Highlights of Tribe of Three Gorges

Mountain Village

In the Mountain Village section of the Tribe of Three Gorges, visitors are treated to the unique architectural marvels known as “hanging-foot houses (Stilted Houses)” – traditional local homes with wooden structures. The topography of the Xiajiang area is rugged, leading to the construction of houses adapted to the mountainous terrain. These houses, built along the slope of the hills, are surrounded by bamboo groves and banana trees. Typically two or three stories high, with the upper level serving as living quarters – providing ventilation, dryness, and protection against moisture – while the lower level functions as a space for livestock or storage, acting as a barrier against venomous snakes and wild animals.

Within the man-made scenic spot “Ba Wang Palace,” nestled in the mountains, visitors can witness performances that capture the ancient Ba culture. Additionally, the “Lamp Shadow Stone,” perched atop a cliff, offers a picturesque location for capturing memorable photographs.

Waterside Village

The Waterside Village is located at the confluence of the Longjin Creek and the Yangtze River. Many generations of the Three Gorges people have lived on boats, earning a living through fishing. Their unique way of life, where boats serve as homes, is showcased here. The area features performances of the “Boatman’s Shanty,” with its powerful and rhythmic tunes, echoing the challenging and adventurous lives of the boatmen navigating the Yangtze.

Riverside Village

Nestled by the riverbank, the Riverside Village combines the beauty of the land and water, surrounded by mountains, greenery, and the enchanting play of sunlight on grass and trees. Here, visitors can witness local girls washing clothes by the stream and native young ladies rowing boats, creating a scene of freshness and beauty. The slopes along the stream are adorned with numerous pavilions, showcasing the daily life of the riverside dwellers. The area features captivating performances such as embroidery ball tossing, bridal pursuits, wedding ceremonies, and boatmen pulling ropes. Visitors are often encouraged to actively participate, taking on roles like the groom in these traditional enactments.
