Ladies and gentlemen,

Hello! Welcome to the beautiful Three Gorges of Yangtze River for sightseeing.

As we all know, the Yangtze River is the largest river in China. It starts from the detachment of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the roof of the world, and flows through the hinterland of China from west to east, with a total length of more than 6,300 kilometers. It is full of songs of the four seasons and goes straight to the East China Sea endlessly. The Yangtze River is the third largest river in the world after the Amazon River in South America and the Nile River in Africa. It is the cradle of ancient Chinese civilization. When it flows through the eastern edge of Sichuan basin, it passes through the mountains and rushes down, forming a magnificent and unique grand canyon-the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River.

The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River starts from Nanjinguan, Yichang City, Hubei Province in the east and reaches Baidicheng, fengjie county City, Chongqing City in the west. It consists of Xiling Gorge, Wuxia Gorge and Qutang Gorge, with a total length of193km. It is the essence of the scenery of the Yangtze River, a treasure in the landscape of China, and it exudes fascinating brilliance throughout the ages, attracting countless Chinese and foreign tourists. Friends, let's start the magical and magnificent trip to the Three Gorges. ...

Xiling Gorge

The scenic Xiling Gorge, with a total length of 76 kilometers, starts from Xiangxi Estuary in Zigui County in the west and ends at Nanjinguan in Yichang City in the east, which is the longest canyon in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. Because it is located in the west of "Chuxisai" and Yiling (ancient name of Yichang), it is called Xiling Gorge. Xiling Gorge is famous for its "danger" and "strangeness", and "strangeness" and "danger" have turned into the magnificence of Xiling Gorge.

There are "three beaches" in Xiling Gorge-Xietan, Qingtan and Kong Ling Beach, as well as "four Gorges"-Deng Yingxia, Huangniu Gorge, Niuganmafei Gorge and Baojian Gorge. Although some landscapes no longer exist because of the construction of the dam, the beautiful scenery of the Three Gorges remains the same.

Xiling gorge has a gorge, a beach in the beach, a big beach with a small beach, and the beach is full of water. Since ancient times, the boatmen of the Three Gorges have been fighting against rapids here for generations. "The banks of Xiling Gorge are thick and the beach is full of ghosts." In the past, as long as the ship passed through this area, there was often a tragedy of "the ship was wrecked on the rocks and the river was floating and sinking". There is a "White Bone Tower" on the green beach, which is specially used to accumulate the bones of dead boatmen. But now you don't have to worry, because the government has been in charge of this place since the founding of New China, and now it's already near misses.

Nanjinguan

Our present position is Nanjinguan, the starting point of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River and the dividing line between the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River. There is the famous Xiling Gorge scenic spot, which is a national scenic spot and a provincial tourist resort. The main attractions are Leizu Temple, Shubihua Village, Baimadong, Sanyou Cave, Xialaoxi, Longquan Cave, Xianrenxi and Wuzhou Leisure Park. After Nanjinguan, the river narrowed from more than 2,000 meters to 300 meters, and a magnificent picture was displayed in front of us, colorful and colorful.

Dengyingxia

After Nanjinguan, we arrived at Deng Ying Canyon.

Deng Yingxia, also known as Yue Mingxia, is not long, but the scenery is extraordinary, which can be described as "no peaks and no cliffs, and water flies like a spring". The wall of the gorge is bright and clean, pure and free from impurities, such as carefully polished by the Heavenly Palace. The clear gorge wall is like an ink painting against the clear sky, and the cliff wall is reflected in the river. The river rustled, adding a bright and beautiful taste. If the moon hangs on the western hills after this at night, the "clear boundary" between mountains and water in the moonlight is indescribable. The so-called "Yueming Gorge Valley" is named after it. Deng Ying Canyon is designed in a shape. There are four strange stones on Maya Mountain on the left (south bank) of the boat, which are very similar to the vivid image of The Journey to the West Tang Priest and his disciples returning happily from the West: the Monkey King, who explored the road with a canopy; A pig with a belly and three steps; A sand monk with heavy shoulders and tight steps; Tang Priest, ride safely and cross your hands slowly. Vivid image, vivid image, vivid and wonderful. Whenever the sun sets at night, looking from the canyon, it is very similar to the characters in the shadow play (called "Lantern Shadow Play" by the locals), hence the name Lantern Shadow Play Gorge.

