Yangtze River is the longest river in China & third in the world. It begins at Qinghai plateau at southwest, flows through nine provinces and into Yellow Sea after Shanghai at east, covers total distance of 6300km & almost 1/5 of China land area. It flows through some major industrialized cities and makes it the most important river in China. However, Yangtze River also floods every year causing lose of lives & millions of dollars. Therefore, the government decided to build dams to control the water; and Gezhouba & Three Gorges dams are born (the latter is still under construction). Unfortunately, a lot of famous historical sides, cities & villages will be summered under the muddy river, which expect to raise 170m upon completion of both dams. And an ancient pathway along the river used hundred years ago is also not spared. That’s why my friend & I decided to track & experience a glimpse of this pathway that will disappear next year. And admire the fascinating The Three Gorges. Of course, hopefully, bring back some memorable photos.....year 2002.
