Xiling Gorge
A gorge renowned for its dramatic and breathtaking landscape, with towering cliffs that seem to pierce the sky. Clear springs and waterfalls intertwine with ancient trees, creating a dynamic and ever-changing mountain and river scene. The gorge’s geological formations have evolved over millions of years, with unique peaks and stones telling the story of Earth’s ancient history, particularly the “Niu Gan Ma Pai” (Bull Liver and Pig Lungs) peak being exceptionally distinctive, its reddish-brown rock formations resembling these organs, a masterpiece of nature. Rocky islets abound in the Kongling Gorge section, treacherous rocks resembling a chessboard, a perilous passage for boatmen, now offering an exhilarating experience of navigating the rapids.
