Yichang
The eastern gate of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze, where the Three Gorges Dam, gorge scenery and Zhaojun's hometown complement each other.
Yichang lies in western Hubei, at the dividing point between the upper and middle Yangtze, and is the exit city of the Three Gorges. The Three Gorges Dam and Gezhouba Dam are the main places for visitors to see a major hydraulic project, scenic areas such as Three Gorges People's Home along the Xiling Gorge show off the gorge landscape, and Xingshan County is the hometown of Wang Zhaojun, with memorial sites such as Zhaojun Village. Chaibuxi in Wufeng is notable for its canyon and peak-forest landforms. Spring and autumn are best for traveling. The gateways are Yichang Sanxia Airport and Yichang East Station, and the city is also a common start or end point for Yangtze cruises.
