Cruise Details

Day 1: Departure from Yichang

At 7 pm, we'll meet at the Maoping Pier in Yichang to start boarding the cruise ship that will be our home for the next 5 days. As you settle into your cabins, at 9 pm, we'll set sail along the waters of the Yangtze River, leaving behind Yichang, the economic center of the Hubei Province.

Day 2: Three Gorges Dam & Xiling Gorge

In the morning, we'll enjoy a delicious breakfast buffet aboard the ship and arrive in Sandouping, where we'll cross the locks of the Three Gorges Dam, the largest dam in the world.

Next, we will travel to Xiling, the longest and deepest part of the Three Gorges, stretching almost 44 miles (66 kilometers). If the river is calm, in the afternoon, we will visit the tribe of the Three Gorges to learn about the region's inhabitants.

Day 3: Wu & Qutang Gorges

After breakfast on board, we'll take a traditional Chinese boat to explore Goddess Stream, one of the most stunning areas of the river.

Afterward, we'll visit the Wu Gorge, where the mountains and cliffs provide captivating scenery. Then we'll make our way to the Qutang Gorge, known as the narrowest part of the Yangtze River Gorges. You’ll have the rest of the afternoon to relax on the ship.

Day 4: Shibaozhai, Fengdu, or Yuhuang Shengdi

We'll enjoy a delicious breakfast on board and, depending on river conditions, we'll visit Shibaozhai, Fengdu, or Yuhuang Shengdi. In Shibaozhai, admire its famous wooden temple, known as the "Pearl of the Yangtze River." It's regarded as one of the strangest buildings in the world.

Fengdu Ghost City, on the north bank of the Yangtze River, features unique demon sculptures built on Mingshan Hill over 2000 years ago. If we visit Yuhuang Shengdi, you'll see the Jade Emperor Pagoda.

We'll conclude the day with dinner on the ship before heading back to our cabins to rest.
