Wuxia Gorge
Wu Gorge is the second gorge of the Three Gorges in Yangtze River. Formed by the Wu River, it stretches 45 km from Wushan to Guandukou, and is located downstream of Qutang Gorge and upstream of Xiling Gorge.
Wuxia Gorge was also named Da Gorge. It is famous for its tranquility, deepness and enchantment. The marvelous scenery and steep cliffs on both sides bring us the feeling of excitement and amazement.
When the river flows out of Qutang Gorge and passes the broad valley of the Daning River, it enters the scenic Wuxia Gorge. Noted for its deep and serene scenes, Wuxia Gorge is full of zigzag, weird peaks, rising mists and beautiful sights. The famous Twelve Peaks on both banks of the river, in particular, are the most spectacular. These strange-looking peaks are like a fairy maid dancing.
Wushan, Badong and Zigui are famous towns in the gorge. There are many famous historic sites too. The town of Zigui is attracting a large number of tourists because it is the native place of the great ancient poet Qu Yuan and the famous beautiful woman Wang Zhaojun.
The Daning River at the western entrance to Wuxia Gorge is flanked by continuous strange peaks, including Longmen, Bawu and Dicui, some of them rising into the clouds and presenting an unusual spectacle. The section of the river becomes known as the Minor Three Gorges.
It is the most splendid and fabulous section of Three Gorgers area . There are a lot of relics or sites in the three gorges area. The scenic attractions are easily available are Konhming Stele . There are some Chinese characters engraved on the stele several thousand years ago. It was said that it was written by the wisest man Zhuge Liang in ancient China.
There is a famous kiosk named Autumn-wind kiosk. It is connected with a celebrity in Song Dynasty, Kou Zhun, a well-known premier in Song Dynasty. At the age of 19, he became the governor of Badong County. During three-year governorship, he wrote nearly 100 poems and built up a kiosk in the old town. He used to make poems, see scenery and drink wines here. Later he became the national premier.
This kiosk became more famous and was thought to be the auspicious land for being officials. So before the officials left for other places as officials, they would stay here to drink wines and make poem in order to be more successful as an official in the future. Nowadays it is also cherished very much by local residents.
