The Ges vary from 300metres at their widest to less than 100 meters at their narrowest. Qutang Ge is the smallest and shortest Ge, but grandest of the three. The Yangtze River, mighty and rapid here is suddenly contained like a thousand seas poured into one cup, as the Song Dynasty poet SU Tungpo described the spectacle. High on the both bank, at a place called Bellows Ge, are a series of crevices. This area is said to have been the home of an ancient tribe whose custom was to place the coffins of their crevices, some containing bronze swords, armour and other artifacts, but the coffins are believed to date back as far as the Warring States Period (475bc221BC) Wu Ge extends 40 kilometers along which the river snakes between based strangeshaped mountain peaks, each of which has a reputation based on a beautiful legend. The story of the 12 Peaks of Wushan goes like this: 12 nymphs once descended to enjoy themselves in the secular world. Finding how perilous Wushan Ge was, they decided to stay there to protect ships.

Xiling Ge is awesome with its dangerous rapids, shoals, reefs, sharp turns, billowy whirlpools. The water at one point is so turbulent that it seems to be boiling during the flood season. Xiling Ge in the east consists of several small ges. On the top of another is a rock that looks like a sword.

Next does the Lantern Shadow Ge, which has four rocks, resemble Monk Xuan Zang and his three disciplesMonkey, Piggy and Sandy in the classic Chinese adventures of the four on their way to India to obtain Buddhist scriptures.
