References: "Of course you would like me to tell you something of the gorges. Even my kodak fails to do them any degree of justice. They wait to be the crowning glory of some unknown artist's brush. Sometimes the rocks rise almost perpendicularly several hundred feet above the water level. Where they are not so steep and there is any chance of obtaining his dinner, then the caves are inhabited."; 1913 Letter from Dr. E. Kyle Simpson, Chungking, West China
