Wu Gorge

Wu Gorge (simplified Chinese:巫峡; traditional Chinese:巫峽; pinyin:Wū Xiá), sometimes called Great Gorge (Chinese:大峡; pinyin:Dà Xiá), is the second gorge of the Three Gorges system on the Yangtze River, People's Republic of China. 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. The gorge straddles the boundary between Wushan County of Chongqing Municipality (formerly part of Sichuan Province) and Badong County, Hubei Province.
