In early November, only the section leading down to the sightseeing bus stop at the top of the Three Gorges had red leaves, but the scenery along the way was spectacular. After taking the ferry from Baidi City, you can see the Qutang Gorge, the ancient forts, walk the Sixty-Six Bends, and climb the final steep slope, a journey of about ten kilometers. The latter half of the climb is slightly steeper, but the path is easier to walk. As the altitude increases, the river scenery becomes even more magnificent, making it a very worthwhile trip.
The shuttle buses from the train station to the scenic area are very convenient, highly recommended!
