In Enshi Autonomous Prefecture of Tujia and Miao Nationalities, Hubei Province, there is a county called Badong. Located in the middle section of the Yangtze River between Wu Gorge and Xiling Gorge, and 40 miles from the Three Gorges Dam, Badong is a bright pearl inlay along the corridor of the splendid Yangtze River. There are three mountains in Badong: Daba Mountain, Wu Mountain and Wuling Mountain.

On the 2,000 miles’ territory, Tujia and Miao nationalities live a happy and elegant life, which makes the land a unique one with its minority flavor. Although a part of Bodong’s territory (including docks, roads, residences and some infrastructural facilities) has been merged into the Yangtze River because of the Three Gorges Dam Project, the economy of the county recovered quickly and is developing in its own right.
