With an elevation of 820 meters, it is located to the east of Cui Ping Peak. The summit features ruggedly shaped rocks and is covered with lush, evergreen pines and firs throughout the seasons. Legend says that hundreds or even thousands of white cranes gather here at night, hence the name "Crane Gathering Peak." These cranes come at dawn and return at dusk, creating another scenic marvel of the Three Gorges. On nights when the moon is bright and stars are sparse, or during cold, windy rains, the cranes cry out with their necks stretched, harmonizing with the calls of apes—forming one of the most heartrending and soul-stirring scenes. It brings countless travelers to tears, stirring deep homesickness and a profound sense of melancholy.
