## About Goddess Peak

Beyond the Wushan clouds and rain, Wu Gorge's other marvel is its deep, graceful peaks. Along the gorge banks, green mountains stretch unbroken, ranges rise like screens and pierce the sky, and the deep, long gorge and winding river mean that with every bend, the boat passes a new peak.
The peaks lining Wu Gorge include the Twelve Peaks, each with its own character, and among them the Goddess Peak is the most slender and charming. Its valley and shape resemble a goddess, and combined with its beautiful legend, the lifeless rock seems to have acquired a little enchanting spirit. At sunrise, the sun rises from the depths of the Goddess Peak, a classic sight on the Three Gorges. After the Three Gorges Dam was completed, the Goddess Peak was submerged by less than 50 metres, though this hardly detracts from its appeal.

## Tips from the guidebook

- Best times to watch the sunrise: spring and summer 6:30–8:30; autumn and winter 7:30–9:00.
