And in 1986, scientists proved the first Chinese ape man, and even the first Asian ape man came from this area, their foot path can be traced back to 2 million years ago, therefore it is no exaggeration to say it is truly the Chinese national pride, symbol and cradle. Without coming to the Yangtze Three Gorges, one con hardly have his China tour dream complete!

Hiking the Yangtze Three Gorges is one of the top tour routes in China. Walking through this route, you can see the colored clouds over the mountain peaks along the Yangtze Gorges, fleets of modern and manpowered boats sailing are just under your feet.
