GREAT BEND OF THE YANGTZE RIVER (April 23-May 3, 2010)
 
This trip is the premier rafting trip in China, offering beautiful canyons, world class rapids, and pristine beaches. We stay in a 1000 year old Naxi Village and visit Pumi and Tibetan villages along the way. The Great Bend is at the heart of the struggle to protect China's wild rivers; this section of river is soon to be unrunnable due to a series of large hydropower dams.
