Longmen, Bawu and Dicui gorges on the lower reaches of the Daning River (national 5A): narrow gorges with emerald water and macaques frolicking on the cliffs; remains of ancient plank roads and hanging coffins recount the story of the Ba people. In the Mini Three Gorges you switch to willow-leaf boats to drift downstream, and singing call-and-response songs with the boatmen is a signature experience. CNY 120 (boat included), 08:30-16:00; transfer from Wushan high-speed rail station to the pier; the whole trip takes about 4 hours.
Getting there: High-speed rail, Wushan Station, then transfer to the pier
