About Three Gorges · regional Yangtze corridor

Qutang Gorge begins around Fengjie’s Baidicheng and Kuimen landscape; the sequence continues through Wu Gorge towards Xiling Gorge and Yichang. River travel reveals the changing enclosure of the cliffs, while land-based viewpoints provide a more local visit. Choose either a specific gorge excursion or an operator’s multi-stop cruise, and read the actual itinerary before assuming every famous riverside site is included.

What to look for

  • Qutang Gorge’s narrow Kuimen entrance near Fengjie.
  • The changing cliff-and-river landscape along the broader gorge corridor.
