..8.. yangtze river

the cruise has turned out to be more fun than i imagined it would be. a relaxing 4-day journey brought us to some cute touristy spots.

1 - Pagoda built leaning against a cliff, to grant easier access to a high temple.
2 - Minority fishing village with men who row or pull boats upstream with ropes, depending on water depth
3 - Three gorges dam

The last picture in this series shows a small white square on the hill. As we sailed along, we saw many of these - 175 meter marks, which is where the water level will be by 2009. Sad to see the huts that fall below that mark.
