Today we sailed up the Yangtze. This river drains into the East China Sea and has given rise to what may be the largest concentration of adjacent metropolitan areas in the world It covers an area of 99600 km sq. and is home to over 105 million people as of 2010.
To enjoy the spectacle the crew of the Orion II treated everyone to a beautiful brunch on the outdoor deck where the sights just kept flowing by as the wonderful fresh fruit, fish and breakfast dishes were enjoyed.
The Orion II sailed into the river and along with every kind of heavy shipping vessel that can be imagined.
As can be seen from this pictures the smog is as bad as what you read and it is no wonder with all the industry along the river and the ships. There are even some old fashioned fishing boats among the modern river traffic and floating gas stations.
