I arrived early morning at the long distance bus station at the base of the Drum Tower. The #919 will take me to another bus station in Yanqing where I am supposed to get a cab to the gorge. Great! I am the only Westerner on my bus!!
The weather was very misty and overcast. Visit the first link to get an idea of what the gorge looks like when it is sunny blue sky!
This is a world record size dragon (which hides 8 escalators that take you to the top of the dam).
One of my last Chinese poses!!
First the boat tour, then I will hop on the gondola to the top!
From the boat, I was very close to the top of the dam. They open up these doors and I will get swept over the edge!!
For whatever reason there was a guy riding a bicycle on a wire suspended across the gorge. Suspended from the bicycle was another guy comfortably hanging by a rope. The guy on the bike did balancing tricks.
There was a temple dating to 1035!
People dropped money into these vases that had Buddha sitting in them.
The guy on the bicycle is still at it!!
How do you like this model pose?
Why am I so attracted to seeing what these wood boats are about?
Why is the one they chose for me have water in it??? Thanks for the paddles!
Time to go to the top!!
Don't throw stones!
Time to go find a cab and head back on the bus.