Huangniuxia

Soon after sailing westward by boat, looking south, you can see a row of steep stone walls and nine winding green ridges under the cliff, just like Kowloon running on the river, which is very majestic. The stone wall was originally Huangniuyan, and the valley under the rock was Huangniuxia.

We can see that there are scattered rocks and serrated teeth here. In the meantime, the river is like a zigzag ileum, bubbles swirl like boiling water, and the water flow is dangerous, so it is called Huangniutan. The old proverb says, "It's too late to chop and change. It doesn't feel like silk. " This reflects the difficulty of getting water by wooden boats in the past, because this section of the river is not only swift, but also has many rocks. It is difficult for wooden boats to get water, and they should always be careful, so they travel slowly.

The origin of yellow cattle runs through the myth of Yu Xia's water control. According to legend, when the Jade Emperor was born, Yu Xia came to the world to control floods and sent gods to help him. When he led the people to dig the present Huangniu Gorge, the gods turned into magical cows and came to help. One day, just before dawn, a woman sent tea and rice to the civilian worker in charge of water conservancy. When she came to the river, she suddenly saw a huge and majestic bull prancing around in the sunlight, touching the mountain peak angrily with its horn, and suddenly the landslide, rock fracture, made a thunderous sound. The civilians were dumbfounded and shouted. The cry alarmed the cow, and it jumped off the rock. Since then, this image has remained between the stone walls.

Xiangxi kuangu

Due to the impoundment of the dam, the water surfaces of the famous Xiangxi River and Jiuwanxi River are three to four times wider than before impoundment, and the Baojian Gorge and Niuganmafei Gorge have been submerged by the river and sank to the bottom of the river forever. Niu Gan Ma Fei Xia has been rescued by the cultural relics department and sent to Fenghuang Mountain Cultural Relics Protection Area in Zigui County. After the restoration, it will be open to tourists at the end of this year. As the water level of the Yangtze River rises, tourists from both sides of the Xiajiang River come to watch the "High Gorge Out of Pinghu" in an endless stream.

This is the wide valley in western Hunan. We can see that there are continuous hills, gullies, layers of buildings and fields, and orange trees. At the eastern end of the wide valley and the north bank of the Yangtze River, you can see a small stream, which the locals call "Xiangxi". Here, there have been two famous figures in history: one is Qu Yuan, a great patriotic poet, and the other is Wang Zhaojun of the Han Dynasty. Legend has it that one day, Zhao Jun washed his face by the stream and accidentally scattered pearls around his neck. Since then, the stream has been crystal clear and fragrant, so people call it Xiangxi. Listen to the local people say that the stream is not only sweet and delicious, but also has the function of beauty beauty! You can try if you don't believe me. Look, the statue next to Xiangxi is Wang Zhaojun. Her hometown is Baoping Village, Xingshan County, in the upper reaches of Xiangxi River. Everyone can feel the difference between the air where beauty lies and our air. In recent years, her old house has been restored there, and a white marble statue of Zhaojun sent by Inner Mongolia stands outside the house, which means "Zhaojun has his own future, and Hu Han knows his relatives".

Wu Gorge

At Xiangxikou, the canyon section of Xiling Gorge is completed. The ship passed through a gentle and wide valley in the mountain and river, and then entered Wuxia. Wuxia, named after Wushan, starts from Guandukou, Badong County, Hubei Province in the east and reaches Daning River mouth east of Wushan, Chongqing in the west. It is the only canyon in the Three Gorges that spans two provinces and cities. Wuxia Gorge is 45 kilometers long and the most complete of the three canyons, so people also call it the "Grand Canyon".

