Is it better to take a boat tour of the Three Gorges from Chongqing or Yichang? Shangshui refers to a trip departing from Yichang, which can also be understood as a trip upstream of the water, lasting for 5 days and 4 nights (usually boarding the ship in Yichang on the first night and departing in Chongqing on the fifth morning). Shuisheng refers to a trip departing from Chongqing, which can also be understood as a trip downstream of the water, usually lasting for 4 days and 3 nights (usually boarding the ship in Chongqing on the first night and departing in Yichang at noon on the fourth day). The arrival time in the city of Yichang is around 13:30. If there is enough time, it is recommended to book a Shangshui trip, as the same price allows for an extra day of play, and most cities have many high-speed trains arriving in Yichang, which is more economical. Experiencing Chongqing after disembarking is simply enjoyable. Buy tickets:Meiya Three Gorges Cruise Ticket Reservation Center.

The difference between launching and launching routes: sailing time, ticket price. The ticket price for water supply will be cheaper than that for sewage, but there is still one more day left, which is very cost-effective.

We also went to the Three Gorges with friends before. Due to time and geographical constraints, we have chosen to depart from Chongqing and PS is closer to Chongqing. And there is one less day for the water route.
