Last Descents
I came across this video highlighted in an online paddling magazine, it's quality stuff. I've such good memories of my trip to China and in particular the trek my friend & I did through Tiger Leaping Gorge where we were able to look down on the mighty Yangtze River. I've often wondered what Tiger Leaping Gorge is like now. I've heard that there is a new road through the gorge so that coachloads of tourists can drive through. I guess it's nice that more people can marvel at the Gorge's beauties but to my mind it would spoil the tranquility and majesty of the surroundings. This video highlights the plight of the Yangtze and other rivers in China.

Changing times.
