Xiling Gorge

Xiling Gorge, one of the Three Gorges carved by the Yangtze River between Yichang and Chongqing, is characterized by its soaring limestone cliffs and rugged landscapes. Chinese poets have long celebrated these dramatic surroundings, though the construction of the Three Gorges Dam has raised the river’s level. Today, visitors can still capture stunning photos and explore scenic caves, streams, bridges, temples, waterfalls, and minor gorges, all set against a backdrop of towering rock formations and lush greenery.
