Wu Gorge

"While the magnificence of Qutang Gorge is left behind, the splendor of Wu Gorge comes in sight". Coming out of Qutang Gorge and sailing through an open area where the hills are low and the river is gentle, you enter Wu Gorge, which is characterized by beautiful peaks and steep cliffs on either side.

The deep gorge is so kaleidoscopic that you may test your eyes on the beautiful scenes everywhere all along. The twelve peaks of Mt. Wushan make up a most spectacular scene; the peaks are varied in shape and posture. Some look like green screens, some are surrounded in the cloud and others covered with ancient pine trees. Among them Shennu (Fairy) peak is most enchanting. The landscapes of the Daning River, Xiangxi River and Shennong River provide a unique flavor of primitiveness with the green mountains and the blue water.

In addition, located in the region of Wu Gorge are such famous walled cities as Wushan, Badong and Zigui, where there are a number of noted historical sites and where the folkways are so unique and colorful that one can enjoy himself heartily.

After water level becomes 135 meters, the water level along the valleys risen 16 meters. No great changes happened to the two banks of high mountain ranges. The natural painted corridor still keeps its beauty, Wu Gorge looks more beautiful.
