About Three Gorges Tribe
Longjin Stream brings bridges, boats and waterside houses into a sheltered valley, while the higher Bawangzhai area offers craft displays and views towards the Yangtze bend. Performances are programmed visitor activities, not evidence that every scene is unchanged village life. The operator reported repairs in part of Longjin Stream in August 2026, so check the open route before deciding how to connect the lower and upper sections.
What to look for
- Longjin Stream’s bridge-and-waterside setting where access is open.
- Bawangzhai’s cultural displays and the elevated Yangtze views.
The surrounding area
