重慶巫山小三峽遊船巴霧峽(鐵棺峽) Wushan Small Three Gorges , Chongqing (China)
東岸崖壁上有一金鱗閃閃的長岩,很像從天外遨遊歸來的巨龍,且龍首已經進洞.對岸山腰有一溶洞,洞口有塊黃色圓石,猶如正欲出洞的猛虎.西岸懸崖下有串串倒懸的鐘乳石,其模樣像是兩匹駿馬,其頭已進山,但馬尾和後腿還在山外.於是人們就給它們分別取名為龍進,虎出,馬歸山.此外在河東岸離水面四五米高的絕壁石縫中還有一具黑色的懸棺,俗稱“鐵棺材”,鐵棺峽一名即由此而來.據考這“鐵棺”乃是戰國時期巴人的懸棺,其並非鐵鑄,僅因其色相似而言.

Wushan and the Lesser Gorges
Wushan is famous for its Little Three Gorges located on the nearby Daning River.
The Wushan county seat is on the northern bank of the Yangtze River channel, which in the Gorges region was flooded after the construction of the Three Gorges Dam. The original town was abandoned and submerged under the rising waters, and the new town constructed on the hills above.
The population of the town is something in excess of 100,000, and the main economic activity in the area is coal mining, almost all from very small mines in the surrounding mountains. Tourism also plays a role, although tourist activity is not as great as it was before the flooding of the Gorges in the first decade of the 21st century. The Little Three Gorges are no longer as deep or as spectacular as they once were.
Millions are relocated to make way for the Three Gorges Dam

Wushan Chinese Guy
