Unfortunately just as we approach one of the highlights of the trip, I’ve been struck down by a dodgy prawn, or salad or something so confined to the main boat

White Emperor City
Essentially a hill in the middle of the original gorge and has become an island since the dam. There are now 350 steps (out of original 1000). Alternatively you can hire a two man sedan team to carry you up at pace (cost higher if you weigh more than 80kg)
