Yangtze - Three Gorges 2002

A light mist was falling as we headed up toward the Stone Treasure Stronghold known as "Shibaozhai".  This is actually a rectangular rock with sheer cliffs, and you can see a 12-story pagoda built into one side at the very top.  When the Three Gorges Dam is completed, everything in the foreground will be underwater and only the pagoda will be visible, sticking up like a little island.