We can see that the Wuxia Gorge is long and deep, winding, with continuous peaks and clouds. The ship sails in the gorge, sometimes the mountain is in front of us, "there is no way to recover"; From time to time, the peaks and turns around, "the willow blossoms are bright and another village", so some people compare martial arts to "a landscape gallery with a winding path", which is really appropriate.

badong shennong stream

After Badong County, there is a tributary in Jiangbei, namely Shennongxi. In recent years, drifting in Shennong River has attracted more and more Chinese and foreign tourists. Shennongxi originated from the vast green hills of Shennongjia, with clear streams and steep peaks on both sides. There are also three Gorges on the river section that has been developed for tourists to drift, namely Mianzhu Gorge, Parrot Gorge and Longchang Gorge, so it is also called "Shennong Three Gorges" to distinguish it from the Yangtze River Three Gorges and Daning River Three Gorges. Tourists go ashore and drive north from Badong County. After a journey of about 50 kilometers, they arrived at Yeziba, the drifting starting point of Shennong River. Sitting on a boat shaped like a pea horn, drifting leisurely on a clear water quilt and drifting through Mianzhu Gorge, Parrot Gorge and Longchang Gorge in turn will make you feel a primitive wild interest. There is not even a small motorboat on Shennong Creek. The air is exceptionally fresh, and the canyon is particularly quiet. Except for the occasional birdsong and a few Long song, people feel far away from the world. This is hard to find outside Shennongxi. Out of Shennongxi, I returned to the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River.

Twelve peaks in Wushan

As we all know, Wuxia is famous for its deep beauty, especially the Twelve Peaks of Wushan, which are arranged on both sides of the river. In the past, when the ship passed the Wuxia Gorge, passengers couldn't help looking at the stone pillars and enjoying the famous Twelve Peaks of Wushan with great interest. These twelve peaks are all made of limestone, about 1000 meters above the river surface, and stand in the north and south of the Xiajiang River. Some are like walking on clouds, some are like a phoenix spreading its wings, some are like painting a screen, and some peaks are fascinating.

Jiangbei six peaks are connected. The first thing you see is Jixian Peak (namely Scissors Peak) on the north shore. On the rock wall below it, you can vaguely see six big characters: "The mountains are stacked on top." There are some small characters beside it. Now the fine print is blurred and difficult to distinguish because of the weathering of rocks. According to legend, Zhuge Liang called it "Kongming Monument". With the construction of the Three Gorges Project, the Kongming Monument under the submerged line will be moved to other places. The other five peaks are Songluan Peak (Hat Box Peak), goddess peak (Wang Xiafeng), Chaoyunfeng, Shengquan Peak and Deng Feng Long.

Of the six peaks on the south bank, only Feng Fei, Cuiping and He Ju can be seen on board, while Jingtan, Yun Qi and Denggao must be traced back to Qingshixi/kloc-0.5 km away from the tributary of the Yangtze River. Therefore, Lu You, a poet in the Song Dynasty, wrote the poem "See Jiu Feng at Twelve Wushan Mountains".

Please look up. There stands a mountain peak among the mountains. There is a humanoid stone pillar beside the mountain peak, which looks like a graceful girl looking down at the Yangtze River affectionately. That is the highest and most beautiful goddess peak among the twelve peaks. Before the ship reached the summit, looking up at the summit, you can see an abrupt stone pillar, which looks like a vigorous girl, hence the name "goddess peak". As for goddess peak, in ancient literary works, it was once imagined that there was a goddess who walked in the morning and rained at dusk in Wushan. In addition, there is a myth of "goddess navigation".

According to legend, in ancient times, Yao Ji, the youngest daughter of the Queen Mother of the West, came to Wushan and saw a group of evil Long Zaitian fighting in the air, harassing the people. She stopped, killed the dragon and killed people. Later, he sent someone to help Dayu cut open the Three Gorges, dredge the river, stay in the company for navigation, and finally turn it into goddess peak. She looked down at the river day and night. She was the first to greet the sunrise and the last to watch the sunset. The myth of "Goddess Sailing" reflects that under the goddess peak, I don't know how many boatmen and tourists shed tears in the river and died in the belly of fish!

