Twelve peaks above the Wu Gorge, and the fairy who guided boats
Wushan's scenery is catalogued as three terraces, eight views and twelve peaks. The best known of them is a rock with a job.
Wushan is the easternmost county of Chongqing, called the gateway to eastern Chongqing and sitting in the middle of the reservoir. It straddles both banks of the Wu Gorge, and the county seat stands where the Daning River meets the Yangtze. The ground is steep: relative relief is 2,606 metres and 96 per cent of the county is mountain. Its scenery is catalogued as three terraces, eight views and twelve peaks, with Shennü Peak at the head of the list, and the Daning's side gorges are sold as the Little Three Gorges. The old county town was submerged and the new one built on the hills above; an airport opened in 2019.
