Cruise Downstream the Yangtze River-----part three

We continued to pass through Xiling Gorge which is the longest and historically the most dangerous of the Three Gorges. It starts from the western point, the outfall of Xiangxi River in Zigui County to Nanjin Pass in Yichang, and the eastern point. Xiliing Gorge has got its name for being located in the west of Yichang. It contains Kongling Gorge ，Dengying Gorge, Qing Beach, Xie Beach , the Three Gorges Dam, etc. It’s known for strange rock formation, speed and alarming danger. Passing Xiling Gorge is an adventure. We were getting closer to the hanging coffins and Zhangfei Shrine and all felt excited.

On the next day, after breakfast we started our last shore excursion and visited the massive Three Gorges Dam. It is the largest hydro-power plant in the world. We had great experience of the falling of dozens of meters when passing Gezhouba’s gate. We eventually arrived in Yichang and disembarked around noon.

Yichang City is located in the western part of Hubei Province, at the exit of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. It has been confirmed by archeologists that there existed human traces at least 100,000 years ago. Yichang is a tourist city with a variety of attractions rich in historical sites and cultural relics. Yichang has also become a modern city with convenient transportation and communication facilities in recent years.
