The Three Gorges households, nestled by mountains and waters, have picturesque scenery. They admire the first stone of the Yangtze River, the Lamp Shadow Stone, the first divine sign of China, the Stone Order Sign, and the first bay of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, Mingyue Bay. On Mingyue Bay, they invite the Moon Pavilion, listen to the "Li Bai" play, and the melodious sound of flute, lingering among the mountains and waters.
The Three Gorges Residence is located in Shipai Village, Sandaoping Town, Yiling District, Yichang City. It is situated within the magnificent and fantastic Xiling Gorge of the Three Gorges on the Yangtze River, between the Three Gorges Dam and Gezhouba Dam. It takes about 1.5 hours by car from the city center to reach the scenic area, then take the Sanxia Family Ferry across the river, take the cable car up the mountain, and walk around Sanxia Family.

The four strange stones standing on the top of the mountain resemble the image of Tang Monk and his disciples in Journey to the West seeking Buddhist scriptures. Whenever the setting sun shines in the west and the sunset sets off the peak, from a distance, they resemble the characters on a lantern screen, lifelike and lifelike, hence the name "Lantern Shadow Stone".
When Mr. Guo Moruo traveled to Dengying Gorge, he wrote a poem praising: "Tang Monk's junior brother stands at the head of the mountain, and the lantern shadows dance with pigs and monkeys. The most famous among the Lamp Shadow Stones is the Sand Monk Stone, known as the "Number One Stone on the Yangtze River for Thousands of Miles". It stands at the top of the cliff, shaped like a mushroom, weighing over 100 tons, with a load-bearing cross-section of only over 200 square centimeters at the bottom, carrying an average weight of nearly half a ton per square centimeter, making it a wonder of the world.
The Shiling brand is 32 meters high, with a top width of 12 meters and a bottom width of 13 meters. It is about 4 meters thick and weighs more than 4300 tons. From a distance, it is magnificent and has an extraordinary momentum. During the Later Zhou period of the Five Dynasties, the administrative center of Xiazhou was temporarily located in Shipai. During the Jianyan period of the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1130 AD), Yiling County in Xiazhou was relocated to Shibishan and restored to its original state in the fifth year of Shaoxing (1135 AD). It was established in Shipai for six or seven years.
On the water, at the confluence of Longjin Creek and the Yangtze River, several ancient sailboats stood facing the wind. At the entrance of the Longjin River, a dam has been built, intercepting the clear waters of the Longxi River and raising the water level. The river is green and the trees are lush, and the weathered Longxi Bridge spans over it. Several small fishing boats are quietly moored under the bridge, and the younger sister holding an umbrella stands at the bow, singing beautiful mountain songs.
Perhaps the natural environment here is too beautiful, with humans and nature in harmony and harmony. It has become a playground for monkeys, who are not afraid of life at all, playing with the posture of the Mountain King like no one else. Look, this is the mountain top of the Monkey King family.

The houses by the stream are not far from those on the water, leaning against the mountains and water. Half land and the other half enter the water, surrounded by mountains and clear waters, with green mountains and clear waters, slanting sun, grass trees, and bamboo forests, creating a picturesque scene. The antique style stilted houses are embellished among the mountains and waters. On the large stones in front of the stilted houses, several mountain girls are washing clothes and singing passionate and lingering love songs. The sticks and gongs are pounding on the stone slabs, making a crisp and pleasant sound. Not far away, the gentle sound of the guqin can be heard, as if in harmony with it, playing a natural and harmonious melody.
The leisurely fishermen on the stream are casting nets to catch fish, and groups of fish can be seen swimming back and forth in the clear stream. Fish eagles stand quietly in rows on bamboo rafts waiting.
The "stilt houses" of families on the mountain are referred to as "pole and railing style buildings" by modern architects. The terrain in the Xiajiang area is steep, and many houses in the Three Gorges are built along the mountain terrain, with wooden structures and bamboo forests and banana groves in front and behind the houses. When encountering high and steep terrain, pillars or walls must be built to level with the main house and merge with the eaves, hence the name "stilted house". Its unique feature is that it is low in the front and high in the back, with a corridor on the side and a balcony at the back, commonly known as the "Zouma Corner Tower".
Stepping into a house on the mountain, a few steps lead you into one primitive and simple house after another. Entering the house, passing through a door, and then another step leads you into another living room, like playing hide and seek. The corridor is winding and hidden, making it difficult for outsiders to get in, but difficult for them to get out.
Walking through these old houses, one can appreciate the individuality of Xiajiang people who follow nature, constantly resist it, persistently create life, and desperately enjoy life.
