Cruising China's Yangtze River
The project is now on its 3rd and final stage. Water levels have risen 135 meters and completion is expected by 2009 when the water level will be raised an additional 40 meters. So, if the famous cliffs and mountain peaks are now partially submerged, you wonder, is there still anything worthwhile to see, is a cruise to the Yangtze River still appealing? ![]() In addition, we thought, three days on a boat, what will we do with the kids? they will drive us and everybody else on the ship crazy, this isn't a Disney Cruise... for beautiful scenery and a boat ride we could go to Guilin instead, that is some of the most beautiful in China and a Li River trip takes only one day... Anyway... Dad's wishes won, and the Yangtze Cruise it was...
And This is How our Three Days Went...
We flew to Chongqing where our ship would depart from.
