On Friday morning, we started our journey from school.
The bus ride took 5 hours!!
Of course we were all sleeping throughout the whole journey.
We stopped for a toilet break and GASP!!!
THE TOILET GOT NO DOOR!!
and the smell.....
UNBEARABLE!!!
I had to wrap my scarf around my face to avoid the stench.
This is how it looks like ->>
Luckily the view outside was beautiful that I forgot about the toilet smell.
Next up was lunch.OMG finally.....RICE!!! HURRAY!!
I think this is my first real meal in China.
Of course I had to eat a lot.
Who knows when else i can eat rice.
The tasteless vegetable soup.
Another vegetable dish.
DUCK!!
FISH!
Tasteless tea. I like SWEET TEA.We continued our journey and Mr Wong entertained us.
He sang an "INDIAN" song
>>> 3 Little Indians!!! nice one....
Finally after the long ride, we arrived at the 3 gorges project.
The tour guide bought us to a few scenic area.
There's a bus ferry-ing us around the few stops.
The first stop:
THE LARGEST HYDROELECTRICAL DAM IN THE WORLD!
The second stop, nearer to the dam :
The third stop>>>
The tour guide who had to constantly rush us cuz we were behind time.
The view, beautiful isnt it? 
The flowers have bloomed! Spring is here!
And that was the end of the 3 gorges project tour.
Next was dinner and finally cruise time!!
We were late and the cruise had wait for us.
It was not bad but the room was a little cramped and the toilet is TINY!
The inside of the cruise. its 4 star bythe way.
The lobby packed with Ngee Ann students.

The lobby packed with Ngee Ann students.Part of the journey was this ship 'elevator'.
Its the coolest thing i've ever seen.
Firstly the gate will open and the ship will enter.
Then the gate closes and the ship will be confined to the small area.
Water will then start to gush in.
The ship will then slowly rise up.
When the ship reached the designated height, the gate will then open.
It was really cold outside.!!
The next day, we were woken up by the cruise announcement.The first thing i did was to look at the view outside.
Magnifique!
Had breakfast and headed off to our first destination.We transferred to a smaller boat as the river was narrower.
Everyone was busy taking pictures along the way.
I really enjoyed the view along the way.Here's some of the beautiful scenes.
Next up was the 'sampan' ride.
See how shallow the waters are.
The people dragging the boat.
The tour guide singing some folk song.
Suddenly we heard someone banging on the wall.
The long walk....
Tombstones! Its huge!
While walking out, i looked up to the sky and saw a lot of stars!
Next up was the 'sampan' ride.
When we reached the shallow waters, the boat rowers had to pull the boat!
Only 4 people pulling the boat with about 17 people in it!!!
At that moment I felt so bad that I wanted to get out and walk over myself instead of being pulled.
See how shallow the waters are.
The people dragging the boat.
It was then downstream from then on.
I pity the people dragging the boat.
They did all that hard work to earn that little bit of money.
The tour guide singing some folk song.It fits the surroundings we were in.
The whole experience was definately one of a kind!
Then it was back to the cruise.
Then it was back to the cruise.We enjoyed the view from the room.
THE FOREVER SLEEPING CLIVE!! >>
Suddenly we heard someone banging on the wall.Turns out, Zee Min was stuck in the toilet and the room was lock!
We had to call for the cruise crew who came with a screwdriver!!
After the short rest, it was time for lunch!
After the short rest, it was time for lunch!We had to queue for it!
Shortly after that, we reached one of the gorge.
Shortly after that, we reached one of the gorge.I didnt know what to look out for since the tour guide was talking in Chinese.
Nevertheless, it was breathtaking.
We then alighted for another sightseeing.
This somehow looks like Singapore.I suddenly miss home a little.
Here, we visited the temple.

It may look small but dont be deceived by its exterior!
The long walk....AND lots of stairs.
I lost count cause i was too tired.
I thought my asthma was going to act up again!
That was how tiring it was!
Finally reached the top.
The place is like a museum with lots of artifacts.
Tombstones! Its huge!And that was the end of the visit.
It was all downhill on the way back.
I was so exhausted!!!!
While walking out, i looked up to the sky and saw a lot of stars!This is not possible in Singapore because of all the high rise buildings.
Theres only 1 word to describe it: WOW!
Rushed back to the cruise as we were behind schedule.
Quickly headed to bed as we had to leave in the morning.
The journey back to Wuhan took about 8 hours!!
YEAH ITS THAT LONG.
And that marks the end of the whole trip.
Its definately a memory that wont be erased.
