A passage of archaized plank road, along the cliff in the Minor Three Gorges, opened to tourists recently in Wushan county, Chongqing Municipality. Minor Three Gorges, consisting of Longmen Gorge, Bawu Gorge and Dicui Gorge, are one of the major scenic spots of the Three Gorges area open to tourists.

The ancient plank road is submerged as the Three Gorges Dam hoists the Changjiang River rising in the upstream. The new road, in imitation of the old one, winds about three kilometers along which pavilions, platforms and suspended bridges offer varied sighting for travelers.
