Yangtze River cruise usually refers to the cruise through the Three Gorges that are located between Chongqing and Yichang in the upstream area.

Yangtze River Cruise, China
Yangtze River Cruise, China If you haven’t traveled up the mighty Yangtze, you haven’t been anywhere. The Yangtze River is the third longest river and one of the most popular cruising destinations in the world. Tourists enjoy the most beautiful scenery and historical hot- spots in this region and get the opportunity to immerse themselves in diverse culture. Luxury cruises in the Yangtze River sum up all the things that China has to offer in one amazing experience. Most of these cruises originate from Shanghai, Jiangyin, Chongqing and Nanjing. During the cruise, tourists get to see the Purple Mountain., Mount Huang and the lower Yangtze delta among many other scenes of natural beauty while being introduced to Chinese traditions and customs. “Three Gorges” is a major highlight about the cruise since it holds ancient historical significance. It is also a memorable experience to explore the Shennong Stream, which has its own unique scenery. The Shennong Stream has four natural gorges with their own characteristics and one of them, namely Yingwu Gorge is known for its elegance and the evergreen vegetation along the banks, which remains beautiful throughout the year. The common Chinese saying “If you haven’t traveled up the mighty Yangtze, you haven’t been anywhere”, well describes the beauty that this cruise has to offer. Yangtze River Cruise Map Facts about Yangtze River Cruise Close to the “Three Gorges” is the controversial “Three Gorges Dam,” which many regard to be an unwelcome addition to the land. The Qutang, Wu and Xiling gorges make up the trio.

Dissertation Section 1
Elegies for Empire The Poetics of Memory in the Late Work of Du Fu (712-770) Gregory M. Patterson Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 ! 2013 Gregory M. Patterson All rights reserved ABSTRACT Elegies for Empire: The Poetics of Memory in the Late Work of Du Fu (712-770) Gregory M. Patterson This dissertation explores highly influential constructions of the past at a key turning point in Chinese history by mapping out what I term a poetics of memory in the more than four hundred poems written by Du Fu !" (712-770) during his two-year stay in the remote town of Kuizhou (modern Fengjie County #$%). A survivor of the catastrophic An Lushan rebellion (756-763), which transformed Tang Dynasty (618-906) politics and culture, Du Fu was among the first to write in the twilight of the Chinese medieval period. His most prescient anticipation of mid-Tang concerns was his restless preoccupation with memory and its mediations, which drove his prolific output in Kuizhou. For Du Fu, memory held the promise of salvaging and creatively reimagining personal, social, and cultural identities under conditions of displacement and sweeping social change. The poetics of his late work is characterized by an acute attentiveness to the material supports—monuments, rituals, images, and texts—that enabled and structured connections to the past. The organization of the study attempts to capture the range of Du Fu’s engagement with memory’s frameworks and media. It begins by examining commemorative poems that read Kuizhou’s historical memory in local landmarks, decoding and rhetorically emulating great deeds of classical exemplars.

However, their origin remains a matter of debate, and has been interpreted previously as the result of fluvial erosion after peneplain uplift. Here, a new formation mechanism for these low-relief surface landscapes has been proposed, based on the analyses of low-relief surface distribution, swath profiles, χ mapping, river capture landform characteristics, and a numerical analytical model. The results showed that the low-relief surfaces in the Three Gorges area could be divided into higher elevation and lower elevation surfaces, distributed mainly in the highlands between the Yangtze River and Qingjiang River.

Shanghai, China Summer 1994 Mr. Peter Bird Martin Executive Director Institute of Current World Affairs 4 West Wheelock Street Hanover, NH 03755 U.S.A. Dear Peter, "How could it be possible that the Chinese government has still decided to build the dam at all with the great impact on the environment, cultural relics and migration?" Tony asked me when we stood on. the deck enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Xiling Gorge in the early morning of our last day ofthe cruise. "Is it a silly question?" Tony wanted to have my opinion. "No, not at all," I told Tony. "This is also the question that has puzzled me for several years." When I was a graduate student at Princeton, I intended to write a term paper on the feasibility of the Three Gorges Dam. But later I found it was extremely difficult to get information concerning the dam project because any data related to Cheng Li is a an ICWA fellow studying the political economy of the coast of China. Since 1925 the Institute of Current World Affairs (the Crane-Rogers Foundation) has provided long-term fellowships to enable outstanding young adults to live outside the United Sates and write about international areas and issues. Endowed by the late Charles R. Crane, the Institute is also supported by conu'ibutions from like-minded individuals and foundations. CL-15 2 A scene of the Xiling Gorge.
