3 Gorges Dam

haha..i know its very long since i update..alrdy thursdae..ok so last weekend..we went to the 3 Gorges Dam..very excited about it..

took a very long bus trip before we reach the place..took a trip around to take some photos..

after dinner..which i think is one of the few good meals i had in China..we finally board the cruise..suppose to be 4 star..but i dunt tink so..nothing much to do..hallway all quite small to me..the rooms are ok..good bed..but the toilet is terriblle..cant even flush properly and small..but all this doesnt really matter to me cos i usually spent my time on the deck..enjoy the view..

but the main event for me that nite..to see our boat pass through one of the water gates..in order to do that..our boat has to enter this gate into this narraw kinda canal..when the gate close..water level in there starts to rise quickly until we reach a new level..so that we can go through the gate where the water level is higher..

the next morning..weather is very very cold..so not prepared for it..shiver myself to the toilet..went to have breakfast..food on the boat..hate it..but i guess tts wat people here eat..get used to it..i dunt really mind..we then change to a touring boat..go up the shennong stream i tink..eh all tis trip..all tour guide speak in chinese..wat to do..


after that..we change to a sampan..wahh..getting closer to the river..got to taste the river water..refreshing..while i was on that sampan i suddenly really miss my dragon boating days..haha..so the villagers row the boat up..until a point where they cant row anymore as its shallow tt they have to pull the boat manually..its really a great experience for me..

went back to our boat..2 hour journey later reach our cruise..had lunch..had a rest before reaching another place..chongqin..its alrdy getting dark when we reached there..we tour bai di cheng there..its is famous for the statue and artifact of the wars..gotta climb like hundred over steps to get there..appreciate the opportunity to exercise..

when we went back to cruise..i feel so tired..had dinner..spent time with friends around the boat..before going to sleep..the next morning..we set off to go back to wuhan..back 'home'..on the way we stop at yi chang city to buy some local famous snacks as souveniors..other than that..i juz listen to my mp3 and rest till we reach back..

personally..i love the whole trip..three gorges is one of the place to visit..i love the great view of nature..although i know the dam help to generate electricity for the people..i still am abit against the dam due to all other problem that the project created like some environmental problem and relocation of people..i also wanne say that the standard of the cruise have to improve..three gorges dam is a famous place and alot of tourist will definitely come to visit..its their chance to show how good china can be..other than that..i really enjoy the trip..would want to come back when its fully ready..
