Three Gorges

Three Gorges reservoir region is a mountainous stretch along China's Yangtze River, between Chongqing and Yichang cities. Carved between steep cliffs are its trio of gorges, Qutang, Wu and Xiling. Cruise boats sail along the Yangtze's placid waters while the Baiheliang Underwater Museum displays ancient stone carvings from beneath the river's surface. The massive, hydroelectric Three Gorges Dam is in Sandouping city.
