“烟瘴挂”一词源自于藏语，意为“烟雾缭绕的地方”，是长江上的第一个大峡谷。该大峡谷由中国第一位漂流长江并遇难的探险家尧茂书命名。
The word “Yanzhanggua” is transliterated from Tibetan, meaning “a smoky place “. It is the first grand gorge on the Yangtze River and named by Yao Maoshu, the first Chinese explorer who drifted along the Yangtze River and died in Jinsha River because of hitting a rock.
