Of the Three Gorges (三峽) of China, the largest one is called the Xiling Gorge (西陵峡), named after the Mt. Xiling. The Xiling Gorge is the third and largest of the three, stretching from Xiang Xi to Yi Chang.
The Xiling Gorge, being the largest of the three (around half the length of the Three Gorges), is actually a series of four different gorges: Sword, Horse Lung & Ox Liver, Soundless Bell, and Shadow Play Gorges. It is known for being the most dangerous of the three gorges to travel through, with frightening whirlpools and strong rapids.
