English: The Three Gorges (Sānxiá) — of the Chang Jiang (Yangtze River), in southern China.
-
- The Yangtze Gorges region is an area of scenic canyons (gorges) and China's cultural history, spanning along the river from Chongqing Municipality east to Hubei province.
- Qutang Gorge (Qūtáng Xiá) — 8 km (5 mi); narrowest, most spectacular, and farthest upstream of the Three Gorges.
- Wu Gorge (Wū Xiá) — 45 km (28 mi); at the confluence with the tributary Wu River.
- Xiling Gorge (Xīlíng Xiá) — 66 km (41 mi); the largest and farthest downstream of the Three Gorges, formerly the the most dangerous.
-
- The Three Gorges region attracts attention globally due to the new Three Gorges Dam and its filling reservoir, which is changing the traditional cultures and environments — submerging the settlements, archeological sites, and scenic features upriver — offering flood control and water supplies (agricultural-urban) downriver.
