People's Republic of China

The Three Gorges (simplified, traditional, pinyin) are three adjacent and sequential gorges along the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, in the hinterland of the People's Republic of China, known for their scenery. The Three Gorges—comprising the Qutang, followed by the Wu, and finally the Xiling gorges—span 193 miles (311 km), beginning at Baidicheng of Chongqing in the west and ending at Nanjin Pass at Yichang City, Hubei Province in the east, between which are the Fengjie and Wushan counties of Chongqing, as well as Badong and Zigui counties of Hubei Province.
