Sichuan, Chongqing & the Yangzi
Snow melting from the worlds third pole the high-altitude TibetQinghai plateau is the source of Chinas mighty, life-giving Yangzi. The countrys longest river, the Yangzi surges westeast across the nation before pouring into the Pacific Ocean. It reaches a crescendo with the Three Gorges, carved out throughout the millennia by the inexorable persistence of the powerful waters. The gorges are a magnificent spectacle and a is a rare chance to hang up your travelling hat, take a seat and leisurely watch the drama unfold.
Strolling the forested valleys of past bluer-than-blue lakes and small Tibetan villages, in the shadow of snow-brushed mountains was always a highlight of any trip to Sichuan province, but an excellent new ecotourism scheme means travellers can now hike and even camp their way around this stunning part of southwest China. Guides speak English and all camping equipment is provided, so all you need to bring is your sense of adventure and a spare set of camera batteries.
You can read all the stats you like about Le Shans yes, its ears really are 7m long! but until you descend the steps alongside the worlds tallest Buddha statue and stand beside its feet, with its toenails at the same level as your eyes, you cant really comprehend just how vast it is. Still not impressed? Consider this, then: the huge stone statue was carved painstakingly into the riverside cliff face more than 1200 years ago.
