Wushan! A severely underrated small city in the Three Gorges!
Hi, I'm the photographer Croissant.
If you're visiting Chongqing recently
Please be sure to check out the red leaves of Wushan 🍁
This is my second time here
The first time was in summer, and I was shocked by its beauty
So I wanted to come again in winter
But this year's red leaves are redder than usual and later
The locals say that in two more weeks it will be the best time to view the red leaves.
I've put together a no-pitfall travel guide

March in the spring is bright and beautiful, with the grass growing and the orioles flying, and flowers blooming in profusion. The Wushan Gorge Scenic Area in March is full of life, come and enjoy the flowers and the spring scenery.
The Wushan Gorge Scenic Area is located in Longli County, Qiannan Prefecture, built along the Wushan Mountain with a superior geographical location, only 20 kilometers away from the city center of Guiyang, and is easily accessible. Unlike the bustling city, the 8-kilometer-long Wushan Gorge is characterized by overlapping peaks and the sound of flowing water. Wandering between the mountains and rivers, the air is fresh, elegant, and tranquil, like a 'green gem' in the city, making it hard to leave.
The peaks of Wushan Gorge are beautiful, and the river water is clear, like a huge landscape painting that vividly displays the magic and craftsmanship of nature, refreshing the mind and delighting the spirit. The continuous cliffs in the gorge, the lush bamboo and trees on both sides, and the waterfalls that appear to hang in the sky, are full of wild interest.
The Wushan Gorge Scenic Area is well-equipped with facilities, now featuring a high-altitude glass bridge, rock climbing, a zoo, aerial cableway, a mini train, and scenario-based script experiences, offering a variety of sightseeing and entertainment options to meet the needs of different visitors, making it the best choice for family trips and outings with friends.

Wushan Mini Three Gorges
In the Three Gorges area of the Yangtze River, in addition to the Great Three Gorges, there is also the famous Wushan Mini Three Gorges. In terms of gorge scenery, Wushan Mini Three Gorges is not inferior to the Yangtze River Three Gorges. It is located in the Daning River, a tributary of the Yangtze River, and is composed of Longmen Gorge, Bawu Gorge, and Dicui Gorge. Although there is a 'mini' in the name, its influence is not small at all. It is the first batch of 5A-level tourist attractions in the country and also the earliest 5A scenic spot in Chongqing.

Wushan is so powerful! I finally understand the meaning of "once you've seen the vast ocean, you'll never be satisfied with a river".
What should I do! I've been wanting to recite poetry since I came to the Three Gorges! The books I've read in the past have finally come in handy!
"Monkeys on both banks keep up an endless chatter, my light boat has already passed countless mountains"
"Leaving Baidi City in the morning, amidst colorful clouds, I've traveled a thousand miles to Jiangling in a day"
"Once you've seen the vast ocean, you'll never be satisfied with a river, except for Wushan, everything else is not a cloud"
The Little Three Gorges cruise costs CNY 120 per ticket. It departs at 10:00 in the morning and lasts for 4 hours, including the Little Three Gorges scenic area.
The weather today is rainy. I thought the Little Three Gorges would be more beautiful after the rain. As expected, although I have a headache and a runny nose now, I can't help but say it's worth it!

The Three Gorges is a must-visit in a lifetime, so moving it will make you cry! Crossing the Yangtze River, viewing the Three Gorges
The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River start from Baidicheng in Fengjie County, Chongqing, in the west, and stretch to Nanjinguan in Yichang City, Hubei, in the east, covering a total length of 193 kilometers. Along the way, the banks are lined with steep peaks and sheer cliffs, with Qutang Gorge, Wu Gorge, and Xiling Gorge following each other from west to east.
Within the territory of Wushan County, Chongqing, there are the Lesser Three Gorges of the Daning River and the Mini Three Gorges of the Madu River. Along the Yangtze River within Chongqing's boundaries, there are scenic spots such as the 'Underwater Forest of Steles' Baiheliang, Fengdu Ghost City known as the 'Home of Eastern Divine Comedy', the uniquely styled Shibaozhai, 'The Splendid Ba-Shu Scenery' Zhang Fei Temple, the Entrustment Hall of the Shu Han Emperor Liu Bei, and the Longgupo Wushan Cultural Site.
'The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River' is one of the top ten cultural symbols of Chongqing, and 'The Three Gorges - Kuimen' is the landscape pattern on the back of the fifth series of RMB 10 yuan banknotes. Three Gorges tourism has its particularities, such as the attractions being scattered along both banks, and the rugged mountains on both sides are not suitable for driving, so traveling through the Three Gorges by water is the most ideal. Generally, when referring to touring the Three Gorges, it implies taking a boat unless other modes of sightseeing are specifically mentioned. The most comfortable way to enjoy the Three Gorges is to take a cruise, savor the river views, and disembark at each famous site for sightseeing, which not only saves the trouble of changing hotels every day but also allows you to enjoy a different landscape outside your window every day.

