Located at the exit of Xiling Gorge, Zigui is the hometown of Qu Yuan, one of China's greatly loved patriotic poets of the State of Chu in the Warring States Period (475-221 BC). The walled city, shaped like a gourd hence the name "Gourd City" features with traditional Chinese style architecture. New Zigui was built high on the hills above the river. It was built to accommodate families relocated as a result of the rising waters brought about by the Three Gorges Dam project. On the way you will pass very close to the Three Gorges Dam, providing a new and interesting perspective, and you will enjoy nice views of the river below. Visit a house in a small migrant village of resettled farmers. You will have an opportunity to question its dwellers, and view a garden and livestock in the backyard. On the way back to the ship, make a brief stop in the central square of the new town, and the quaint new city wall around the square. The area includes a small kindergarten, internet cafes, and many adjoining apartments for the city dwellers, much of it done in more traditional architectural style.
