When you take pea pod boat drifting along it, you will be attracted and surprised by its special steep ridges and peaks, blue and clear water, thick vegetation, wild flowers, flying birds, plank road built along a cliff, ancient hanging coffins as well as the local sweet love songs.
Minor Three Gorges

With clear water flowing fast through the gorges, and precipices and peaks towering to the sky, you can take a small boat to enjoy these extremely marvelous spectacles of nature.
Shibaozhai
Shibaozhai, a 12-leveled tower, stands on the mountain top facing the Yangtze River. It was first built in Qing Dynasty, 300 years ago. It boasts unique architecture and is regarded as a pearl in the Three Gorges Journey. It looks like a big jade seal, so it’s also called Jade Seal Mountain. There is a legend about it: Nuwa, the goddess creating Chinese people, selected many colorful stones to mend the broken sky. One of the stones dropped to here and turned into this beautiful tower.
Fengdu
Fengdu (Ghost City) is called “the hometown of “Chinese Divine Tune”. In this park, the Chinese ghost culture is demonstrated by a series of typical Chinese ancient building and sculptures at all sizes. It is said, about 1,700 years ago that two Taoists flew into the sky and became immortals. Coincidently, the combination of their surnames in Chinese is Ghost King. From then on, people call this place the Ghost City. 
Chongqing
Chongqing, with a history of more than 2,000 years, is located at the confluence of the Jialing River and the Yangtze River. Mt. Jinyun, North and South Hot Spring are favorite haunts for tourists and travelers. And it is a real fantasy to enjoy the evening view of this mountainous city in Pipashan park.
