The first time I saw an underwater museum, it was the Three Gorges Migration Museum located in Zigui County, Yichang City. It perfectly restores the appearance of the county town of Zigui County before the relocation, which is now forever at the bottom of the Yangtze River. Its display form is very creative, bringing great visual shock.
I. Recommended Neighborhood Attractions
In addition to the Three Gorges Migration Museum, Qu Yuan's hometown (a 5A scenic spot) and the Three Gorges Dam are highly recommended as they are both very classic attractions. In addition, there are local snacks worth trying.
