Today I'm hiking the famous Dragon’s Back Trail in Wushan, China, in the spectacular Three Gorges region. The trail takes me high into the mountains, through clouds, rain, endless stairs and some incredible scenery.
I started the hike from the bottom and spent around 5 hours making my way up the Dragon’s Back. The weather wasn't exactly perfect, but that made the adventure even more interesting! The Dragon’s Back Trail reaches around 1,100 meters above sea level and offers incredible mountain views over Wushan and the surrounding Three Gorges landscape. And the best part? The hike itself is FREE!
After reaching the top, the adventure wasn't over. I still had to figure out how to get back to Wushan city… with no bus, no clear signs and very few people around. Luckily, I managed to find a ride back to the city.
If you're planning to visit Wushan, China, or explore the Three Gorges, this could be an amazing day hike to add to your itinerary.
Some hikes are challenging; this one in China’s Three Gorges is pure magic. The Dragon’s Back Trail in Wushan climbs through clouds, rain, and an endless staircase to panoramic views at 1,100 meters above the Yangtze. It’s free, unforgettable, and gloriously unpredictable. But reaching the top is only half the story. With no bus, no signs, and few people around, the real adventure is figuring out how to get back to town. It’s raw, spontaneous, and exactly the kind of hidden China travelers dream of finding.
