## About Xiling Gorge Scenic Area

The Xiling Gorge is the gateway to the Three Gorges and a key passage between Sichuan and Hubei, famous for its dangers. It is the most perilous stretch of the Three Gorges. Main attractions include the Leizu Temple, Peach Blossom Village, White Horse Cave, and the Xiling Gorge Happy Valley, among eight major scenic areas. Peach Blossom Village is especially famous for its “Five Peach Fairies” (Five-Colour Peach, Sun-and-Moon Peach, Scarlet Peach, Jade Peach and Human-Face Peach), ornamental peach trees that stand proudly among the groves. Xiling Gorge Happy Valley focuses on entertainment and adventure, with bungee jumping, rock climbing, zip-lining and rafting.