⊙ Daning River Little Three Gorges

Dear friends, we are now in the Three Gorges of Daning River. Daning River originates in Zhong Nanshan, Pingli County, Shaanxi Province, flows through the rugged rocks in Wuxi and Wushan counties of Chongqing, and joins the Yangtze River on the east side of Wushan County. There are also three Gorges on Daning River: Longmen Gorge, Eighth Five-Year Gorge and Cuidi Gorge, which are called "Little Three Gorges". It is more beautiful than the Three Gorges, so it is said that "the Three Gorges landscape is the best in the world, and the Ninghe landscape is the first in the Three Gorges". The closure of the Three Gorges Project and the rising water level will affect the Three Gorges of Daning River, and the accessibility of the Three Gorges of Maduhe River, its tributary, will be greatly improved. Now, please transfer me to the boat and visit the beautiful scenery of the Three Gorges of Daning River.

Now we have entered Longmen Gorge, the first gorge of the Three Gorges. The mountains on both sides of Longmen Gorge are opposite. The water here is very fast, and the water vortices come out one by one, like commas and periods, around our ship. This is the famous "Yinwotan". In the past, due to the rapid current, many passenger and cargo ships sank here, and countless gold, silver and jewels sank here, hence the name Yinwotan.

Look, there are two big black holes on the hillside ahead. What do you think the terrain of this mountain looks like? By the way, it's like a pair of giant panda eyes overlooking Daning River. This is the panda cave.

This is turtle beach. We can see a tortoise-shaped stone relief on the stone wall, which means that we have entered the Eighth Five-Year Gorge, the second gorge of the Three Gorges. The Eighth Five-Year Gorge is ten kilometers long, with towering peaks, faint flowing water and stalactites like people, things and animals. Among them, the most lovely one is Monkey Fishing for the Moon. Look, this is a monkey fishing for the moon. You see, stalactites more than one meter long are hanging upside down, jumping on the water like naughty monkeys. Do you think so?

Dear friends, now we are in the valley of Tridi Gorge. Cuidixia Gorge, as its name implies, has green mountains and green waters, lush mountains and streams, and its reflection contrasts with the moss in the water, making people confused about where the mountain light is and where the water color is. It seems that the ship is traveling in a picture world.

Well, the trip to the Three Gorges is over. Now we are going back to the cruise ship to enjoy the scenery of the Three Gorges.

qutang gorge

After crossing Wuxia, the ship sailed about 25 kilometers in Guanggu (Guanggu of Daning River) and reached Qutang Gorge, which is famous for its "Xiong". Qutang Gorge starts from Daxi Town in the east and reaches Baidicheng in the west. Although only 8 kilometers long, the canyon is the shortest canyon in the Three Gorges, but it has the majestic momentum of "controlling Bashu in the west and Jingchu mountains in the east", which is a magical natural picture scroll and cultural and artistic corridor. Along the river, you can see Fengxiang Gorge, Phoenix Drinking Spring, Meng Liang Ladder, upside-down monks, white walls, Kuimen and other wonders.

Fengxiangxia

Entering Qutang Gorge, you can see three big white characters "Fengxiang Gorge" on the cliff in Jiangbei, which is Fengxiang Gorge. Fengxiang Gorge is a steep cliff. Above the cliff, there are several gaps. From a distance, there is a big gap with a pile of rectangular wooden boxes, which look like bellows, so it is called Fengxiang Gorge. Legend has it that the bellows here were stored by Luban in those days. 197 1 year, three herbalists boarded Fengxiang gorge and solved the mystery of "bellows", which turned out to be a sarcophagus left by Cubans more than 2000 years ago.

⊙ Phoenix drinking fountain Meng Liang hangs upside down as a monk.

Look at the cliffs in the south of the Yangtze River. There is a two-story terrace with stones on it. The terrace is a phoenix drinking fountain. There is a huge and prominent stalactite column, about 20 meters long and 6 meters in diameter, hanging from the rock to the spring, just like a phoenix at the water's edge, cocking its crests and craning its neck to drink the spring!

