Best Time to Visit Three Gorges of Yangtze River

The best time to visit Yangtze River Three Gorges is from March in spring to November in autumn. In spring, blooming flowers on two banks are so beautiful. In summer, the mountain peaks are at its greenest covered by lush plants. As for autumn, you can appreciate the red leaves all over the peaks. However, the river water is turbid during the rainy days and the peaks are veiled in mist, therefore you’d better not go sightseeing there in such period.

Tribe of the Three Gorges - Explore the Ancient Past

Tribe of the Three Gorges Scenic Spot (三峡人家风景区) , praised as the “Protected Center of the Popular Culture and Art of the Three Gorges”, is located in the hinterland of Xiling Gorge between the Three Gorges Dam and Gehzouba Dam . Being the “ Two Dams, One Gorge ” tourist line, It is the only large scenic spot which would not be influenced by the Three Gorges Dam.

The wheel of the history seems stopped here, leaving behind a piece of ancient and mysterious idyllic land with abundant Ba Culture and Chu Culture . Meanwhile, Tribe of the Three Gorges, with a total area of 14 square kilometers, consists of the Village on the Water , the Brook-side Village , and the Mountain Village .

In these villages, you could see young women dance and sing as old sailboats moor placidly below stilt houses hidden in the bamboo grove. Maidens wash clothes by the brook side with their whirling batons; fishermen cast their nets in the misty distance… Entering the region feels like coming from afar into a dreamland garden.

Recent Notice: we received the news that the Tribe of the Three Gorges has been closed temporarily to eliminate its potential safety hazard by Yichang municipal Government. We would update the news once we receive its reopening date for you. Thanks for your understanding!

Take an additional optional excursion to the Tribe of the Three Gorges , where you will get immersive experience of the Three Gorges culture and enjoy the breathtaking scenery of the original Xiling Gorge without any influence by the construction of Three Gorges Dam. Please be aware that this optional excursion is only available during a 4 nights Yangtze River cruise from Yichang to Chongqing .

Longjin Brook

Longjin Brook is one of the most charming scenic spots in the Tribe of the Three Gorges. There are many stilted houses by the river, built by local people, and many of them are Tujia ethnic minority group.

Along the Longjin Brook, there is the Brook-side Village, where you will find young girls washing clothes in a traditional way, and a girl in red holding a red umbrella standing in the front of wooden sailboat. While the scenery, with the green mountains covered by mist against the clear water, is like a beautiful landscape painting.

Village on the Water

The Village on the Water is part of Three Gorges Tribe scenic spot, located at the junction of Longjin Brook and Yangtze River. The boatmen performance provided here presents the working scene of fishing and other part of life along Yangtze River.

One of the most impressive parts would be the roaring of boatmen, which is called “Haozi” (号子) in Chinese as a unique form of folk art of the Three Gorges area. The “Haozi of Yangtze Boatmen” was listed in the performing arts of Intangible Cultural Heritage of China in 2008.

“Crying Marriage” Folk Show

Another highlight is the “Crying Marriage” Folk Show. The show is based on the wedding custom of local Tujia people. According to old stories, every bride had to cry at her wedding ceremony. Otherwise, she would become the laughingstock of the village and her neighbors would look down upon her family.

During the show, the beautiful “bride” will throw a wedding ball to the audience, and one lucky man who get the ball will be invited onto stage and he would be the “bridegroom”.
