Cruising the Yangtze
We spent three nights and 2 1/2 days cruising the Three Gorges section of the Yangtze River. Our flight from Kunming to Chongqing was very late and the ship actually delayed its departure until our arrival. It was after 11 when we finally boarded and it was straight to our cabins. Day one began with a stop at Fengdu. This city is located about 50 kilometers from Chongqing, and is sometimes referred to as the ghost city, because it was ...
Three Gorges

A later breakfast, as the ship sails through the first of the Three Gorges, the Xiling Gorge, which is the longest of the three. Our first experience of steep walls and ...
Ankang Finale
... the hotel - we figured it may be the later part of a wedding.
Sunday started with a bang - my alarm failed so I was running around getting ready half an hour late while Soph and Ben hunted down street breakfast of potato folded in an omlette - mmmmm. When we finally checked out the taxi driver was ready for us with some water and we sped away to the canyon. It felt weirdly like being in the valley at Lynmouth and Lynton, only with ...
