With the sound of the boatman's horn, the foreign netizens entered the Three Gorges Family Scenic Area by boat, and a humanistic and ecological beauty of the family on the water was presented in front of their eyes. The Georgian video blogger Torman said, "As the old Chinese saying goes, 'The wise man enjoys the water and the benevolent man enjoys the mountains. I feel the unique flavor of the wooden house on the shore of the scenic spot. And I also saw the life scenes of the aborigines being restored, as if I heard a hymn about the mountains and water."

Mexican video blogger Max and Spanish video blogger Noelia experienced a special Tujia wedding at the Wedding Folklore Experience Center.

Ba Wang Zhai is a fortress built of stone and clay, with a castle made of boulders and logs. The whole building is backed by a cliff, and the terrain is very dangerous. Jason exclaimed while looking at it, "The aborigines here are really smart and hardworking to be able to build a house with stones in such a place."
