Well known for being one of the most scenic parts of Yangtze, the Three Gorges Dam is a major attraction near Chongqing.
Wu Gorge
The Wu Gorge is sourced in Wushan, from the point at which the Daning River mixes with River Yangtze. For travellers who are staying at Chongqing accommodations close by, taking a ride up the Daning River will let you see the mini Three Gorges too, at the far end of the water body. The river is about 40km and joins the other two to make the largest dam in the world.
Qutang Gorge
Beginning at Fengjie, which is a town that is about 500km away from the city of Chongqing, the Qutang Gorge travels to join the other two, near places like Somerset Yangtze River Chongqing, for instance.

Xiling Gorge
This river starts at Badong, where the Yangtze meets the Shennon stream. This is the most sought out rivers of all 3 as it provides scenic views of crystal clear waters, hanging coffins and walkways that have been suspended over the water itself. The cave on the banks of this river is prominent as the 3 greatest poets in Chongqing history stayed in the cave at one point.
