Yangzi River

Cruising along the Yangzi River, we saw different sceneries of Chinese culture. The mountains, the river, the trees… everything is green. Our boat went through many gorges along the river. It was amazing to see more awesome scenes after the boat made turns. There are narrow “roads” build upon the edge of the mountains. They have a history of thousands of years. People in the ancient time used them for transportation. It was impressive that people could build those roads at steep mountain faces.

There are some little towns built on the mountains. People have been living in those places from generations to generations. They enjoy the gifts from the nature, the beautiful river and mountains, and they built their own culture and civilizations. They probably are not rich, but they are wealthy carrying the great fortune that they inherit from their ancestors.
