As the water level of the Chongqing section of the Yangtze River continues to fall, many scenic spots that were once unseen when the water level was below 175 meters have emerged. In Jiangbei District, Chongqing, an Internet-famous river beach, is popular among citizens. Many citizens visited the river beach with relatives and friends in early summer when the weather is glorious.
The river beach was submerged under the water during the Three Gorges Dam's impoundment period, and only in low water season will it come up to the surface.
