Every year, millions of visitors gather there to vitness this great man-made project.
Besides the breaktaking scenery, Yichang is also abundant in local products such as oranges, persimmons, Chinese gooseberries, tea, etc. There are all kinds of nice food in Yichang.

Hi Joanna,
I recognize your Friday presentation "My Hometown".
I noticed that your writing is very poetic. No wonder that the patriotic poet Quyuan and you were born in the same town of Yichang. I am dreaming about visiting some day Japan, Korea or China, and seeing the same beauty that you and other of our classmates were talking about on Friday.
