China - Yangtze river cruise

October 02, 2007 - Permalink - No comments

We arrived n Chongqing for a 3 day river cruise on the great Yangtze river.
When we waked up, we couldnt hardly see anything through the almost eternal fog in this area.

We were immiatly surrounded by enourmes economic activity on the river and the river banks.

We have visited some places in between and finally arrived at the Three Gorges Dam - The Great Wall Across the Yangtze, one og the greatest (controversial) projects of the last 100 years.

The pictures will speak for themselves

My final opninion on this cruise : it was a real experience seeing the activity on the river and the huge dam at the end.
However the currently used river cruise ships dont have the comfort what we are used too today. The sightseeings such a program mandatory carry are to artificial and unpleasant.

I guess that in 2010 this river will be ready to accommodate tourist in more comfort and safety than today.
Those who want i little adventure today, they have to travel as fast as possible to Chongqing.
