English: The Three Gorges (Sānxiá) — of the Yangtze River (Chang Jiang), in southern China.

The Yangtze Gorges region is an area of scenic canyons (gorges) and China's cultural history, spanning along the river from Chongqing Municipality east to Hubei province.

Qutang Gorge (Qūtáng Xiá) — 8 km (5 mi); narrowest, most spectacular, and farthest upstream of the Three Gorges.
Wu Gorge (Wū Xiá) — 45 km (28 mi); at the confluence with the tributary Wu River.
Xiling Gorge (Xīlíng Xiá) — 66 km (41 mi); the largest and farthest downstream of the Three Gorges, formerly the the most dangerous.

The Three Gorges region attracts attention globally due to the new Three Gorges Dam and its filling reservoir, which is changing the traditional cultures and environments — submerging the settlements, archeological sites, and scenic features upriver — offering flood control and water supplies (agricultural-urban) downriver.
