The Great Wall of China

The Great Wall of China looks great in summer gree in September.

Very big portion of food in Yichang

Local restaurant tend to provide you with a looooot of food in BIG
plates. Please tell them to use small plate before ordering.

Yangtze River Dam

The Yangtze River Dam site, 1000 meters long and 15- 40 meters wide.

Walk way on the sheer cliff

There used to be a walkway on the sheer cliff for locals lived by the
Yangtze. Due to the Dam and water level raised, the walk pass is under
the water now, but, they are building a new one using modern skills.

Yangtze looks greater than that of before the Dam

I cruised the Yangtze before the Dam was made, I crused again after
the Dam was made, personally, I think the Yangtze looks wider and
greater than before.

Cruise ship Yangtze 1 has a swiming pool

This is the only ship on the Yangtze has a little pool on the deck.

Dub-Xitang Water Town

This is my first time to dub for a narrator in video of Xitang tour, where is located nearby Suzhou, southeast part of China.

1.5 hour drive from Shanghai, you will reach Xitang Town, it is very unique among the old towns of the same rank nationwide-world-famous for a great number of bridges, lanes and covered corridors.

The covered corridors are the most special scene in xitang construction. Because of the rainy climate, local residents have invented their own style of ceilinged corridor. Each family puts a ceiling over the stone-plank road in front of its own house, and the ceilings connect with one another to form corridors, the longest being 1,300 meters. Nowadays the ceilinged corridors are the main places for outdoor activities and attract countless tourists.

It is too hot!

It is really hot today! People called it “Dog days”, which means the hottest weeks of the summer. During this season, you may easy suffer the Dehydration or heat stroke if you do a lot of heavy activities. There are some good and useful Chinese medicaments for avoiding heat stroke, such as chrysanthemum tea; Momordica grosvenori Swingle; medlar etc.
