One can only imagine what life must have been like for the family living in this small riverside dwelling. Their subsistence most likely depended on what they could grow in their stone walled terraces, or what could be harvested from the steep riverside mountains.

A recently built riverside factory perched high on the banks of the Yangtze, safe from the changes which would take place on completion of the Three Gorges Dam. Access to the riverside buildings we saw seemed to be solely from the river.

On the calmer stretch of the river below the dam, blocks of flats, factories and wharves had been built on the riverside bank right to the water's edge.

Another section of the Yangtze riverside complex where I should imagine cars and bicycles were of no value! During all my travels, I have never seen such a place again.
