Wu Gorge

Formed by the Wu River, it stretches 45 km (28 mi) from Wushan to Guandukou, and is located downstream of Qutang Gorge and upstream of Xiling Gorge.

In 589 AD, General Lü Zhongsu of the Chen dynasty stationed troops in the Wuxia and Xiling Gorges in an attempt to stop the advancing Sui dynasty armies.

Tang dynasty poet Yang Jiong wrote a classical poem entitled "Passing Wuxia Gorge" (Chinese: 過巫峽).

Legend has it that this peak is the incarnation of Yaoji who assisted Yu the Great in controlling the waters.
