Situated at the south bank of Xiling Gorge, Jiuwanxi Brook Adventure and Amusement Park is the first scenic spot at the head of the Three Gorges Project reservoir. Jiuwanxi Brook used to be the place where Qu Yuan, a great patriotic poet in the Chinese history, had classes with his students before he went to the capital city. It is famous for its marvellous mountain, green water, strange and wonderful rocks and beautiful flowers as well as various kinds of plants. Also, there remains many historical relics related to Qu Yuan Culture, such as the Big Fish Archway, God Tortoise Altar, General Zhen Bao and so on. Here you can also see the ancient suspended coffins and the modern wonder——Jiuwanxi Bridge, which is the number one steel and concrete bridge in Asia. |
