How do you feel about this?
http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/1999/china.5...
The Three Gorges Dam is a topic I want to discuss. How would you feel if you were a farmer along the Yangtze River?
How about a chinese citizen in the flood plain of the Yangtze River?
A city-dwelling citizen?
I would like to hear your opinions.
The Chinese gov't felt it was for the greater good of its nation.
They have done the project and now need to remedy the problems incidental to the project. Case closed.
New round of rainstorms worsen flood in S. China

yangtse river cruises
A short visit to China enabled me to fulfil a wish to travel on the finest ship currently sailing the Yangtse River. Launched in July 2008 the "Yangzi Explorer" offers a level of comfort not experienced before. It now runs between Chongqing and Yichang or vice versa taking 4 days/3 nights downstream and 5 days/4 nights upstream.
It takes in along the way the famous and dramatic Three Gorges and the Three Gorges Dam including a 4/5 hour run through its 5 huge lock chambers. Each one is over 60 feet wide and 900 feet long. Consisting of just 62 cabins including 24 suites it carries a maximum of 124 people although this number is rarely reached if cabins are occupied by single travellers. The deluxe cabins, the standard rooms if you like, are far from standard. At 27 Sqm they are the size of a hotel room. The deluxe cabins have a good size bathroom with marble walls and floors and a nice shower. There is plenty of space for a Queen sized bed, and a flat television screen on the wall means you have more space to move around or relax on the sofa. Every cabin has a large picture window and a balcony. The suites on board allow larger living space or room for a cocktail party perhaps if a group of friends or business clients are travelling together.
The Yangzi Explorer is designed to both individuals and families. Extra beds can be placed in the suites and even the deluxe cabins are interconnected allowing families to enjoy time together. The Explorer deck, located at the top of the ship, is split into an outside area with deck chairs and an enclosed lounge where you can relax in plumped cushioned chairs and large floor to ceiling windows offering snacks, tea and coffee during the day and cocktails in the evening. There is also a private dining room that can be booked. Also on board is a theatre where demonstrations during the cruise are given and films on China are screened. learn about tea, dumpling making, the Yangtse Three Gorge dam project, pearls calligraphy and snuff bottle painting. A quiet library is also available, perhaps after a treatment in the spa. During the cruise several excursions are made on shore. Exact excursions depend on water levels and nationalities aboard but may include village and school visits, boat trips on smaller vessels up some of the narrow tributary rivers and of course the Three Gorges Dam Project itself. Cuisine on board is international and included in the cruise price with lunch and dinner are house wines and beer. The Yangzi Explorer sails between mid-march and mid-November. Please refer to the China section on our website for suggested itineraries. Other cities can be added to create your very own tailor-made visit to China.
Following the cruise I flew to Beijing to visit three hotels, one of which was the new 5* luxury Aman at the Summer Palace. This is a super property with truly fine service and exquisite furniture and furnishings all within the boundaries of the old Summer Palace located on the outskirts of Beijing. Adjacent to the East Gate of the Summer Palace grounds, Aman at Summer Palace, Beijing is housed in a series of dwellings, most of which date back over one hundred years. Some of the original dwellings were used by guests of the Summer Palace awaiting an audience with the Empress Dowager Cixi at the turn of the twentieth century. You enter the property through an archway flanked by two huge red lacquered doors covered with brass studs.
here are 51 rooms and suites in total. The Guestrooms, mostly decorated in Ming Dynasty style with four-poster beds, are located in two new buildings by the front entrance. The spacious suites are also decorated in the Ming style. Some offer a combined living space and bedroom whilst others have a separate bedroom. Under the main courtyard are two underground levels where a large fitness room, spa and 25 m swimming pool are located. There are a number of food and beverage outlets serving both international and chinese cuisine, a fine selection of wines and a library. My favourite feature however is the private wooden door that leads directly through one of the walls from the resort to expose you to the secrets of the Summer Palace itself. A dawn encounter means that you will have the place virtually to yourself.
The 5* Commune by the Wall can be a tranquil haven after the hustle and bustle of the rest of China. Originally a project put together by Ms Zhang Xin, a Chinese architect, it brought together 12 other Asian architects with the aim of creating something contemporary but Asian.

The bustling metropolis of Shanghai is one of the fastest growing cities in the world. Originally formed as a hub for the fishing and textiles industry, its prime location along the banks of the Yangtze River allowed it to evolve into a prominent port town in China.
It is one of the oldest cities in China, home to a variety of both old and modern attractions for travellers to explore. From museums to national landmarks, travellers are spoilt for choice.
A modern attraction that is gradually becoming synonymous with the city’s identity, similar to the Eiffel Tower in Paris is the Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai. Constructed between 1991 and 1995 it is one of the tallest completed towers in Asia. Its modern design and imposing height make it stand out as a beacon amongst the more conventional buildings in Shanghai’s Business District.
Situated near the trendy Bund District on the banks of the Huangpu River, the Oriental Pearl Tower is more than just a simple communications tower. The towers structure comprises of 11 spheres of varying size. The highest sphere is known as the Space Module. It offers panoramic views of the surrounding area and the various river tributaries that crisscross through Shanghai. Within this module are a revolving restaurant, discotheque and relaxing piano lounge. The restaurant serves both international and traditional chinese cuisine and completes one revolution every hour.
The smaller spheres in-between the central base sphere and Space Module are made up of more than 15 observation decks offering varying views of the Shanghai cityscape.
The central base sphere is home to Space City a science fiction in-door museum cum theme park. It houses a variety of interesting galleries pertaining to space and man’s exploits into the cosmos along with a laser theatre. For those who wish to hold a social or business gathering with a unique perspective over Shanghai, the base sphere offers a convention size hall able to cater to a multitude of events.
The Oriental Pearl Tower benefits from a central location near Shanghai’s Business District and can be accessed from all round the city via several modes of transport. There are dedicated bus routes that converge at the Oriental Pearl Tower from several key locations, including a Maglev and MRT stop.
The discerning traveller looking for a more upmarket hotel in Shanghai will discover many to choose from. However once you have separated the wheat from the chaff, one in particular stands out as a prime example of a luxury boutique hotel in Shanghai. The Langham Yangtze Boutique Shanghai offers an exclusive centrally located abode in the heart of Shanghai. Offering a range of world class amenities and services to suit your every whim and desire, The Langham Yangtze Boutique Shanghai strives to ensure that your stay is pleasurable and relaxing.
