The Qutang Gorge is beautiful! The boat trip was great, but Baidi Island was a bit of a filler. It was boring and newly built, just for show. After a long climb, I was speechless. The Three Gorges are truly beautiful, and the wonders of nature are always captivating! The only thing that's lost is the dam, which made the water so calm and still. It's a bit of a loss of the gorge's soul.
Personally, I think the entrance fee to the scenic spot is too high and the playability is relatively low. I suggest that friends who go there should have a tour guide to explain, otherwise it will be boring to wander around by yourself! Those who like history can go there. I am obsessed with Li Bai's poems, so I went there 🤣🤣

This scenic spot is highly recommended, featuring multiple live performances of various genres. Upon entering, there are two options: a cable car and an escalator, which are both energy-saving. It's recommended to allow ample time for the visit; a full day is quite relaxing and enjoyable.
The scenic area is small and a bit commercialized. The boat ride to and from the Three Gorges offers pleasant views. The elevators inside the scenic area are a rip-off, costing 30 yuan for three small elevators. The five elevators in the Three Gorges Dam are all free. The performance square was very crowded, so I only watched from the outside platform. Longjin Creek is a great place to play in the water, refreshing and cooling. Bring your own slippers if you want to play in the water; slippers inside are 30 yuan a pair.

It was so hot🥵, overall it was okay, the same price as the official price, no discount. I spent 65/person on the way (I understand the tour guide), so be careful when choosing if you have elderly people or small children in hot weather.
Climb up Tanziling to overlook the panoramic view of the dam, and truly experience the grandeur of "high gorge and flat lake"! Through the sand table model and the guide's explanation, you can deeply understand the wisdom and hardship of this world-class project, and patriotic feelings will be ignited instantly. It is suitable for bringing elders and children to experience.

The Three Gorges Dam, a leading national water conservancy project, is highly recommended. First, admire the high gorges and the flat lake, then experience the vertical boat lift, which takes you over a hundred meters up and down. It's truly breathtaking.
The cruise ship is very new and comfortable. Because there are few people, the experience of the two dams is great. The tour guide's explanation is very wonderful, allowing the children to absorb a lot of knowledge about the country's important equipment.
The sky is the most beautiful, the scenery is beautiful all the way, and it is worth the trip!

Qu Yuan's hometown is still worth a visit. In the hot summer, I was fortunate to have the guide Xiao Wu from the scenic area to introduce it. He was very professional. The cultural landscape needs to be introduced by the tour guide.
After entering the scenic area, you can walk a few hundred meters to the square. I personally think it is not necessary to take a sightseeing bus!
There are not many people on weekdays, and the sun is relatively hot. After entering, you go to the top and contribute 10 yuan to Qu Gong for orchids. There will be a small ceremony, planting orchids, and then contributing, three bows!
We are in a hurry, so we left without seeing anything else!
Opposite the square is the back of the Three Gorges Dam! It's quite spectacular!

No reservation is required, you can enter directly by swiping your ID card. It was a good tour along the way. I learned some knowledge about the Three Gorges Project. There were not many people and the experience was very good!
I took a quick look for more than an hour. The parking fee was 3 yuan per hour, which was very cheap. The car was parked in the underground garage. There was a staircase going up to the main entrance, which was very convenient!
Just entered the Three Gorges Migration Museum, was shocked, Yichang has an underwater museum! The whole museum is not big, but the underwater immigration building is really shocking. It is the museum that displays the immigrant culture and the Gorge River culture that many people used to be home. The exhibition is arranged in the pre-relocation, middle and post-relocation stages, rich historical objects and data pictures, with realistic scene restoration and multimedia display, vividly reproduce the migration process of the Three Gorges. Giant reliefs and group bronze statues highlight the spirit of immigrants. Walking through the exhibition area, I deeply feel the selflessness of their small family for everyone, and also see the vigorous strength of the reconstruction of the reservoir area, which is not only a memory of history, but also an inspiration for the future!
