Day 12 - 2nd day in 3 gorge (continue from day 1~)

September 28 , 2010 continuing from day1 in cruise. I didn't manage to sleep early even though its on cruise. We are all waiting for the second Lock which says the be one of the biggest lock passing through the 3 gorges. So after the first lock, we all went back to room to play cards , watch tv etc . Once there's announcement, we all will rush out from the room to the deck of the cruise to view the locks. Took quite alot of pictures since we got nothing to do, but cant upload all in blog because it will flood the blog with alot of pictures. AHAHA! okay lets take a look on my day 2 journey ...

Passing 2nd Lock, at around 1am?

Another cruise passing the locks too, But their cruise is much better than us!

After this we all went to nap and woke up early in the morning to proceed to another tourist attraction in 3 gorges . Woke up at around 7am to take breakfast and then went back to sleep until 10am before alighting the cruise to take a small boat to tour around the 神女溪. Here are some of the pictures i took.

Our Lunch!

After lunch , we proceed to another tourist attraction called 白帝城 which its a temple preserve long ago. Before reaching the temple ,we need to climb 400steps up to the temple. Its VERY tiring!! But i manage to walk up in the end! Here are some of the pics!

Self-reflection :

Today we had tour quite a few tourist attraction. First is the 神女溪followed by the 白帝城. Firstly for touring the 神女溪 in the gorge, it reminded me of the times when i was in taiwan touring the tarako gorge. It brings me back to the days where i also enjoyed alot with my secondary buddies and never forget what my Geography teacher told me about the formation of the gorge. As i think of it, it's rather fortunate for me to encounter such experience again. Next tourist attaction on 白帝城 is also another experience for me where i seems to be teleported back to the past where the surroundings were exactly what Tv shows. Also from there, we can view beautiful scenery at the top of the 白帝城. Thats all for today, Good bye!
