- Three Gorges Dam and Qutang Gorge, Yangtze River
(Out of the 3 Gorges, this massive Qutang Gorge is the most spectacular. It is the narrowest but highest, rising to over 1200m along some steep cliffsides. The visit to the Three Gorges Dam itself was a bit ordinary though - escalators took us up to the top of the dam site, but much of this world's largest power station site was covered by mist. We didn't get to go through the 5-level dams in our cruise ship because they were under repairs. Otherwise, it would have taken 4-5hours to move from the 1st to the 5th, according to our guide. The real showpiece of this area is undoubtedly this Qutang Gorge - see videos below)
