Shibaozhai Stone is 52 km away from Wanxian, simply a rectangular rock with sheer cliffs, standing on the riverside. From afar, the protruding 220-meter (720 foot) hill on the north bank can appear to resemble a jade seal, and is so named.
Wanxian is a small mountainous city known as the gate way to East Sichan. The city's silk-spinning and weaving industries are well known in the Yangtze Gorges region.
Day 3
Three Gorges
Three Gorges Wu Gorge, Small Gorges or Shennong Stream
Qutang Gorges is the first of the Three Gorges on the Yangtze River. With vertical cliffs of some thousand meters high as its two flanks, the Qutang Gorge is only a few dozens of meters wide just like a narrow gateway.
The Wu Gorge is gifted with exquisite peaks and lush mountains and ranges. It's deep and serene with changeable weather. The rolling River twists and turns and boats zigzag their way along, as if cruising in a fantastic gallery.
Shennong Stream, a tributary of the Yangtze River, rises in the southern part of Shennongjia Natural Reserve. With crystal clear steam flows swiftly from north to south through deep gorges, a sampan tour will allow you to experience a speedy adventure.
