After they built the famous Three Gorges Dam, the level of Yangtze river in this area went up 150 m (and will go up another 25). So a lot of people (~1.5 million by official statistics) had to be relocated, roads and bridges, and whole cities built anew. This is one of literally dozens of new bridges we passed on our way up the river. The scale of this project is mind-boggling
Read John Hersey's book, A Single Pebble. I lived in China a while ago... years ago in fact, and took a trip up this river from Wuhan to Chongqing before going overland. It was a memorable journey, long before China opened its doors.
This is fantastic, Lev! Perfect light. Love the layers of the hills in the background and having the boat included gives us an idea of the grand scale of the place! : )
