Three Gorges Grand Waterfall
三峡大瀑布
A gorge waterfall scenic area in Yiling District, where the main fall is about 102 m high and visitors can walk behind its curtain of water.
The Three Gorges Grand Waterfall lies in Xiaofeng Town, Yiling District, about 30 km from Yichang's urban area. The gorge contains more than 30 waterfalls. The main fall is about 102 m high and 80 m wide, and is known as the “No. 1 Waterfall in Central China.” Its key feature is a walkway that passes behind the main fall, so visitors can get close enough to “walk through the waterfall.” You will get wet, and the park sells raincoats and slippers. Tickets cost about 105–115 yuan, and a visit takes about 3 hours, mostly on stone-step paths. Summer is crowded, so arrive early and leave spare clothes in the car.
