Three Gorges, Canyon system in Chongqing and Hubei, China.
The Three Gorges extend for 193 miles along the Yangtze River, comprising Qutang Gorge, Wu Gorge, and Xiling Gorge with steep limestone cliffs.
Geological movements formed these gorges approximately 70 million years ago through mountain folding in eastern Sichuan Province and western Hubei Province.
The Northern Wei dynasty scholar Li Daoyuan wrote about the natural features of these gorges, while poet Li Bai captured their grandeur in verse.
River cruises navigate through the gorges year-round, allowing visitors to observe the dramatic rock formations and geological features from multiple perspectives.
The construction of the Three Gorges Dam in 2006 altered water levels, leading to the creation of the Baiheliang Underwater Museum to preserve ancient hydrological records.
