Then at about 4.30, we left the boat again and went to a place called Bai Di Cheng. we have to walk up 400 steps to get to the top. how tiring! but oh well. it was worth the climbing eventually! great place! it was said that liu bei once took over that place in the past. after that was dinner and mahjong till late!

Come on up if you dare!

Reflections:
i learnt many things about the chinese culture today. visited places that has nice scenery. learnt about the history of the places and why those places exists. i have finally seen with my own eyes how the 3 gorges looks like, and indeed it was a great experience, especially the short hike to the top to see the scenery. China is indeed a very beautiful place.
