The Yangtze is China’s longest river as well as being third longest in the world. Cruising on the river can be a marvelous experience. The trip usually starts from Chongqing and ends at Yichang (Wuhan). Whether you choose to cruise upstream or downstream, in either direction the route is a combination of natural beauty and historic relics. While enjoying the picturesque scenery of the Three Gorges - Qutang Gorge, Wu Gorge and Xiling Gorge, you have options to visit historic sites ashore such as the Ghost City in Fengdu, the Precious Stone Stronghold in Zhongxian, or the White Emperor City in Fengjie. Drifting along the Shennong Stream or the Three Little Gorges will be truly memorable. You are sure to be impressed by the two famous water conservancy projects Gezhouba Water Conservancy Project and Three Gorges Dam Project. There are many Yangtze cruise ships of differing standards to provide services to suit both your needs and your pocket. Whatever your choice, you are certain to have a wonderful journey. |
