... those from Chengdu, Guilin, Xi&#8217;an, Guizhou collected in Chongqing, then transport to many other parts of China. The Three Gorges were once the most dangerous area on the Yangtze River till the middle of the last century. At that time there is nearly no motor Yangtze ...

... a<br>bus! This got everyone's blood pumping! <br><br><br>But we made it to the cruise ship by<br>8:30 pm. Boarding ended at 9:00 and we set sail at 10:00. The rooms<br>were larger then I expected and even still we upgraded rooms for a<br>minimal charge. So our room has two twin beds side by side, a cot, a<br>bathroom and a nice balcony. We will be making this trip on the<br>Yangtze in style! We are looking forward to being in one place and<br>having some down time. <br><br><br><br><br><br>

... They are trying to re-establish a panda population. In captivity the pandas live to about 30 to 35 but in the wild only until 15 due to the harsh environment. After the zoo we went to the General Stillwell museum, which is the only museum (or anything) that is dedicated to a foreign country. Stillwell and the Flying Tigers were a tremendous help to the Chinese during ...

... transferred to small wooden boats called pea pod boats. They are manned by a crew of 5 men. 3 men were located in the front, and 2 in the back. The men in the front rowed long wooden oars. They used their whole body to work them. The oars are about 3 meters long, and required a lot of strength to operate. In the back of the boat one man worked an oar while the other handled the rudder. It was a really ...

... after having a surprisingly nice breakfast, for once! Had a guide explain all about the gorges and the First Gorge when we passed it &#8211; although it was hazey it was beautiful. In the afternoon we got off the boat for a tour around Fengdu which is called the &#8216;ghost town&#8217; as it is supposedly where the spirits go after a person dies to decide their fate, either into heaven or hell. In actual fact it was like a theme park with people ...

... the bed and the shower. It&#8217;s pretty clear that this is so that &#8220;businessmen&#8221; can watch their prostitutes shower if they choose. Usually there is a curtain which you can lower for some privacy. In this hotel, however, not only could you see into the shower, you could also watch your prostitute pooping. In fact, you really had no choice, unless you wanted to stand in the closet facing inward.<br><br>Ick. And that, again, is why we carry a sleeping sheet.<br><br>Still, these ...

... stayed in Chongqing 2 nights but it felt like much more and would have been much more if we could have. There were not many people staying in the hostel. On our second night we sat with some Israeli girls who actually had some sensible things to say about the Israeli issue which was very refreshing. After they went to bed we played cards with the girls who worked there. Now this was just bizarre. They had all dressed up and had clearly sat ...

... modern city built in 12 years looks like. In the evening we were 'treated' to a cabaret show from the boats crew! The two Canadians really enjoyed it (as all Canadians are so wonderfully positive about absolutely everything), but the sense that the performers really didn't want to be there really made it quite a sad show for the cynical Britons (myself and John)!

... never use this company if you're going to travel in China!). All the neccessities had soon been covered leaving us with the afternoon to meander around the city and buy some provisions for the boat trip. Having heard from other travellers and also from chinese people that the food wouldn't be great, we decided to treat ourselves to some western food. Given how the next few days turned out, this was a very wise decision indeed!
