Wushan and the Lesser Gorges
Wushan is famous for its Little Three Gorges located on the nearby Daning River.
The Wushan county seat is on the northern bank of the Yangtze River channel, which in the Gorges region was flooded after the construction of the Three Gorges Dam. The original town was abandoned and submerged under the rising waters, and the new town constructed on the hills above.
The population of the town is something in excess of 100,000, and the main economic activity in the area is coal mining, almost all from very small mines in the surrounding mountains. Tourism also plays a role, although tourist activity is not as great as it was before the flooding of the Gorges in the first decade of the 21st century. The Little Three Gorges are no longer as deep or as spectacular as they once were.

Longqingxia Scenic Area,Beijing,china
Longqingxia Scenic Area is located at the mouth of the Yanqing Old City River, in the northeast of Yanqing County. It is 53 miles (85 kilometers) from Beijing City. The scenic spot is famous for its gorge. Visitors compare the scenery of the gorge to the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, but its mountains are much steeper than those along the Yangtze. The scenery also resembles the Li River in Guilin, but the water here is much clearer.
When you arrive at Longqing Gorge, the first thing you will see is the Longqing Dam. The 230-foot-high (70-meter-high) dam is inset between hills. Looking to the north side from the dam, the picturesque scenery of hills and white clouds reflected in deep green water can be appreciated.
But how do you get onto the dam? Use the elevator inside the body of an artificial dragon. The elevator is hidden in the majestic dragon. It is 846 feet (258 meters) long and can take people to a height of 295 feet (90 meters).
Getting down from the dam, you have to enjoy the river and hills by cruise. Every turn around a hill in the river will surprise you because of the new view. The scenery here combines the charm of rivers in southern China and the magnificence of mountains in northern China, which will give you a deep impression. Along the river you will see the heavily forested steep cliffs and the bare limestone in different fantastic shapes, eroded by the natural power of water. To some extent, it is much like Li River. Many of these rocks and hills have their own names, such as: Comb Hill, Immortal Taoist Temple, Flowers Cave and Jingang Temple.
The most important spot that you must have a look is the Comb Hill, also known as Solitary Beauty Peak, which is 230 feet (about 70 meters) high and surrounded by water. It is the landmark in Longqing Gorge.
Flowers Cave is another must-see spot of Longqing Gorge, which covers 0.74 acre (3,000 square meters). There are more than 1,650 kinds of artificial trees and flowers decorated with birds and other animals in the cave. The flowers in the cave are divided into several themes like: Blooming Flowers and Northern Scenery, which will, of course, leave a deep impression for visitors.
After enjoying the beautiful natural scenery on cruise, there are many other activities. Bungee jumping from a hill, taking cableway to appreciate the blue sky and the clean water, or boating by yourself on the river are some good choices. However, these items are charged independently for different prices.
In addition, Longqing Gorge is special for its ice lantern show in winter from January to February. Although every year the lantern show has its own theme, the spectacular icefall against the dam wall is always the highlight. If you are keen to see the marvelous combination of natural wonder and human creativity, you can go there during the winter.

1. Take bus 919 or 919 Express from Deshengmen Station to Yanqing Dongguan Station. Then transfer to bus Y15 and get off at Longqingxia (Longqing Gorge) Station. From Yanqing Dongguan, tourists can also transfer to bus Y40 and get off at Longqingxia Lukou Station.
2. Take bus 919 or 919 Express from Deshengmen Station to Guishui Beijie Nan Station. Then take bus 875 and get off at Longqingxia Station.

重慶巫山小三峽遊船巴霧峽(鐵棺峽) Wushan Small Three Gorges , Chongqing (China)
東岸崖壁上有一金鱗閃閃的長岩,很像從天外遨遊歸來的巨龍,且龍首已經進洞.對岸山腰有一溶洞,洞口有塊黃色圓石,猶如正欲出洞的猛虎.西岸懸崖下有串串倒懸的鐘乳石,其模樣像是兩匹駿馬,其頭已進山,但馬尾和後腿還在山外.於是人們就給它們分別取名為龍進,虎出,馬歸山.此外在河東岸離水面四五米高的絕壁石縫中還有一具黑色的懸棺,俗稱“鐵棺材”,鐵棺峽一名即由此而來.據考這“鐵棺”乃是戰國時期巴人的懸棺,其並非鐵鑄,僅因其色相似而言.

舒婷
在向你挥舞的各色花帕中
是谁的手突然收回
紧紧捂住了自己的眼睛
当人们四散离去，谁
还站在船尾
衣裙漫飞，如翻涌不息的云
江涛，高一声，低一声
美丽的梦留下美丽的忧伤
人间天上，代代相传
但是，心
真能变成石头吗
为眺望远天的杳鹤
错过无数次春江月明
沿着江岸
金光菊和女贞子的洪流
正煽动新的背叛
与其在悬崖上展览千年
不如在爱人肩头痛哭一晚
