The Daning River, a 300 kilometer tributary that joins the Yangtze River at the mouth of the Wuxia Gorge, is full of shoals and whirlpools. With precipitous peaks standing on both sides and turbulent currents smashing against the huge rocks, the small gorges are in many ways like those of the Yangtze River Gorges, hence its name the Little Three Gorges. Famous scenic sites are: Longmen Gorge, Bawu Gorge, Dicui Gorge, Miaoxia Gorge, Yezhuxia Gorge. They are now attracting more and more tourist every year.
