First, Qutang Gorge:

Qutang Gorge starts from Baidi Mountain in fengjie county, Chongqing in the west and ends in Daxi Town, Wushan County, Chongqing in the east. It is the shortest one in the Three Gorges, and the gorge is named "Xiong". Although the total length is only 8 kilometers, it has the majestic momentum of "controlling Bayu in the west and Jingchu pressing the mountain in the east". Among the Three Gorges, it is the shortest, narrowest and most dangerous, and its momentum and scenery are also the most magnificent. Its "male" is the male of the mountain first. Visitors enter the gorge, but they see dangerous peaks hanging down on both sides, cutting like axes and knives. Mountains are like pulling up the ground, and peaks are like stabbing the sky. The main peaks in the canyon, some as high as1500m. The middle reaches of Qutang Gorge are narrow, with a river width of only 100 meters. The narrowest part is only a few tens of meters, which makes the cliffs on both sides close together, adding a bit of masculinity. At the entrance of the western end, cliffs stand on both sides of the river, hundreds of feet high and less than 100 meters wide, just like portals, known as "Kuimen" and "Kuimen is the best in the world"; The one on the left is called Chi Jia, and the one on the right is called Baiyan Mountain. No matter what the weather is like, there are always several floors in Yin Hui, bright or dark. Although Qutang Gorge is short, it can "town the water of the whole Sichuan and choke the throat of Ba 'e". The ancients described Qutang Gorge as "the lattice is connected with the sky, and the boat travels from the underground hole". Along the river, you can see the ruins of ancient plank road, ancient hanging coffins in Fengxiang Gorge, partition walls, phoenix drinking fountains, upside-down monks and other wonders, among which the partition walls are covered with inscriptions of past dynasties, which is impressive. After the water level reached 135, the Kuimen stone carving was submerged, and the Fengjie cultural relics department has cut, moved or copied the original cliff stone carving above the current water level, and tourists can still enjoy it.

Second, the martial arts:

Wuxia, known as "Xiu", is the most wonderful part of the Three Gorges. It is located in Wushan County of Chongqing and Badong County of Hubei Province.

Wuxia is named after Wushan Mountain. She is deep and beautiful and is famous for her beauty. The canyon is misty and drizzling all the year round, which is easy to form the wonderful landscape of Wushan Yu Yun. The valley is deep and the gorge is long, the peaks are abrupt and the rivers are tortuous. In the process of taking a boat, it is like entering a beautiful gallery, full of poetry and painting, which is amazing. Yuan Zhen, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once wrote a poem: "The sea is difficult for water, but amber is always there." It can be seen that Wushan is the best in the world.
