Magic ensues when a modern marvel meets a natural wonder

Sandouping town in Yichang of Hubei province is a rare example of a man-made wonder with natural beauty.

Situated along the midsection of the Yangtze River, the town boasts two areas with the highest grade under China's tourist attraction rating system.

The two areas with the 5A ratings are the Three Gorges Dam, the largest water project in the world, and the Tribe of the Three Gorges area, a picturesque landscape corridor.
