Day 12 part 2 to another Gorge

We visited the first gorge
Wu Gorge.
Views of the gorges while we were taking the small boat.







At the top!







Below shows the pathway used by people in the past
But due to the high water levels.
Some part of it are already submerge in water






Back to the cruise.
Was kinda disappointed didnt get to see the coffin that is
place inside some of the caves of the gorge mountains.
Later below there will be a picture of the coffiin.
The reason for the coffin to be placed inside a cave on the high mountains.
Was because the children want to show others their filial piety or how rich they are
to be able to place their parents coffin in a higher placing.
Higher means that the parents will be able to go up to heaven easier.
How the coffin was place there, not even scientist knows.
ITs really difficult, they tried all ways, and only manage to get down 2 of them.


View from the window of the room.
When returned and was resting.

Bus and entrance ticket to the top of an gorge to visit the castle










Climbing up the 3 hundreds plus steps
The view which is on the 10 yuan note

Then we climb up a mountain to visit the
White emperor castle

The coffin that was brought down.
Inside of one coffin was money!!!!
Another which we didnt take picture was a dead body remnant of a couple.
A boy who died of natural death.
And a young girl who was hit on the back of her head.
She is know to be killed to be burried together with the boy, how sad.
Good bye Gorges may not see u again..

Dinner.

As my camera has run out of battery i had to use Geena's photos.
So reminder for others coming here, please bring along charger to the cruise .
