CRUISE ON THE YANGTSE RIVER
The Yangtse river is an incredible natural wonder stretching from
Shanghai in North East right up to Chongking in the centre of China,
with the three gorges being one of the main highlights. A cruise along
the Yangtse river from Shanghai - Chongking would take at least a
week. For most of our customers this would constitute approx. one
third of the total time spent in China. Hence, the cruise from Wuhan
to Chongqing is an ideal answer to those who wish to view the three
gorges. Those who wish to cover the three gorges in a short space
of time might wish to consider the catamaran ride from Yichange -
Yichang. This can be done as a day trip.
The trip commences in Yichang, gateway to the Upper Yangtse River.
It is approx. 4 - 5 hours by car or coach from Wuhan. Wuhan is well
connected to Beijing, Xian & Guilin by train.
The Three Gorges: Xiling Gorge : the longest at 80 kms in length
followed by Wuxia Gorge: the most interesting at a length of
40 kms and with 900m peaks on either side of the river . Then on to
the smallest of the 3 gorges, Qutang Gorge: the shortest at
8 km in length but with the most fast flowing section.
