I took a cruise down the Yangtze River, we had several shore excursions including one to Fengdu, the "ghost city", and another down the Daning River, a tributary of the Yangtze. Many of the villages along the Yangtze will be flooded when the dam is completed in 2009. We toured some of the cities that will no longer be, and some of the new cities. Approximately one million people will be relocated.
I really enjoy looking through this gallery. I felt a tinge of sadness for the people who are being uprooted to make way for the dam. I bet the old people are the ones being affected the most by it as it is their home.
