World’s Hydropower Capital
Yichang city is located in the southwest of Hubei Province and lies on the northern bank of the Yangtze River. It borders Jingzhou and Jingmen to the east, Hunan Province to the south, Enshi to the west and Shennongjia Nature Reserve and Xiangyang to the north. Yichang is the location of the Gezhouba Water Conservancy Project and Three Gorges Dam Project, so it is known as the world’s hydropower capital. Every year, a large number of tourists come to visit this great water conservancy miracle. Some of them would like to take a 3-4 days Yangtze River cruise to appreciate the Three Gorges Dam and picturesque scenery along the Yangtze River. Another interesting aspect of Yichang is that several Chinese eminent persons were born here in ancient times, such as the concubine Wang Zhaojun during the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC - 24 AD) and the patriotic poet Qu Yuan in the Warring States Period (476 BC - 221 BC). Many historical sites are kept in this city.
