Yangtze River Cruise Pictures From A Journey To Wuhan.
**
**
The Yangtze River water, laden with silt, carrying the yellow earth down to the sea, was in stark contrast to the clear mountain waters we had seen during our visit to the China town of Dazu. Our first glimpse of the Yangtze river was from a good vantage point on the upper levels of the peninsular, when we were taken to see a Transmitter Station, and from where we could see the mist shrouded waters below. To get to our boat for our Yangtze river cruise, we walked down a series of wide concrete steps, down which porters had hauled our heavy luggage. There were many more porters waiting for us, hoping to earn a few extra yuan by taking our hand luggage to the boat.
There are hardly any "statistics", technical or otherwise, on these Yangtze River Cruise pages, but from these pictures of the Yangtze River ( Not in chronological order) together with the short comments, you may have a glimpse of life on the river and embankment, seen during our Yangtze river cruise, which will soon disappear as the water levels rise on completion of the new, "Three Gorges' Dam".

| Before we started, there was a good opportunity to take pictures from our Yangtze river cruise boat of passengers boarding other Yangtze boats, large enough to carry hundreds of people, whose luggage probably included a few ducks, and perhaps a piglet or two. |

| Is this a boat or a landing stage? Whichever it is, courage would seem to be needed to walk the planks over the treacherous Yangtze river waters, to get on board. |

| Small motorized cargo boats, this one loaded with coal, had an easier time moving against the currents of the Yangtze River than the ancient boats with their oarsmen and sails. |
