Which is the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River in China?

The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River are Qutang Gorge, Wuxia Gorge and Xiling Gorge. The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River is the general name of these three canyons.

1, Qutang Gorge, located in fengjie county, Chongqing, with a total length of 8 kilometers, is the shortest gorge in the Three Gorges. This is a grand and steep canyon. The ancients described Qutangxia as saying: "The case is connected with the sky, and the boat travels from the hole."

2. Wuxia, located in Wushan County, Chongqing and Badong County, Hubei Province, stretches for 45 kilometers from Daning Hekou in the east of Wushan County to Guandukou in Badong County in the west, including Yinjiaxia in Jin Lan and TieGuan Xia. The canyon is particularly deep and tortuous, which was formed by the Yangtze River crossing the Wushan main vein anticline.

3. Xiling Gorge is located in Zigui County, Yichang City, Hubei Province. It starts from Xiangxikou in the west and ends at Nanjinguan in the east. It is about 66 kilometers long. It is the longest canyon in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River and is famous for its numerous beaches and rapids.

Located in the hinterland of China, the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River is the general name of Qutang Gorge, Wuxia Gorge and Xiling Gorge. It starts from Baidicheng, fengjie county, Chongqing in the east, and reaches Nanjinguan, Yichang, Hubei in the east, spanning fengjie county, Wushan, Badong, Zigui and Yichang, Hubei, with a total length of 193km. Also known as "Three Gorges".

There are three gorge areas from west to east: Qutang Gorge in Chongqing, Wuxia Gorge in Chongqing and Xiling Gorge in Hubei, hence the name Three Gorges. The two sides of the Three Gorges face each other in high mountains, with steep cliffs and peaks generally higher than the river 1000- 1500m. The narrowest part is less than 100 meter. The Three Gorges was formed because the crust in this area is rising and the Yangtze River water is strongly incised.
