Overview

Hype:

Three Gorges Tribe in Yichang, Hubei Province, is a good place to enjoy the wonderful natural landscapes and experience the culture and customs of the Tujia ethnic minority. It stands between Gezhouba Water Conservancy Project and Three Gorges Dam Project along the Yangtze River. The natural scenery here is just like a painting, with the green mountains reflecting on the crystal-clear water, the quaint boats floating quietly, and the waterwheels rotating slowly under the blue sky. Also, you can appreciate amazing folk shows and acrobatics in the style of the ancients and the wonderful song and dance performances by Tujia girls and boys, which will bring you a lot of surprises.
