0 The Chang Jiang(a.k.a. the Yangtze River)
0 Leaving Yichang…our first set of locks
0 The Three Gorges Dam
0 Ariel view of the dam project
0 Hours in the locks to get upstream
0 Reservoir on the other side of the dam
0 Once the dam project is completed, the river above the dam will be much deeper, as indicated by this measuring line.
0 We docked for the night…
0 …and watched the sun set.
0 The Three Gorges Along this part of the river there are three gorges. Here the cliffs along the river are very steep.
0 The water is not dirty. It is muddy like the Mighty Mississippi.
0 We watched another beautiful sunset as we passed through one of the gorges.
