Last full day on the East Queen

This morning we have a shore excursion to the Shibaozhai Pagoda, sometimes called the 'Pearl of the Yangtze River. The Pagoda is built on the sheer hillside of the banks of the river and incredible how they did it.

The excursion lasted a few hours and by the time we got back to boat it was lunchtime and we cast off heading further up river taking in all the sights and sounds of China.
In the evening there was a farewell dinner with lots of free wine, Chinese of course.
Photos can best describe what we are seeing.
So the first part of this great trip is nearly over and I must say the the travel agent we used Page and Moy have done a good job.
