The most impressive section of the river is the Three Yangtze River Gorges: the Qutang Gorge, Wuxia Gorge and Xiling Gorge, collectively known as Sanxia. China.

A short guide about Three Gorges

Fancy visiting the Three Gorges in China? Well the Qutang Gorge is best known for its steep precipices that form an enormous gateway over the river, The Wu Gorge is home to the famous 12 peaks of the Wushan Mountains, and The Xiling Gorge is known for its hidden reefs, perilous cliffs and tumbling rapids.

The Three Gorges is located between the cities of Fengjie and Yichang in Chongqing municipality and Hubei province. A representation of the westernmost gorge appears on China's currency (the back of the paper 10 yuan note) and although it is primarily famous for its scenery, the Three Gorges region is historically and culturally an important region in China. The region attracted attention globally due to the construction of the Three Gorges Dam, which is changing the scenery of the region. The controversial Three Gorges Project involves the construction of a dam which will be the largest hydroelectric project in the world. The dam, estimated to have cost $25 billion, is scheduled for completion in 2009 but the first tourist tickets to the dam were sold in the summer of 2005.

Tourabout has a range of cruising operators that provide a very high standard and cruise through the beautiful and scenic Three Gorges, an area becoming popular as the tourism industry grows in China.
