Danjiangkou reservoir is as wide as the small Pacific Ocean and as narrow as the small Three Gorges. The Three Gorges of Danjiang River stretches for more than 20 kilometers, with natural mountains, namely Yunling Gorge, Taibai Gorge and Yankou Gorge, and the narrowest part is less than 100 meters. The mountains on both sides of the strait are inlaid, the steep walls stand upright, the mountains are heavy and the waters are numerous, and the peaks turn around.

Yunling Gorge is the first gorge at the entrance. In the past, there were many pines and cypresses on both sides of the strait, so it was named after the distance. There are towering peaks and towering walls here, and there is a saying that "birds don't enter the cliff".

Taibai gorge is in danger. According to legend, Li Bai once swam here, hence the name. There are stones hanging on the cliff, and shrubs grow on it. Vines hang down from it and sway in the breeze. It is really ingenious and difficult to draw.

Yankou Gorge is an exit gorge, named after the mountains on both sides are quite like rock mouths. Once out of Yankou Gorge, the water surface of Danjiang River suddenly became clear. From here, you can bid farewell to the Three Gorges and sail for the Pacific Ocean.
