the Grand Waterfall of Three Gorge GEO Park in Yichang

Situated near the entrance to Xiling Gorge, the eastern gateway to the famous Yangtze River Three Gorges, this National AAAAA Tourist Attraction is celebrated for its magnificent waterfalls, lush forests, crystal-clear streams, and breathtaking mountain scenery.
Often regarded as one of the finest waterfall destinations in central China, the scenic area offers visitors an unforgettable combination of natural beauty, outdoor adventure, and refreshing mountain landscapes.
Explore a Valley of Waterfalls
The scenic area follows a picturesque 5-kilometer mountain stream, where visitors can discover more than 30 waterfalls of various shapes and sizes. Walking along the well-maintained trails, you’ll encounter a series of beautiful cascades, each with its own distinctive character.
Some of the most popular waterfalls include:

The Spectacular Three Gorges Grand Waterfall
The highlight of the park is the magnificent Three Gorges Grand Waterfall, which plunges more than 100 meters from a towering cliff into the valley below. Stretching dozens of meters across, the waterfall creates a spectacular curtain of water surrounded by mist, lush vegetation, and dramatic rock formations.
Fed by mountain springs, the waterfall flows throughout the year, maintaining its impressive beauty even during relatively dry seasons.
Walk Behind the Waterfall
One of the most memorable experiences at Three Gorges Grand Waterfall is the opportunity to walk behind the waterfall through a natural passage carved into the cliff.
As water cascades overhead, visitors can enjoy a rare perspective of the waterfall from behind while feeling the refreshing mist and hearing the thunderous roar of the rushing water. This unique attraction makes the park one of the few places in China where visitors can experience a waterfall from both the front and the back.
Beautiful Natural Scenery
Beyond the waterfalls, the scenic area features steep mountain peaks, narrow gorges, ancient forests, clear streams, and emerald pools. The Laitang River winds gracefully through the valley, creating a peaceful landscape rich in biodiversity.
Towering cliffs, dense woodland, singing birds, and crystal-clear water combine to create a tranquil environment that perfectly reflects the natural beauty of the Three Gorges region.
