Said that the Three Gorges on foot, I do not walk throughout the Three Gorges, Yichang, from east to west to Fengjie Nanjinguan Baidicheng that I have used plus travel on foot swim 192 kilometers of the Yangtze River Three Gorge - Xiling Gorge, Wu Gorge, Qutang .

Go to the Maoping Zigui, so I was wrong once considered to be two places. Xiling Gorge is from Yichang to Zigui Nanjinguan incense River. Rainy night lodging Zigui, guest houses across the ballroom night Shengge, and still sandwiched cassette sound, which is today's Zigui.
Zigui, there are monuments related more with Qu Yuan, Zigui name also came by Qu Yuan. Legend of Qu Yuan had a sister, Qu Yuan was exiled years ago, he came specially relieved sister brother, their love of their King, moving. After the man expressed his virtuous sister of respect for the county name was changed to "Zigui."
Qu Yuan, a great poet of the Warring States Period, Are Xiling Gorge of the Qifeng gave him a her side, full of brain Kinks, his famous poem "Lament," because it was right after the exclusion frame-up traitor, to join the Miluo River, 1:00 to Miluo River layers of water is also stir up the waves. Qu Yuan, the county seat inside the memorial statue of Qu Yuan is the most visible sign of Zigui. I do not know exactly who discovered the county seat where there is a cool image of elderly people, like the statue of Qu Yuan, he often stood near the statue of Qu Yuan has become a topic of conversation among the people to watch the landscape.

From Zigui boat against the river up to the Xiangxi, displayed in front of me is a color Banlan Xiling Gorge, the magnificent picture of spectacular, 1:00 excitement I kept the stern from the bow back and forth of the camera lens in the Each angle is magnificent. But also attracted curious locals watched my excitement.

Xiling Gorge is the western port of entry Xiangxi Eguchi. Xiangxi foot pier, a meritorious Saibei of the palace to see - white jade statue of Wang Zhaojun upright with head held high into the estuary in the Xiangxi a huge rock, here it is the hometown of Wang Zhaojun Han Dynasty palace. Xiangxi is also named because of Zhaojun, legends that one day, Zhaojun wash in the stream, inadvertently neck pearl necklace scattered in the river, from the clear stream, containing fragrance, hence the name Xiangxi. Perhaps the Xiangxi springs flow into the woman's heart, pride and wind, masterpiece beautiful woman reluctant to do a general odalisque, willing to marry long grassland Hun, finally disappearing Afar. Her amazing action, he has to clear a dangerous channel of Chinese history.

The time of blooming peach and plum to Xiangxi, that faint clear mountain stream water blue Jingjing, Huang Cancan of cauliflower, a paradise. This scenery is probably pregnant with ancient beauties and handsome front of the small drivers, it seems like a small sculpture driver pretty clever also in the "Little Guardian statue," he dedicated to driving his car along the upstream Xiangxi on.
Get off on foot along the Seven Mile Gap to the birthplace of Qu Yuan, Leping, there is little drivers to lead the way, I often stare at the small drivers, tall and straight lines, Lian Xing, the situation will not try to appreciate his pretty looks, he, blushing, smiling, He told me that name to the name-yong. Yong way to talk about a lot of local stories in Qu Yuan's hometown has a strange, where the cattle are not Chuanbi, able to obey the command. According to legend, Qu Yuan from the Chu were home when approaching the door to pick the book off the rope, and a farmer immediately bovine rope off his to him, and then on here, do not re-use bovine rope a cow.

At noon hour I climbed the highest point the village, Qu Yuan Temple on top of the hill, more than 2000 years ago, Qu Yuan was born here. Climb saw when you looked into the film Gancheng forest cover hillsides, overlooking the entire village, from which a stream flowing, white walls and black tiles farmhouse built on mountains, golden rape Fragrance Spreading overflowing. Gancheng here was the most famous specialty, sweet nectar clear fire and cheap, I do not eat it here.

Generation of interest-bearing home, Yishanbangshui villages, the beautiful legend of the Xiangxi, leaving too many moving stories Zigui. After the Three Gorges Project reservoir, the water level would flood the Xiangxi a beautiful, bronze statue of Qu Yuan Yan Dao Office, the bronze statue of Qu Yuan Memorial Hall, only demolition will be relocated Zigui.
