简介：
片断：
重庆因为直辖而越显年轻了。位于西陵峡中
土段宜昌三斗坪的三峡大坝一俟完工正常落水后。
虽然瞿塘峡入口处的“粉壁墙”、“孟良梯”、“古栈
道”等景观将被淹没、但是，“神女应无恙”、“瞿
塘雄、巫峡幽、西陵秀”的自然风光格局不会改变、
雄伟壮丽的三峡仍会迷入的风采使游人流边忘返，而且
，尤为重要的是，随着三峡水库的建成，三峡江段以及库区两
岸幽欲深涧中的一批新景观将会相断出现。诸如巴东的神龙溪、奉节、巫溪、
巫山金三角旅游区。大宁河深处的红池坝高山草原。双溪溶洞
和夏冰洞，涪陵的芙蓉江和芙蓉洞。奉节的天坑、地缝等等绝世
奇观，亦将以更新的姿态呈现在人们的面前。
“长风破浪会有时，直挂云帆济沧海：。古老而
年轻的重庆、既面临着千载难逢的发展机遇，又肩负着
力重千钧的历史使命。在这世纪之交的时刻，若要问及
一个内陆的特大城市何以才能真正崛起，那响亮的回答来
自巴渝大地的钟灵毓秀、重庆儿女的勤劳聪慧，连同身边
母亲之河的奔腾不息……
