Finally, we went to the Three Gorges Dam for the three days two nights trip! :D We took a 4 hours bus journey to the Yi Chang to board the Yang tze cruise!
On the way to Yi Chang, the view from the bus was so nice! There are yellow flowers along the roadside! Besides looking at the view outside the window,I studied at the bus as the lecture test is coming! Hope everyone can do well and the questions will not be too hard for us!
Finally, after 5 hours, we arrived at Yi Chang, it was around 6 pm. We checked in immediately after boarding the cruise and unpacked our luggage.
After that, it was our dinner time! However, the dishes did not taste good and there are people quarreling at the eating place. There are about 8 to 9 China men who were complaining to the waitresses and raising their voice to them as we,as the foreigners, being served the dishes first. The men were very fierce to the waitresses and asking them to pay them back the money as they already paid for the meal. Lastly, they went off without having their dinner.I thought about this incident after the meal. The men who were complaining should have be more patient towards others as there was only a chef who was cooking. They should be more understanding and tolerance towards their nations instead of pissing off to them. In Singapore, this kind of incident is not common, and I guess that if there is such thing happens, Singaporean will ask for the Manager of the restaurant to solve the problem immediately instead of raising their voice at the waitresses.
At around 11 pm, our cruise went through the first ship lock and all of us were so exciting! The water level raised about 44 meter after we entered the ship lock~
After that, raining started and I went back to the cabin to rest.
The next day, we went to the Shennongxi river! We transferred to a small ship to go there. It was very cold on the ship as there is no roof! Without wasting time, we took a few photos on the ship~
Finally, we arriving at Shennongxi river and took the sampan to have a look at the shennongxi river! There are about 5 men who rower the sampan and 1 man controlled the direction of the sampan. The men are about 40 to 60 years old! I guess the weight of the sampan plus the weight of all of us was exceeding 500 kg and yet they are so strong to row the sampan for us although they are not so young as us.
I admired their stamina , determination and spirit! On the other side, I pity them for doing the tough work for everyday and I guess that their pay is not very high too. Compared to us, they work more but gain lesser. However, they seemed like enjoyed their work very much! I told myself to cherish what I have now and not to complaint even though there is a lot of school works and assignments because our suffering is nothing compare to them. I hope I can be as determine as them and not to give up easily even though I am in a difficult situation.
On the sampan, our tour guide sang a folk song for us! Although I cannot understand what she was singing, I enjoyed listening to the song very much!
After a tiring day, we packed our luggage and had a good sleep~
The next day, we went to visit 185 platform which is the highest platform of the 5 levels ship lock! The view from the 185 platform is really very nice!After that, we also went to a park and took some photos!
And this ends our Three Gorges Dam Trip!
Overall, It was AWESOME! :D
