Thank you! But will never do justice to the original. And my post includes a minute fraction of the information-engorged-inundated-packed travelogue from the very knowledgeable guides on the boat.
Mao in that rock formation
L to R in the first photo: Mao cap, slightly pudgy face with jutting chin, folded arms, paunch :D
Like the Dam, building and rebuilding goes on in all aspects of Chinese life.
Actually it was a fellow traveller who noted the resemblance - the guide didn't comment on it at all, as the peak was apparently not famous or very high. Could just be any cadre grown prosperous in the service of the Party and the State ;p
that first photo is wonderfully evocative - ah, mist. sadly i find the dam a bit of an eyesore. but the Wu Gorge photos are gorgeous lovely too.
i... don't really recognise Mao in that rock formation, but fair enough.
i find china's reconstruction-y approach to history fascinating. like renovating bits of the Great Wall.
