Xiling Gorge Shangri-La

Xiling Gorge Shangri-La

Nestled at the mouth of Xiling Gorge—one of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River—and perched above the high gorges and calm waters, Xiling Gorge Shangri-La faces the Sanyou Cave Scenic Area across the river, with the Immortal Stream Scenic Area in full view. Here, natural beauty flourishes in serene green hues. In spring, peach blossoms bloom profusely, their fragrance wafting through the air, creating a dazzling and enchanting spectacle.

There is no roaring of river waters here—only tranquility and peace. Gaze into the distance to see the majestic Gezhouba Dam sprawling across the Yangtze. The scenic area blends the beautiful Yangtze River views, unique karst cave landscapes, and mysterious tribal culture, making it a perfect destination for spring outings, relaxation, and life experiences.

The scenic area consists of three main attractions: White Horse Cave, Peach Blossom Tribe, and Peach Blossom Village. With its distinctive scenery, picturesque landscapes, and mysterious charm, it stands out as a stunning highlight at the mouth of Xiling Gorge—like a radiant pearl shining brilliantly. Just spend a little time here to enjoy the peace and quiet away from worldly hustle, and in the sunny summer days, immerse yourself in nature while admiring the hidden beauty deep within this paradise.

The Shangri-La Scenic Area is located at the mouth of Xiling Gorge, above the high gorges and calm waters. It’s just a half-hour drive from the city center, faces the Sanyou Cave Scenic Area across the river, and has the Immortal Stream Scenic Area in clear view. These three major tourist spots complement each other, offering striking contrasts. From Yichang Shangri-La, you can gaze across the mighty Gezhouba Dam and Hydroelectric Project sprawling over the Yangtze, taking in all its grandeur. The area also harmonizes the beautiful Yangtze scenery, unique karst cave vistas, and mysterious tribal culture, making it an ideal spot for spring outings, relaxation, and life exploration.