In the upper reaches of Phoenix Spring, there is the famous "Meng Liang ladder", a row of square caves larger than the bowl mouth, one after another, extending zigzag from bottom to top, which is called "Meng Liang ladder" by locals.

On the steep cliff next to "Meng Liang ladder", there is a strange stone protruding, much like a bald and barefoot monk hanging upside down, which is called "upside down monk stone". Legend has it that after the murder of Yang Ye, a famous Northern Song Dynasty star, his bones were buried in the platform of Baiyan mountainside-"Wangxiangtai". The Ministry of Meng Liang stole the bones, quietly drove into Qutang, chiseled stones and made holes in the precipice, inserted iron brazing rods, and set up trees as ladders to climb up. Halfway up the mountain, I was discovered by a monk. The monk pretended to crow and cheated Meng Liang. Meng Liang mistakenly thought that it was almost dawn and was afraid of being discovered, so he had to turn back halfway and failed. In a rage, Meng Liang hung the monk upside down on the rock. In fact, these caves are the remains of the plank road built by ancient working people, and the "upside-down monk stone" is just a common stalactite in limestone areas.

However, after the impoundment of the Three Gorges in 2009, all three scenic spots will be submerged. But you don't have to worry, as the saying goes, the old ones don't go, and the new ones don't come. After the impoundment of the Three Gorges, there will be many scenic spots along the Three Gorges for everyone to enjoy, and the beauty of the Three Gorges remains the same.

Kui men Guan fen bi Tang

The river at the canyon is less than 100 meters wide, and the cliffs on both sides are like knives. The sky is a line, the water is steep and the mountains are steep. There are five characters on the rock, "Kuimen is the best in the world", which is the west gate of the Three Gorges-Kuimen is closed.

We can see that the mighty Yangtze River suddenly narrows here, and the narrowest point is less than 10 meter, forming a spectacular scene of "floods all over the mountains, winding ponds compete for a door". Since ancient times, Kuimen has been known as the best in the world. On the cliff near the river, Sun's ten characters, "Kuimen is the best in the world, and the boat gently crosses", are engraved. In addition, Li Duan's seal script "Wei Zai, Kui Men" and running script "Kui Men, Qu Tang" are still vivid. Now, this Kuimen is worth a hundred times and has become the most valuable door in the world. Why do you say that? Look, here are five yuan and ten yuan RMB, and behind them is this magnificent and steep Kuimen. Therefore, I suggest that everyone must take a photo here, one as a souvenir, and the other as a way to bring home the rolling financial resources here.

The cliffs on both sides of the Linjiang River are covered with inscriptions of past dynasties, with complete seal script, official script, regular script and running script. They are as strict as the walls of a hall full of calligraphy in Mo Bao, so they are named "Divided Hall". After the impoundment of the Three Gorges Project, the stone tablet of Fenbitang will be submerged, and the state has taken protection measures such as in-situ protection, cutting and copying, and some stone tablets will be copied in higher places. "Fenbi Hall" is also one of the scenic spots that will be completely submerged after water storage, so everyone should be very lucky to see these scenic spots at present!

Baidicheng

After crossing Kuimen Pass, the boat arrived at Baidicheng, the terminal of the Three Gorges. Located on the north bank of the Yangtze River, Baidi City has been called "Poetry City" since ancient times. Bai Di, formerly known as Ziyang City, was built during the separatist regime of Sichuan in Gongsun Shu. Because it is said that there is a well in the city, in which white fog is flying, shaped like a white dragon, soaring into the sky, so Gongsun Shu calls itself Bai Di, and the city is renamed Bai Di City. After Gongsun Shu was destroyed by Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, later generations built a Bai Di Temple here. Baidicheng has always been famous at home and abroad for the story of "Liu Bei trusts an orphan" in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. After the impoundment of the Three Gorges Project, the water will be submerged halfway up the mountain, forming a misty and fairy mountain-like scenic spot.

Ladies and gentlemen, the good times are always so short, and the magnificent trip to the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River will come to an end unconsciously. Thank you for your strong support and cooperation. I wish you all a safe trip to Yichang and all the best! Goodbye!
