Travel along this vast stretch of the Yangtze River through the heart of China. This exotic dancer will take you into the dramatic heart of the old imperial Chinese Empire. Witness the power of the Three Gorges Dam, the largest hydro-electric dam in the world, lined with tree-topped mountains and ancient Chinese villages. This trip gives you the opportunity walk into the temples where Confucian ideology began and walk into the most modern of cities the very next day.
