Us on the cruise ship.

|
 |
A cruise ship similar to ours ahead of us. We saw quite a
few of them during the trip.

Shibaozhai Tower is built right into and against the mountainside;
only three walls are man-made. When the Three Gorges Dam is completed,
the water level will reach the lower parts of the temple.

In the Lesser Three Gorges. As dirty-brown as the Yangzi River was, this
tributary's water was crystal clear.

 |
In the Lesser Three Gorges where we debarked for a while from the small
sampan (similar to the one in the background) that took us from the
cruise ship to this beautiful site.

 |
In the mist. Much of the cruise was spent in misty river
valleys like this.
|
|
 |
More interesting rock formations. Note the small structure
up on the hillside.

 |
A high bridge over a very narrow pass in the Lesser Three Gorges.

Well, that's it. Obviously, I wish I had taken more
pictures! (I still have a lot at home in an album - they're not all out here.)
We lost many of the pictures we took on the boat of us dining with friends, the waitresses
and crew, Mei-O's surprise birthday celebration, the Lesser Three Gorges, and the ship
in general when we took a lot of pictures with a camera with no film in it (my fault)!
But I hope the pictures on the previous pages give visitors to this site a general idea
of what the cruise was like. For us, it was the trip of a lifetime. We hope to do it
again someday. |
