Wu Gorge is located between Wushan County, Chongqing and Badong County, Hubei Province. It starts from the Daning River mouth of Wushan in the west and ends at Guandukou in the east. It stretches for 45 kilometers. It is commonly known as the Daxia. "Famous. Wu Gorge is a relatively coherent and tidy canyon in the Three Gorges. It is divided into two sections: the western section is composed of Jinkui Yinjia Gorge and Jianchuan Gorge, and the eastern section is composed of Iron Coffin Gorge and Menfan Gorge. The whole canyon is abrupt with strange peaks and jagged rocks, like a tortuous gallery. The famous twelve peaks of Wushan are located on both sides, six in the north and south. The twelve peaks are beautiful and picturesque, and they are the essence of Wu Gorge. Among the twelve peaks, the Goddess Peak is especially famous. The beautiful stone pillar on the peak is like a slim girl. She welcomes the sunrise every day, and sends the sunset away in the evening, so it is also called "Wangxia Peak". However, if you visit Wu Gorge by boat, you can only see nine of them. The three in the south of the Yangtze River (Rising Peak, Qiyun Peak, and Jingtan Peak) have to abandon the boat and go ashore, and can only be seen near Qingshi Town. The Wu Canyon is deep and narrow, with short sunshine hours. The water vapor in the canyon does not dissipate, and it is easy to form clouds. The clouds and mists are in a variety of shapes, like swimming dragons, jade belts, waterfalls, and veils. Under the sunlight, they are very graceful and form the famous Wuxia Buddha Light. Yuan Zhen, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, left behind the eternal sing of "Once the sea was difficult to become water, except Wushan is not a cloud", which is a wonderful description of Wushan's clouds and mists. There are many scenic spots and historic sites in Wu Gorge. In addition to the well-known twelve peaks of Wushan Mountain, there are also Luyou Ancient Cave, Dayu's Teaching Platform, Goddess Temple Site, Kongming Stone Stele, etc., all of which attract tourists from all over the world with their profound historical heritage. A more suitable way to visit Wu Gorge is to take a boat downstream from the Yangtze River Ferry Terminal in Wushan County, and watch the magnificent twelve peaks of Wushan Mountain and the misty clouds and rain of Wushan Mountain all the way.
