The best time for Chongqing Three Gorges tourism

The best time for us to travel to the Three Gorges in Chongqing is in summer, as we are taking two children to play. The summer vacation is long, and we booked a four-day itinerary and then went to the city of Yichang for a few days. The itinerary was not rushed, and the scenery of the Three Gorges is very pleasant. Yichang has a lot of delicious food, and the prices are also cheap. When traveling in summer, we must pay attention to sun protection, otherwise it is easy to get sunburned and heatstroke, especially for the elderly and children. We should replenish our fluids in a timely manner during the journey.

The best season for tourism in Chongqing's Three Gorges is undoubtedly spring and autumn. At this time, the climate is mild and you can visit the green trees and autumn leaves on both sides of the canyon. In summer, the temperature is very high, and you have to climb mountains to visit. There are also many mosquitoes and insects in places with many trees. In winter, the wind on the river is strong and the temperature is low. It is also troublesome to prepare some cold and warm items for travel.

We went on a Golden Series cruise at theMeiya Three Gorges Cruise Ticket BookingCenter last autumn, from Chongqing to Yichang for a total of four days. However, the first day was not included and we only boarded the ship in the evening. The advantage of autumn tourism is that the temperature is suitable. The temperature in the Three Gorges is around 10-20 degrees Celsius, and the temperature is just right for shore trips along the way.

The peak season for tourism in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River is between March and December each year. During the flood season, it is better to visit the Three Gorges. However, when the water level is low, there is a disadvantage that some places cannot be navigated by boats due to the shallow water level.
