Yichang, known in ancient times as Yiling, is a modern-day city on the banks of the Yangtze River in Hubei Province.
Yichang lies at the eastern end of Xiling Gorge, one of the three gorges of the Three Gorges Dam area, and is the gateway to the Three Gorge Dam site, the Three Gorges(the Three Gorges being the Xiling Gorge, Wu Gorge and Qutang Gorge), and the many historical sites along the Yangtze River. It is an important city through Yangtze River Cruises.
The Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River has been a dream for generations and will be one of the largest construction projects ever undertaken by mankind.
The Lesser Three Gorges in Wushan was selected as one of the forty top tourist attractions in China in 1991, jointly by the tourists and the China Tourism Commissioner's votes and evaluation.
Wu Gorge is the most beautiful section of the Yangtze River, flanked by high peaks that are often capped by fog or clouds.
Comprising many dangerous rapids and currents, Xiling Gorge starts at Badong County and zigzags for 76 kilometers (47 miles) down to the Nanjin Pass in Yichang.
Shennong Stream, a tributary of the Yangtze River, rises in the southern part of the Shennongjia Natural Reserve.
