 Known as the Lesser Three Gorges to differentiate it from the Yangtze River, a trek up the Daninghe reveals more than just a tour of several of the region's most spectacular bridges.  The initial Dragon Gate gorge has many wonders beginning with glass plank walkways and Karst rock stalactites tagged with colorful names like Monkey Fishing in the Air and Fairy Peach Peak.

 The Longmen "Dragon Gate" Second Bridge is actually the third major bridge at this crossing as a concrete arch also known as Dragon Gate Bridge existed from 1987 to 2008 before the rising waters of the 3 Gorges reservoir forced its removal.  The concrete arch gateway marked the starting point for millions of tourists on their boating adventure up the most spectacular tributary of the entire Yangtze River 3 Gorges region - the Daninghe.
