1st photo on my way....

Friday, we woke up early in the morning and ride the tour bus to our destination. We took 5 hours ride to reach Yi Chang, and then we have our lunch at ‘Yan Sha’ hotel. After lunch, we take another 1 hour bus to where the 3 gorges dam located. Then we change to the bus provided at the dam for tourists to tour around the places. 1st stop we went to ‘Tan Zi Ling’, they have the model of the whole dam and shop for souvenirs; and we also take quite a lot of photos over there because they have a pretty fountain. Next, we stop at ‘185 Platform’ which we can clearly see the whole dam. Then we go to the memorial garden which they try to keep all the materials and sources used to build the 3 gorges dam. Inside the garden there’s also a lot of pretty scenery and we can stand at the nearest spot to the dam.

After tour, we went back to the same hotel and have our dinner. Because of some problem in arrangement of time, we are late about 1hour to board the cruise. The name of our cruise is ‘Yin Yue Liang’, the cruise is much smaller than we expected! And the people there considered this as 4stars, so I can’t imagine about the others which were lower than 4. I share a small cabin with Li Ying, and OMG! Something crack over our head is the toilet can’t flush and there is no heater in the cabin. There’s only the bed we love most, its soft enough to make me miss my own bad at home. When the cruise started to move we can see the lights in the city light up like candles, because of we late for an hour, the cruise stuck in front of the ‘Ge Zhou’ gate for 3hours. Thus, the time for the whole journey was interrupted, and the touring time is a little bit more rush. When the gate open, all the passengers stand out to the balcony and see how the cruise move a cross it. It’s amazing; this is my 1st experience on cruise to see all these things. It’s wow.

Later, we have a cabin party in Yong Qi & Jasper’s cabin. We bought 4 bottles of beer and we play card game inside the cabin, the party ends when we go back our own and sleep. That night weather is as cold as our 1st day in Wuhan.

Next morning the tour guide wakes us up for breakfast. After breakfast we try to dress up and wait around few hours for the cruise to stop us at Badong County. Form there we took a ferry and tour around Shen Nong River (Shen Nong Xi), during the tour I experience all the mountains surrounding me on my both sides and it’s too long for me to see the ending. The natural scenery is beautiful than I expect. Mountains, river wide as sea and rural area with only few houses built on the mountains is wonderful, the tour take us about 4hours time. On our way, we saw few pretty gorges, like Longchang Gorge, Yingwu(Parrot) Gorge and Shen nong gorge. The ferry move until we reach the last stop – Shen nong jia. We experience human rolling and pulling a small boat to tour us around their villages along the river. In early time, the people used to pull the boat in naked but because of improving in time they are not naked anymore, but the pulling technique of boat using string is still used.

After the tour in Shen Nong River, we went back to the ferry and it brought us back to our cruise foe lunch. We finish our lunch and the cruise sailed and brings us to another destination, Chong Qin. We tour ‘Bai Di Cheng’ in Chong Qin, there is famous for the statue and artifacts of the 3 wars. They have hundred over steps of staircase; we need to climb up the stairs to reach the temple. At the temple I bought something special for my mummy and I hope she’ll like it. It’s a comb made of Chinese litteleaf box wood. It has the effect of antiphvretic and electoxiry relieve rheumatiuc and dampness.

After ‘Bai Di Cheng’ we go back to the cruise to have our dinner. Our last night on the cruise, we went to the top deck and see the night sky full of stars, and we chat and interact with each other. Almost midnight we went back our cabin and Goodnite! Next morning, we woke up by the announcement for breakfast. After breakfast we pack our luggage and alight the cruise to take the tour bus back to school. On the way, the bus takes an hour to drove us back to Yi Chang city and let us buy some local famous snacks and tea leaves as souvenirs. I brought 2 different local biscuit, hope it’s nice and my dear family will love it. Miss you guys…

After that we took another 4 hours ride back to Wuhan. We have some rest before having dinner…
