Start for the gorges--Grand coup-a'ceil--Tourist's inscriptions--A factory of boulders--Advantages of a light boat--A Temple School--A "Feng Shui" problem. St. Patrick's Day.--A lovely summer morning with dew on the grass and fragrance in the air; violets everywhere. Finished writing my mail, and despatched it by the overland post--a courier who performs the overland journey to Hankow in five days. After breakfasting ashore with my kind host, I now at last set sail direct for the gorges and the Far West. A still sunny day, with a breath from the eastward barely sufficient to fill our big lug-sail; but our crew having been reinforced with three additional rowers, we made good progress crossing the now submerged sand-flat, which two days ago seemed to occupy a fourth of the river's width. For the summer rise has begun, and the level has risen five feet during my short stay at Ichang, and the width is increased by several hundreds. Poling and rowing over this bank, we avoid the deep water and strong current of the cliff-lined shore opposite, until after a distance of three miles, we were compelled to cross the river, and the trackers' labours began. Jumping on the rocks, they scrambled with the tow-line around immense boulders, and along narrow ledges, which afforded a bare foothold to the sandal-shod of our active Szechuan crew. The Ichang Gorge 51 The reach of the river above Ichang is about threequarters of a mile wide, and has all the appearance of a mountain loch; no sign of an outlet is visible, and as, toiling against the small rapid or "Chi-pa," you approach the upper end, the river seems lost entirely. Suddenly, on the left, a cleft in the mountains comes in sight, and lo! there is the Great River narrowed...

Book Synopsis Before the Deluge by : Deirdre Chetham
Download or read book Before the Deluge written by Deirdre Chetham and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2002-10-18 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chetham's elegiac book about the towns along the banks of the Three Gorges area of the Yangtze River was written on the very eve of their destruction. After great controversy, the Chinese government has begun construction of the world's largest hydroelectric dam in the Three Gorges section of the Yangtze, a place renowned for its beauty. For over two thousand years, the Yangtze has been the great transport route linking the coast with the west and southwest and providing irrigation for the farms that fed China. Once the dam is completed in 2009, the water level will rise as much as 350 feet in a hundred-mile stretch of the river. The water will submerge over a dozen large cities, almost 1,500 villages and towns, and innumerable historical and cultural sites. Over a million people are being moved, voluntarily or otherwise, altering not only their lives, but the lives of a multitude of others whose existence is intertwined with the river. Before the Deluge captures a sense of the daily life, traditions and history of the people who live along the Upper Yangtze's Three Gorges area. It chronicles the region's past and present with an eye on the disruption of an existing way of life. Perhaps most importantly, it captures a world that is rapidly vanishing under the rushing waters of one of the world's largest rivers.

Book Synopsis From Peking to Mandalay by : Reginald Fleming Sir Johnston
Download or read book From Peking to Mandalay written by Reginald Fleming Sir Johnston and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-09-15 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The journey of which an account is given in the following pages was not undertaken in the special interests of geographical or other science nor in the service of any Government. The author's chief object was to gratify a long-felt desire to visit those portions of the Chinese Empire which are least known to Europeans, and to acquire some knowledge of the various tribes subject to China that inhabit the wild regions of Chinese Tibet and north-western Yunnan. Though nearly every part of the Eighteen Provinces has in recent years been visited and described by European travelers, the author's route between Tachienlu and Li-chiang was one which—so far as he is aware—no British subject had ever traversed before him, and of which no description in book-form has hitherto appeared in any European language.
