is famous for its beauty. Wu Gorge is famous for Wushan. It starts from the mouth of Daning River in the east of Wushan City, Chongqing in the west and ends at Guandukou in Badong County, Hubei Province in the east. It is the only one among the Three Gorges. The canyon spans two provinces and cities, with a total length of 45 kilometers. As the boat travels in the Wu Gorge, sometimes mountains are in front of us, and sometimes there are twists and turns. "Mountains are poor and water is difficult to find, but there is no way out, and there is a village with dark willows and flowers." is undoubtedly the best portrayal of it. Therefore, some people compare Wu Gorge to a "twisting landscape gallery".
Finally, after passing through a wide valley with gentle mountains and gentle waters, we arrived at Xiling Gorge. The beautiful Xiling Gorge, with a total length of 76 kilometers, starts from the mouth of Xiangxi River in Zigui County in the west and ends at Nanjinguan in Yichang, Hubei Province in the east. It is the longest canyon among the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. Because it is located to the west of the "Western Fortress of Chu" and Yiling, which is now Yichang City, it is called Xiling Gorge. Xiling Gorge is famous for its "danger" and "oddness". The strangeness and danger turn into the magnificence of Xiling Gorge.
I believe you must have heard these lines of poetry: "The white emperor is in the clouds, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are returned in one day, the apes on both sides of the bank can't stop crying, and the boat has passed the ten thousand mountains." This popular poem comes from the famous work "Chaofa Baidi City" by the poet Li Bai, and the Baidi City mentioned here is the first scenic spot we visited today.
Baidi City, formerly known as Ziyang City, is located on the north bank of the Yangtze River. It was built during the Xinmang period when Gongsun Shu ruled Sichuan. It is said that there is a well in the city, and the white mist in the well rises into the sky, and its shape is like a white dragon. , soaring straight into the sky, so Gongsun Shu called himself Baidi, and the city was renamed Baidi City. After the Three Gorges Project impounds water, the water will submerge halfway up the mountainside, creating a wonderland of mist-shrouded mountains and jade pavilions.
Speaking of the Three Gorges Project, its full name is the Yangtze River Three Gorges Water Conservancy Project. It is a key backbone project for the management and development of the Yangtze River, with comprehensive benefits such as flood control, power generation and shipping. The completed Three Gorges Dam is 185 meters high, has a water storage level of 175 meters, and has an annual power generation of 84.7 billion kilowatt hours. It is the greatest project in New China.
Okay, we are about to dock. Please come with me to appreciate the beauty of Baidi City up close.