Chongqing Wushan | A severely underestimated place
Wushan is a severely underestimated place. A friend from Chongqing told me that before the Three Gorges Dam was built, it belonged to Sichuan, but it was not given attention, transportation was very inconvenient, and there was only waterway in and out, so many people have only heard of Wushan but have never been there.
After the Three Gorges Dam was built, the old county town of Wushan was flooded, the Three Gorges Hydropower belongs to Wuhan, Hubei, and Wushan still did not get development.
Wushan County, located in the northeast of Chongqing, is in the core area of the Three Gorges Reservoir, bordering Hubei. During the Warring States Period, it belonged to the Wu Prefecture of the Chu State, and the Wushan County was established during the reign of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, and this name has been used to this day.
Why is Wushan severely underestimated? Because its cultural and tourism resources are very rich, it is the core of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. Among them, the Small Three Gorges is the first batch of national 5A scenic spots. In addition, there are Shennv Peak, Shennv Creek, Dachang Ancient Town, Qingshi Ancient Town, Xiazhuan Tianlu and other scenic spots, as well as some places that have not yet been developed.
In addition to the beautiful scenery, the food in Wushan is also very good. The most famous is Wushan Grilled Fish, which is the best grilled fish in Chongqing. The taste is very good. Even I, a Guangdong person who doesn't eat spicy food, can't help but keep eating even if it's spicy.
Today we took a boat to visit the Small Three Gorges scenic area. The whole journey took four hours. The scenery along the way was magnificent. The river was sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, the mountain top was sometimes waterfall and sometimes cloud and mist, various landscapes came oncoming, it was dazzling, and there were ancient hanging coffins on the stone walls on both sides. You can enjoy the scenery and listen to stories, and the four hours passed without knowing it.
The ticket price for the Small Three Gorges cruise is 120 yuan. If you ask me if the ticket price is worth it? I think it's very worth it. You should know that the fare for a four-hour car ride is more than 120 yuan, and the fare for a four-hour high-speed rail is even more expensive. But this 120 yuan cruise can enjoy the scenery all the way, which is pleasing to the eye. Unfortunately, the mobile phone camera can't capture the grandeur of the Small Three Gorges, and the boat is always moving and can't take aerial shots, so you can only enjoy it with your eyes.
PS: After visiting the Small Three Gorges, we continued to take a boat to Shennv Creek. Tonight we will stay in a homestay by the river. When we open the window, we can see Shennv Peak. Unfortunately, the top of the peak is always shrouded in clouds and mist. Looking forward to a good weather tomorrow to see the sunrise.
PPS: Now the transportation in Wushan is very convenient, not only has it opened up highways, but also high-speed rail and airplanes. It only takes two hours to get here by high-speed rail from Chongqing.

Experience the Three Gorges cruise on the Huaxia Goddess 3 upstream itinerary
Detailed guide to the Three Gorges cruise 🚢
Before the trip, I was always searching for guides, but I didn't find any that were particularly detailed. Let me supplement.
We chose the 🚢Huaxia Goddess 3 upstream itinerary this time. The ship was launched in May 2021. The tonnage of 17,000 ensures the stability of the ship.
📃Itinerary:
The downstream is Chongqing-Yichang 4 days and 3 nights
The upstream is Yichang-Chongqing 5 days and 4 nights
The upstream time will be more ample
Accommodation:
For each floor above the second floor, an additional fee of 150 yuan is required
We live on the 2nd floor. The balcony scenery is not much different. If you really want to see the scenery, everyone needs to go up to the 7th floor deck. And it was not affected by the engine
The room is a double bed or twin bed room, no extra bed
If you are alone, you can share a room with others or make up for the difference in room price for single occupancy
The room furnishings can be seen in the pictures, everything is available, and an umbrella 🌂 is also thoughtfully prepared
The broadcast in the room can be adjusted by yourself
🍲Dining:
There are specific meal times for three meals a day
Apart from this, the restaurant is not open at other times
The meals on the Huaxia Goddess 3 are not bad
The meals on the ship are not repeated for 5 days, I love all kinds of cold dishes
+498/person can upgrade to VIP restaurant, each meal will have about 6 freshly made dishes such as steak, pork chop, etc.
🛍️On-board entertainment:
3F, 5F shops (with daily necessities, snacks, cheongsam, hat accessories, etc.)
5F bar, 3F4F coffee juice bar
6F gym (three machines: treadmill, bicycle, sit-up machine)
7F viewing deck
B1 video game city, cinema (one movie a day, 28 yuan/person)
⛰️Onshore projects:
There are paid and free projects every day (Three Gorges Dam, Small Three Gorges, Snow Jade Cave)
If you don't want to play too tired, just participate in free projects
Spend the rest of the half day leisurely on the ship
✨Summary:
I highly recommend everyone to experience it. The whole itinerary is very fulfilling. A schedule for the second day will be sent every day, and the arrangements are clear. The service attitude of the staff on the ship is very good. The biggest complaint is that in order to catch up with breakfast, you have to get up before 7 o'clock every day.

