Dayu Gorge Scenic Area (Northern Little Three Gorges)

Dayu Gorge is also known as the Northern Little Three Gorges. According to the "Lu'an Prefecture Records" and the "Pingshun County Records," two of the ancient eight scenic spots of Pingshun — "Red Cliff Hanging Waters" and "Dragon Gate Stirring from Hibernation" — are located within the scenic area. The legendary tales of Yu the Great taming the floods also took place here. The relics of ancient water control efforts, such as the oddly carved irrigation channels and the Palace of Yu the Great, remain well-preserved to this day. The Temple of Yu the Great and his Mausoleum can still be faintly seen. Dayu Gorge is also an excellent destination for rafting. The upper section of the rafting area features countless rapids and dangerous shoals. Drifting downstream, you’ll cleave through waves, offering a thrilling and exhilarating experience. The lower section boasts lush green waters and rolling hills, with weeping willows lining the banks. Paddling across serene lakes and drifting through reed marshes brings out the wild charm of nature, allowing you to reconnect with the great outdoors and enjoy a truly refreshing experience.
