Going through the locks at night and touring the Dams in Yichang












This was an amazing experience, at night we went through 4 locks, it took 4 and 1/2 hours. Many domestic boats were also locked in while the water was emptied and doors locked. To come out of the other end and view the worlds largest dam was something I had to experience for myself. It was an engineering feat. I was told that the west said it was impossible and the Chinese said it was and they proved this to the world.
The Chinese are very enterprising and hard working and this is an example, that illustrates the Chinese are capable of acheiving many things they set out to do. Like the Arts and Cultural industry, 501 and many small organisations are self reliant and do not receive government funding. It is their determination that enables them to succeed amongst all odds.
