Yichang is very, very beautiful. Early in ancient Song Dynasty its county governor, also one of the greatest Chinese poets, Ou Yangxiu acclaimed:"God bestows Yichang beautiful hills and waters. Painters can never make better works." You just see the Yangtze Three Gorges displaying natural miracles, the native villages of patriot Qu Yuan and beauty Wang Zhaojun telling moving stories, the ancient battlefields recalling heros, and Qingjiang River Showing folk custom of minority Tu people…. You can hardly resist these temptations.
Yichang is very, very old, A slice of potsherd or a piece of bronze ware will certainly describe to you the ancient Ba-Chu culture that makes a glorious part of history. Yichang is also very, very modern. The biggest hydro-power station in China is located here and right after the turn of the new century the splendid three gorges project will come into being. The rapid development of its modern construction is sure to turn Yichang into a big modern city.
