Tribe of the Three Gorges - Explore the Ancient Past

The wheel of the history seems stopped here, leaving behind a piece of ancient and mysterious idyllic land with abundant Ba Culture and Chu Culture. Meanwhile, Tribe of the Three Gorges, with a total area of 14 square kilometers, consists of the Village on the Water, the Brook-side Village, and the Mountain Village.

In these villages, you could see young women dance and sing as old sailboats moor placidly below stilt houses hidden in the bamboo grove. Maidens wash clothes by the brook side with their whirling batons; fishermen cast their nets in the misty distance… Entering the region feels like coming from afar into a dreamland garden.

The Village on the Water (水上人家)

At the juncture between the Longjin Brook and Yangtze River locates the Village on the Water, where the scenery, with the green mountains covered by mist against the blue water, is like a beautiful landscape painting.

The people here, from generation to generation, live off the mountains and waters, and stretch their ancient culture of fishing life.

The Brook-Side Tribe (溪边人家)

Located by a stream and against mountains, the Brook-Side Tribe is surrounded by mountains full of greenness, with the half on the land and the half into the water. You will feel like slandering in the fairyland with the fine rain breezing.

The Mountain-Top Tribe (山上人家)

The suspension building on the top of the mountain is called by the modern architect as "building with railing style". Due to the steep terrene along the three gorges area, buildings here, with Banana trees planted around, are mostly built by the mountains with wood materials.
