Three Gorges Stair City
三峡梯城
A park of a thousand steps built on the mountainside along the central axis of Yunyang county seat, climbing from the river to the summit, with views over the Yangtze and superb night views.
Three Gorges Stair City is the central landscape of the new Yunyang county seat, built for residents relocated by the Three Gorges Project. A large staircase climbs in tiers from the Yangtze riverbank up the slope, flanked by green spaces, viewing platforms and small squares. It is the main place where locals walk and exercise. From higher up you can see the river, the county town and the Zhang Fei Temple across the water. Once the lights come on in the evening, the riverside city view is among the most popular in the area. Entry is free. Climbing the full staircase is strenuous, so you can split it into sections. Panshi Fortress and the Three Gorges Relics Park nearby can be visited at the same time.
