D11 to 13 - 3gorges!

Back from the 3days 2night tour to know more about the three gorges. Set off at 7am, and it took us 5 hours by bus to reach another province of hubei, yi chang. Had our lunch at a restaurant there and then headed for some tour on land to know more about three gorges. Had dinner at the same place before going on board the ship at 7pm.

The main highlights on board was to see the scenery and also the dams. Most of us waited for the first dam to open at around 9pm. It was a long and freezing wait. It was quite a good experience to be there to witness the whole process of lifting up the ship to another level of water.
After which, a few of us waited to 3am for the process of the next dam to be completed. There's a total of 5 opening :/ It was a valuable experience (:

On saturday morning, we went to the sheng nong gorge and sat on a small little boat, which was row by a few old uncle. They are old, but still going strong! (: They let us understood the hardship that the people had gone through in the past, when there are no engine to operate the boat. However, some of the people there are still rowing the boat now. The guide also sang us a few of their town's song. I thought it was quite nice and interesting, like one of the songs which the guy will used to ask and know more about the girl's family. Went back to the ship for lunch, then went for another tour on land to know more about China's culture, and had dinner back at ship at 9pm. hahahs...

Woke up at 6plus on sunday, had our breakfast and left the ship at 7plus. As the ship was delayed by 3hrs, we dropped off early and board the bus back to wuhan. It was a 7 hours ride back to wust. It was really a long and tiring ride.

All thanks to the tourguides and lecturers who made this trip successful (:
