Sailing through famous Three Gorges of Yangtze I saw in many places on the shore markers showing expected level on the water after they will finish Great Dam – 175m level. Now it is 139 m. So the true is that three Gorges will not dissapear! The river will be wider, some places looking like a small lake. The landscapes maybe will not be as impressive as today but the tourism will still exist here…
Disembarking at 6 am the ship at Yichang I was wandering if it will be possible to move in one day to the Huangshan Mountains. The approach from the west is complicated – no direct conections… The bus to Wuhan (private one cost me 70 yuan, Then in Wuhan I had 30 min to jump on the next one – to Jiujijang (80 y) and the I switched fast to next one to Jingdezhen (50y) – what a names! In Jingdezhen I took a taxi (they are inexpensive if metered) to the railway station – they announced that at 19.26 there will be a train to Huangshan. Great! It was ordinary train where I travelled in the smoke and rubbish with the hord of local people. But at 11 pm I reached Tunxi – the closest town to Huangshan Mountains!
