 As
one of the two natural gateways of the Yangtze River (the other
is Kui Gate, the gate of Qutang Gorge), Nanjin Pass is the end of
Xiling Gorge at the eastern end of the Three Gorges. The Yangtze
River, rid of the high peaks and deep canyons of the Three Gorges,
begins to show its broad middle and lower sections once coming out
the pass if one is cruising downstream.
On the two banks of Nanjin Pass, cragged peaks tower into the
sky majestically and river narrows. So the pass makes this part
of Yangtze River like a mouth of a flask. Here is the natural
boundary of the upper and middle sections of Yangtze River and
frequently the point of battles in history due to its great strategic
value.
Now, because of the Gezhouba
Water Conservancy Project, great changes have taken place
in Nanjin Pass. A bridge, navigation tower and buildings have
replaced part of the dangerous cliffs. Standing on the bridge,
the Gezhouba Water Conservancy Project is just within view.
