Wuxia Gorge, one of the Three Gorges, stretches from the Daning River Estuary in Chongqing to the Guandukou Estuary in Badong County of Hubei Province. Flanked bycraggy peaks and grotesque rocks, it forms a meandering scenic gallery. The beautiful scenes on both banks are too numerous for the eye to take in all at the same time

On a cruise down the Wuxia Gorge, one can enjoy the beauty of 12 peaks. Six of the the 12 peaks line the northern bank: Shenquan, Jixian, Songluan, Shennu, Chaoyun, and Denglong. Of the other six peaks on the southern bank, only three are visible: Juhe, Cuiping, and Feilong. The other three: Jingtan, Qiyun, and Shangsheng are hidden behind the peaks on the right of the Qingshixi Stream, a tributary of Yangtse River. All the peaks derived their names from their different shapes. Changing with the seasons and weather, these beautiful scenes have everlasting appeal to tourists.
