We passed the industrial city of Fengjie just before entering the first gorge, Qutang Xia.
We passed the industrial city of Fengjie just before entering the first gorge, Qutang Xia.
 |
| Even when not in one of the three gorges, the Yangtze River is lined with mountains (and smog). |
 |
| Coming into Fengjie. |
 |
| Fengjie is at the left, and the bridge across the Yangtze in the center is the start of Qutang Xia. |
 |
| Fengjie, or more accurately New Fengjie, since this city was relocated from a flooded site. |
 |
| A closer view of the pagoda barely visible on the mountaintop just right of center in the previous photo. |
 |
| It appeared the this industrial site just outside Fengjie had been abandoned, but maybe it was just shut down for the long May Day holiday. |
 |
| On deck as we pass Fengjie and prepare to enter the first gorge. The wind was brisk and relentless. |
