Two of the Three Gorges

Our boat on the Yangtze is a bit old and has seen better days but is the only one to go all the way down the river to Shanghai. Most ships stop at the dam (we'll see tomorrow) and people fly to Shanghai.


Today we went thru 2 of the 3 famous gorges of the Yangtze. The weather was hazy and it occasionally rained so it doesn't look as impressive in the pictures as it was to see.


We were able to enjoy the view from our front deck, which was really a treat.


In the afternoon the ship stopped to let us take a couple hour tour of the Shennong Stream, a tributary of the Yangtze which has similar gorges but smaller and more intimate.


During the night we pass through the locks for the dam and in the morning we visit it.
