Traveling the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River from Chongqing

We have been there for 19 years. If we spend two or three days in downtown Chongqing, we can basically clock in late at all the essence attractions. The transportation is very convenient. You can take the subway directly, but the route is a bit circuitous. If we go to the Three Gorges, we will take a luxury foreign-related cruise ship for a four-day trip. The four days feel just right, the itinerary is not rushed, and the pace is also suitable.

How long does it take to travel from Chongqing to the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River? It depends on whether you choose one-way or round trip. If it is a one-way route, it takes 2-4 days, and for round trip, it takes 4-5 days. It also depends on your boarding location. Some ships are in the city area, while others are in districts or counties. If it is a district or county, you need to take a car to get there.

We took a regular cruise ship from Chongqing to visit the Three Gorges, which lasted for three days. We only boarded the ship on the first night, and on the second and third days, we mainly enjoyed the scenery. Some attractions even required us to disembark and visit. On the last day, we would take tourists to Yichang Station. I suggest taking a look at luxury foreign cruise ships. Ordinary ships don't seem cost-effective as the prices of the items sold on them are too expensive.

The time for visiting the Three Gorges depends on the cruise ship you choose. The cruise ship we booked on theMeiya Three Gorges Cruise Ticket Bookingofficial website is for five days, but there are also four days available. The regular boat time is shorter by at least two days.

I think if you want to have a good time in the Three Gorges, you should choose a five-star luxury cruise ship for international travel, which usually lasts for five days and the itinerary and attractions are arranged reasonably. Ordinary cruise ships have cheaper ticket prices and take two to three days, but the hardware on board is not as good as luxury cruise ships.
