Three Gorges Summit

Ancient Shu had four wonders, known as 'Kuimen the most majestic, Jianmen the most perilous, Emei the most beautiful, and Qingcheng the most secluded'. 1️⃣ Baidicheng Recommendation rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Suggested visiting time: More than 1 day Ticket: 🎫100 yuan Location: 📌 Baidicheng Scenic Area on the north bank of the Yangtze River at the mouth of Qutang Gorge Baidicheng has thousands of steps, two-thirds of which are submerged underwater, with only three hundred steps remaining. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, this city was built. Because a well in the city often emitted white vapors, resembling a white dragon, it was given its current name. 💥 Baidicheng is well-known for the story of Liu Bei entrusting his son to others, a must-visit for fans of the Three Kingdoms. Baidicheng is well-preserved, and besides the statues of Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and others, there are also many precious inscriptions and steles from literati of various dynasties. - 2️⃣ Kuizhou Museum Recommendation rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Visiting time: 2-3 hours A national second-level museum, 4A tourist attraction. In addition to Tang tri-colored ceramic figures and Ming and Qing Buddha statues unearthed locally, the exhibition hall uses a large number of photos to recreate the old Fengjie city (the old city of Fengjie permanently disappeared due to the rising waters of the Three Gorges Dam), covering a time span from the late Qing Dynasty to the beginning of this century. Precious photos of the first person from Chongqing Nankai Wharf, Li Delue, and his wife (who also often traveled to Fengjie by boat on the Yangtze River) are also on display here. - 3⃣️ Kuimen Chijialou (Watching the river and teasing monkeys 🐒) Recommendation rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Visiting time: 1 hour ⚠️Highly recommended⚠️ You'll regret it if you don't go! A ten yuan RMB photo spot, an immersive experience of Li Bai's 'Early Departure from Baidicheng' with 'the endless cries of monkeys on both banks'. Many notes indicate that the best position to view Qutang Gorge is from Baidicheng (which I disagree with ❌, because you can't see the front of Kuimen from the top of Baidicheng and can't feel the majesty of Kuimen). The best angle should be from Chijialou at the mouth of the gorge. Chijialou has a large number of wild macaques 🐒 (there were about 20 when I visited), and most of them are very civilized and friendly. There is also feed for sale at 5 yuan 💰 per pack. You can enjoy teasing the monkeys and admiring the river without delay. - 4⃣️ Summit of the Three Gorges Recommendation rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Visiting time: 4 hours The best position to overlook Qutang Gorge. Friends who do not drive need to take a shuttle bus from Fengjie High-speed Railway Station to get there (9:00-9:30-10:00), and the return trip also requires a shuttle bus. Suitable for friends who like to climb high and look far, ⚠️those with acrophobia⚠️ choose carefully. The Summit of the Three Gorges and Baidicheng are far from the new county city of Fengjie. If you want to return on the same day, the time will be very tight, and you will need to make a choice. - Suggested route: Kuizhou Museum—Qutang Gorge Scenic Area (Baidicheng and Chijialou are part of the same scenic area) Visit Baidicheng—Visit Chijialou—Summit of the Three Gorges

At the top of the Three Gorges, I experienced the magical charm of nature! The scenery along the way was picturesque and intoxicating. I also saw the legendary Goddess Peak, which was stunningly beautiful. Hiking through the summit of the Three Gorges was exhausting, but it was a rewarding experience! I got to appreciate the grandeur of nature and also felt the power of teamwork. I will definitely come again!
