Day 1 Arrival in Chongqing
You will be guided to visit Hongya Cave first, which is a famous landmark sight in Chongqing. It features a large group of stilted buildings built on a side of the hill. Here you can not only appreciate cool buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties (1368 – 1911), but also taste some delicious street snacks at food stalls and stroll around the bustling souvenir shops. Next, we will head to Daijiaxiang Alley, just near the Hongya Cave. The old alley is characterized by a cliff road lined with old houses, atmospheric shops and some artistic decorations. You will also visit a unique tunnel which is originally an air-raid shelter. It is called Dongjian Shancheng, literally meaning “an insight into the mountain city”. As the cruise sets sail at 21:30 tonight, your fantastic Yangtze River Cruise journey begins with a grand welcome wine party.
Day 2 Yangtze River Cruise
In the morning, pleasant soft music will awaken you. Opening the curtains and looking out from the balcony, the magnificent view of the Yangtze River will greet you. Before breakfast, you can also take part in a healthy morning exercise, Tai Chi, a kind of traditional Chinese martial art.
The included onshore excursion today will be in the morning at around 08:30. You will follow the local guide to visit the Ghost City at Fengdu. As a famous Netherworld sight in Chinese legend, the city is the home of a deceased’s soul. Mixing Confucian, Buddhist and Taoist folk cultures, Fengdu features a complete judicial system and departments to judge the dead. Here you can deeply learn about the Chinese ghost culture. Afterward, get back to the cruise ship and you are free to enjoy your time to relax on the sundeck, use the facilities on the ship, and join the cultural activities.
Day 3 Yangtze River Cruise
The cruise is going to sail through the Qutang Gorge, Wu Gorge and Xiling Gorge today, the most unmissable highlight on the tour. Qutang Gorge is the shortest one among the Three Gorges, but its grand and precipitous cliffs, narrow and sinuous river way, and impetuous and surgent torrents make it the most exciting and imposing part. Measuring about 40 kilometers long (25 mi), Wu Gorge is the most beautiful one of the three and you will see it at about 13:30. It is especially famous for its deep valley and elegant beauty.
Day 4 Departure from Yichang
After a whole night of sailing, the ship will stop at Maoping Pier of Yichang this morning. You will pack your luggage and check out from the cruise, and then disembark to visit the Three Gorges Dam, one of the grandest hydroelectric projects in the world. You will be amazed by its super large scale and magnificent views.
After that, the cruise company will drive you to the Three Gorges Tourist Center in Yichang City, where you will meet the local guide and driver. If time permits, you will pay a visit to Yichang Museum, which collects over 30,000 valuable historical exhibits.
