Located in the hinterland of China, the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River is the general name of Qutang Gorge, Wuxia Gorge and Xiling Gorge. It starts from Baidicheng, fengjie county, Chongqing in the east, and reaches Nanjinguan, Yichang, Hubei in the east, spanning fengjie county, Wushan, Badong, Zigui and Yichang, Hubei, with a total length of 193km. Also known as "Three Gorges".
There are three gorge areas from west to east: Qutang Gorge in Chongqing, Wuxia Gorge in Chongqing and Xiling Gorge in Hubei, hence the name Three Gorges. The two sides of the Three Gorges face each other in high mountains, with steep cliffs and peaks generally higher than the river 1000- 1500m. The narrowest part is less than 100 meter. The Three Gorges was formed because the crust in this area is rising and the Yangtze River water is strongly incised.
Extended data:
1, tourist season:
The flood season of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River is the peak season for the Three Gorges tourism. At this time, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Yangtze River. The Three Gorges can only sail during this period, but in the dry season, some places can't sail because of the shallow water, which is regrettable. However, after the completion of the Three Gorges Dam, the water level in the Three Gorges reach rose by more than 100 m, and there was no difference between rich and poor when visiting the Three Gorges.
Every year, the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River has a dry season from/kloc-0 to April, and a wet season from May to 1 0. The attraction of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River lies in the "magnificent and wonderful show". Due to the turbid water quality in the wet season, the wet season is not the best time to visit the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River.
