Wu Xia (Gorge) and the Xiling Xia (Gorge)
by darthmilmo
Next stop along the Chiang Jiang (Yangzi) River Cruise was at the Wu Xia (Gorge) and the Xiling Xia (Gorge). The trip trails down to the end at this point. You get to see the last two Gorges. As I said earlier, I trully loved this experience and would recommend it to anyone while the Three Gorges are still around.
Jump start to the Chiang Jiang (Yangzi) River/Dam

Witness history in the making between now and 2009 on Chongqing, the jumping start point to the Three Gorges Dam. Hurry up though since the waters will start increasing in 2003 and by 2009 the dam will be completed leaving most of the historic Three Gorges and sourounding areas under water.
Nevertheless, the city itself offers a glimpse into the modern Chinese lives, including some age old temples and monasteries. Take your time to see the difference in transportation techniques in this hilly city. Did you notice the lack of bicycles compared to other cities? Also, look at the manual traffic lights. I guess they have so many people in China that they can afford to use a person as a traffic organizer :).
