Roy says:

The Han Yangling Mausoleum Museum is most impressive. Modern, state-of-the-art facilities and exhibition halls. The guide says, with prior booking and a fee, we can experience a simulated excavation in person.

I had a GORGEOUS trip cruising through the Three Gorges in Autumn! The leaves are red, set against the green mountains and cliffs and the blue, sunny sky.
