Chongqing | There probably isn't a more stunning landscape than this
'Red armor and white salt both pierce the sky, asking Yan Liao to wrap around and join the mountain peak'
-
The first time I encountered the Three Gorges was in a textbook.
At that time, I felt no sense of the grandeur and peril described.
Now that I am here,
I truly understand what 'Kuimen is the most majestic under heaven' means!❗️

【⛰ Summit of the Three Gorges】
The Summit of the Three Gorges scenic area is located in Fengjie County, Chongqing City. Situated at the beginning of the Yangtze River's Three Gorges, it is named after Du Fu's poem 'Red armor and white salt both pierce the sky, with neighborhoods winding around to join the mountain peak. Maple forests and orange trees blend their brilliant hues, with paths and multi-storied pavilions hanging suspended in splendor', and represents the highest physical form of the Three Gorges and the most beautiful landscape form. The main attractions include Baidi City, Qutang Gorge scenic area, and other landscapes.

The Foodie Explorer s Log
It is recommended, you can't listen to Douyin and Xiaohongshu alone to go to Lukou for free tickets. The view you see is incomparable. Overlooking the beautiful scenery of Lutang Gorge, in fact, you can see a lot of old age by sightseeing bus and then walk to the top of the Three Gorges.
The Three Gorges Inn Scenic Area and the Baidi City Scenic Area are two places, more than 20 kilometers apart, navigation the Three Gorges Inn Visitor Center, along the mountain road, the mountain road is well repaired, the road is easy to walk, there are few cars, the Three Gorges Inn has two visitor centers, the first visitor center, is the place to take the cableway up the mountain, Then a road goes 8 kilometers ahead, to the second visitor center, is the place to take the sightseeing bus, the ropeway and the sightseeing bus are in the same place, go forward for half an hour to the viewing platform, the road is better to go, the original road back
Take the cable car up the mountain for two hours. This experience is very poor. The scenery is still very good. The view is small. It will rain and fog on the day. It will be better if there is no cloud in the sky. It took three hours to go up and down the mountain by cable car. It was too long. After going up the mountain, it was almost an hour or two to see the scenery. The entire Fengjie scenic spots feel that the organization is insufficient, parking, and traffic on the road are very chaotic. It is less than two kilometers away from the scenic spot to drive for more than an hour (traffic jam), which makes foreign tourists very annoyed, and the signboards to the scenic spot are also very messy. I don’t understand it. There should be a little more staff near each scenic spot, and foreign tourists should come, and they can better understand the driving route. The local cultural and tourism department should work hard to manage and manage.
Ticket 20 is very suitable for much better than Baidi City. The cable car line is very good and saves time and effort. The scenery is also very good. It is recommended to go directly to the glass observation deck. Treasure attractions recommended
The top of the Three Gorges is an hour and a half from Fengjie High-speed Railway. Public transportation runs every day. The time cannot be chartered and the traffic is inconvenient. Recommended sightseeing car, after going up, the walking intensity is small, the scenery is beautiful, it is the most worth visiting attraction in the Three Gorges. It is easy to get foggy, it needs to be sunny, and you can't see anything if you are lucky.
