Located in the Xiling Gorge between the Three Gorges Dam and Gezhouba Dam, the Tribe of the Three Gorges scenic area in Yichang, Hubei province, offers encounters with a variety of cultural experiences related to ethnic groups, such as those of the Tujia people.

 

There, tourists can visit different villages while hiking along the Yangtze River. Dressed in traditional ethnic costumes, performers sing folk songs, dance in groups and share folk customs with audiences.

 

Standing on a wooden bridge above a stream, one can enjoy an idyllic natural scene, the stuff of ancient Chinese poems. Through the fog emerges a young woman in hanfu (traditional Chinese dress), playing a stringed instrument on a boat. Her peers dance on shore, traditional oil-paper umbrellas in hand.
