瞿塘峡  Qutang Gorge

          瞿塘峡西起重庆市奉节县的白帝城，东至巫山县的大溪镇，全长8公里。自古有“西控巴蜀收万壑，东连荆楚压群山”之誉。长江南岸的白岩山和北岸的赤甲山对屹而立，形成一座天然的雄伟峡门；称为“ 夔门”。这里有“众水会涪万，瞿塘挣一门”之壮景。顺水而下，南岸景点有：瞿塘粉壁题刻、孟良梯、倒吊和尚、凤凰泉、犀牛望月峰。北岸景点有：赤甲楼、夔门古象馆，古炮台等。三峡库区形成后，古栈道、风箱峡等景观没入水下。

        The Qutang Gorge is 8km long, beginning from Baidi City in the west to Daxi Town in the east. The Mt. Baiyan on the south bank and Mt. Chijia  on the north bank stand face-to-face, high and craggedness, like a grandiosity  gate, so it is called Kuimen. There are many sight spots: Cliff  inscriptions, Rhinoceros-watching-the-Moon Peak, Kuimen ancientelephant museum, ancient emplacement, etc.
