Take a boat from Chongqing to Yichang and pass through the Three Gorges Dam

@远山的山：Nowadays, luxury cruise ships use the method of crossing dams for transportation and board from Maoping Port. The Ministry of Transport has implemented restrictive measures for the Three Gorges cruise ships on the Yichang to Chongqing route. It mainly involves transferring over 50 cruise ships across the dam at Zigui Port. About ten cruise ships will dock at Zigui Port for more than 40 hours every day. The purpose of doing so is to boost the local economy.

@老改贩：If you pass through the fifth level ship lock, you can purchase a separate ticket to experience it. The OP can check on the official website of Meiya Three Gorges Cruise ticket booking to see if there are any bookings in this area

@纱曼罗：The issue of taking a boat from Chongqing to Yichang via the Three Gorges Dam has been resolved since 2018, with priority given to Three Gorges cruise ships. So the cruise ships from Yichang to Chongqing are now only five level locks. Nowadays, passengers from the Three Gorges departing from Yichang are gathered at the tourist center. Unified transportation to the designated dock for boarding.

@简若：However, the Three Gorges Dam has a ship lock. Tourists need to take a bus regardless of whether they choose the up or down route. If they choose to go underwater, they need to take a boat first and then take a bus. If they choose to go up, they need to take a boat first and then take a boat.

@odasan：If you have thought about the gate, the OP can choose a ship from Wuhan to Chongqing. Or a cruise ship from Shanghai to Chongqing. It should pass through the fifth level ship lock of the Three Gorges Dam.

@yz_鹭岛艳阳天：If you go from Yichang to Chongqing, now it's all dam crossing. Only by taking a car alone and experiencing the five level ship lock.

@yz_逸飞32：That means we need to purchase additional tickets to pass through the fifth level ship lock now. It is a self funded project.
