The wide part of Danjiangkou Reservoir is like a small Pacific Ocean, and the narrow part is like a small Three Gorges. The Danjiang Small Three Gorges stretches for more than 20 kilometers and is divided into Yunling Gorge, Taibai Gorge and Yankou Gorge in a natural mountainous direction. The narrowest point is less than 100 meters. The mountains on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are inlaid, with steep cliffs, mountains and rivers, and twists and turns.
Yunling Gorge is the first gorge at the entrance. In the past, both sides of the bank were covered with pines and cypresses, so lush that they looked like clouds from a distance, so it got its name. The peaks and mountains here are so high and the cliffs are so steep that there is a saying that "birds do not enter the cliffs".
Taibai Gorge is both strange and dangerous. It is said that Li Bai once visited here and got its name.
There are huge rocks hanging between the cliffs, shrubs growing on them, and vines hanging down, swaying leisurely in the breeze. It is really a craftsmanship that is difficult to paint.
Yankou Gorge is the exit gorge, so named because the mountains on both sides resemble the mouth of a wild goose. As soon as you leave Yankou Gorge, the Danjiang River suddenly opens up. From here you can say goodbye to the Little Three Gorges and sail towards the Little Pacific Ocean.
