4 days on the Yangzi River!
We left Chengdu early in the morning, took a train to Chongqing and later in the evening got on the Yangzi cruise. Chongqing is not that great, there’s not so much but Hot Pot almost everywhere! It’s crazy, everyone’s eating Hot Pot on the street and in any restaurant! Woot!
We spent there half day and it was enough! Ahahah! The great thing begun once we got on the Yangzi river cruise boat, as the lady in Chengdu told us, it’s gonna be a chinese thing. The first impression about the room & the boat is something like… Augh! Ehmmm it’s cool!!! Well yeah, it was cool! Absolutely nothing went wrong and our roommates were cool, but the room… Was a little bit… Let’s say, small! Ahahah!! Maybe two people can fit in there, but we were 6! Damn!
In any ways, that was our bed, we got the deck access card and spent all of our spare time up there, where everything happened! Crazy things on the Yangzi, like spending an evening with chinese guys from Beijing drinking beer and eating chinese dried food, taking pictures with anyone on the cruise, try to catch something that the guide explained about the stones looking like everything on earth and so on… Amazing! Ahahahah!!! As always, we were strangers up there and everyone were starring at us almost all day long when we were not around for some excursion…!
The first day at 7.30 (as everyday) we got off the boat for the first excursion, the Ghost City, the only buddhist temple dedicated to the Hell. I was expecting something really awesome but actually it was nothing so… Special! But nice, yeah!
Then that night at 10.30 and something we got off for another temple excursion to another place, a kind of writing techniques museums, again nothing that special!
Ghost City
“Writing history” temple
The second day, again at 7.30, we got off to an island, a little island, where we visited some cute temples in a nice environment! In the afternoon, we took a smaller boat that took us in the middle of the small three Gorges where we took another even smaller boat, kinda wooden boat, that drove us thru a small river on a side of the main one, inside one of the three Gorges.
The temples
Thru the gorges
The third day, of course at 7.30, we took the smallest boat ever to get inside and walk thru a Gorge, one of the three big ones, on a plastic path on the water. This was the last stop before getting to Yichang and see the BIG, SCARY and AWESOME three gorges dam. Something absolutely, AWW! GREAT!

This experience on the river has been so cool! So amazing! So chinese! Cool! I loved it & enjoyed it!
