Description: When traveling upstream towards West China, the Wushan Gorge is the second of the Yangtze River's Three Gorges. It is 12 miles long, most of which is narrow channels flanked by mountainous peaks with trackers' paths carved out of the rocky shores. Here the Graham's houseboat is about to turn one of the many corners along the gorge's course.
