I think I may have gotten a shot of this same sampan when we cruised away from Wanzhou. This shot was taken from the jetty looking downstream on the Yangzi, in a city that was being moved up the hill to make way for the Three Gorges Reservoir, China. 2008.
There were some magnificent sights as we cruised along the Three Gorges Reservoir towards the eponymous dam. One such sight was this coal barges against the setting Chinese sun, 2008
This is the Yangzi Explorer docked at Wanzhou. It was our home for three nights as we cruised down the Yangzi River and despite its appearance, it was a true joy to sail on. 2008
