mao ze dong sleeping on the top of the mountain.
went back to the same restaurant to have our dinner and everybody rushed through their dinner becos we were already late for the boarding of the cruise by about 1 hr. checked in to our rooms and then realised that there is no heater in the room. so no hot water to bathe and sleeping will be difficult. the cruise is oso really boring becos other than staying in ur room, or go out to experience some strong winds, theres nth else u can do . so we played cards, joked ard and then it was our turn to pass through this particular dam.

gate opening.


have to float up ard 4-5 storeys high to get past the second gate.


there were five more gates to pass through ard midnight and from what i heard it will be much more fascinating then the first one. however felt real tired and slept and missed it.

SATURDAY

woke up early, had breakfast and then we went on to another tour ship to tour around the shengnong stream(sheng nong xi)beautiful view all around.


yin yue liang(the cruise)
we alighted and took sampans to have a even closer experience of the sheng nong stream. there is also this very narrow stream whr the boatmen have to get off and pull the sampan and get it out of the shallow waters. btw the fast flowing water at the shallow stream is very refreshing to drink.

went back to the tour ship and went back to our cruise for lunch. its seems that we will be passing by 2 gorges. anyway i just took pictures.