II. Scenic Spot Experience

Longmen Gorge is the first gorge of Wushan Mini Three Gorges. We moved along the gorge, and the clear river water and the strange stones and grass on both sides came into view. Along the way, we also saw a waterfall, which was spectacular.
2. Ba Fog Gorge
Ba Fog Gorge is the second gorge of Wushan Mini Three Gorges, named for the fog that often shrouds the gorge. We walked along the trail in the gorge, as if in a fairyland. Along the way, we also saw an ancient building - Ba Fog Temple, which was quiet and peaceful.
3. Dripping Green Gorge
Dripping Green Gorge is the last gorge of Wushan Mini Three Gorges and the most beautiful one. The mountains and waters here are picturesque. We walked along the trail in the gorge, and from time to time we could see some wild animals shuttling through the forest, adding a lot of fun to the whole trip.

I have long heard that the beauty of the Three Gorges in Wushan is only incomprehensible. Only when I am there can I see this grand scene. Although the mountain is beautiful, the small Three Gorges that are worn in the mountains like green ribbons are beautiful and beautiful. People are fascinated. Wushan Small Three Gorges, also known as Daning River Hill Gorge, from Wushan County in the south to Dachang City in the north. The small three gorges flow through the mountains and peaks, the cliffs stand, the spectacle is endless, and because of this, there is always praise that it is "not the Three Gorges, better than the Three Gorges."
The boat travels slowly on the surface of the water, leaving only the piece of film behind it. When you enjoy the scenery of the mountains and rivers, you will not come to the Longmen Gorge, which is known as the gateway to the Three Gorges. At the mouth of the gorge, the cliffs on both sides of the strait are opposite, and the sky is straight. The cliffs are covered with green trees, and the water flows between the two walls. Looking across the distance, the cliff is proud and stand out, and the momentum is so majestic. The so-called "Dragon Gate" is here. The Longmen Bridge, which spans the river and connects the two banks, adds a majestic and magnificent atmosphere to the Longmen Gorge.
When passing the Longmen Gorge by boat, the feeling of peak height and valley depth is most obvious. Perhaps because the gorge is narrow, it seems to be high; perhaps it is the peak height, so the gorge is narrow; or the gorge is narrow and high, which complement each other. In short, the boat trip between the two walls, looking up at the sky, a line of stunned; looking around, only see the strange peaks of different stones, layers of jade.

The Genting Observation Deck is currently an open natural rock. The viewing platform is facing the Red Cliff Sky (also known as the Double Eagle Screen), which is named after the steep cliffs with two peaks like eagle. The glass walkway constructed at the observation deck to the epitaxial exhibition can be in close contact with the opposite "Chibi Ferris" on the glass path.

The starting point of the tourist road is Qixing Village and the end point is Wangxia Village. The whole journey is 23 kilometers, it takes more than an hour, but during the canyon stream, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery from time to time, which is a paradise for self-driving enthusiasts.
Here is a sea of mountains, vast and green, like a sea of unpredictable, majestic and dangerous. From far and near, different undulating hills have planted different crops. The arrival of autumn makes the peaks have different colors, golden to deep red, which is the charm of autumn.
The reincarnation of the four seasons, the leaves of the mountains have covered all the emotions, and finally began to burn themselves, clustered, I have never seen such a golden autumn in the south, I could not help but press the shutter.
On the way, you will pass through the Walnut Ping Resort, which is a valuable alpine basin on the banks of the Yangtze River. In the future, there will be restaurants, parent-child parks, pastoral markets, and homestays. The Three Gorges Scenic Eye is created with the concept of camera and sailboat. It creates the world's largest camera at the top of the Wu Gorge. It has a huge pinhole camera imaging area, an art exhibition area, and a tea and coffee leisure space. Visitors who are currently coming can already see outdoor sculptures. The sculptures are connected to the huge mountain peaks behind them, which is very domineering.

Boating the small Three Gorges of Wushan and watching the most romantic canyons. The best way to enter the Three Gorges is to take a boat through the beautiful rivers of the Three Gorges, and take the boat up the river from the Dicui Gorge. This does not seem easy. However, for the explorers, it is very attractive, because only through this trek can you really find the peace away from the hustle and bustle. The
little Three Gorges is located on the Madu River, a tributary of the Dicui Gorge in the Daning River. It is the general name for the Changtan Gorge, the Qinwang Gorge and the Sanjiao Gorge. From the aspect of appearance and scenery, its waterway is more narrow, the mountain is particularly strange, the valley is deeper and deeper, and the water quality is more pure and pure.
The boat is rafting along the entrance. The peaks and peaks along the way, the mountains and rivers are in harmony, and the scenery is beautiful. Continue to go deep into the canyon. The cliffs on both sides of the cliff face each other, and the walls are narrow and the river is narrow, revealing the temptation of the mountains.
The boat is slowly driving in the river. In the villages in the distance, the villagers sing the bright folk songs and welcome the guests from far away. The boatmans voice also generated interest, responding to the mountain villagers with a passionate mountain song. With the singing and singing, the landscape along the way has changed even more beautifully. The original vegetation is scattered all over the place, and the green scent is everywhere. The strange stalactites are born everywhere, exudes the original quaint atmosphere, full of rich poetic and artistic meaning, which is the only thing that returns to the truth and embraces nature.
