China Daily: Yichang, gateway to the Three Gorges

The majestic Yangtze River reveals its splendour in Yichang, Hubei province, where you can find the “Two Dams and One Gorge” — the Three Gorges Dam, the Gezhouba Dam, and the Xiling Gorge.

Visitors can embark on an electric cruise upstream to witness these awe-inspiring engineering marvels and immerse themselves in the breathtaking beauty of Xiling Gorge. They can also explore the enchanting Three Gorges Tribe, where stilt houses cling to the cliffs and the folk songs of Tujia maidens harmonise with the gentle sounds of the streams, immersing tourists in the ancient Ba-Chu culture.

Yichang’s culinary delights are equally enticing. You can savour chewy hand-pulled noodles, steaming red oil buns, crispy radish dumplings, and refreshing cold shrimp jelly—each bite is infused with the city’s unique charm. Join our host Robert on a 48-hour journey to discover the vibrant allure of the gateway to the Three Gorges!
