Baiheliang Museum reopened to public recently after a four-month renovation. Baiheliang, literally White Crane Ridge , is a 1,600-meter-long and 25 meter-wide smooth stone ridge engraved with inscriptions about China s longest river, dating from 763 in the Tang Dynasty to the early 20th century. On the huge rock are 20 fish sculptures that serve as water-level markers and about 30,000 characters of Chinese poems from different dynasties. It is claimed to be the world s oldest hydrographic survey device and is one of the four state-level national treasures in the Three Gorges area. (Xinhua/Liu Chan) ....
