Is it better to go up or down the Yangtze River Three Gorges cruise ship?

(Publish Time::19/10/2021 Info Release::Meiya Yangtze River Cruise Tourist/Author::Looking love)

Hello, welcome aboard the Three Gorges Cruise to explore the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River!

Is it better to go up or down the Yangtze River Three Gorges cruise ship?The commonly referred to launch refers to cruise ships descending along the Yangtze River, such as departing from Chongqing and heading downstream to cities such as Yichang, Wuhan, Jiujiang, Nanjing, and Shanghai; On the other hand, Shangshui refers to the route of cruise ships heading upstream against the Yangtze River, such as from Shanghai, Nanjing, Jiujiang, Wuhan, Yichang and other places downstream of the Yangtze River to Chongqing upstream.

Due to the flow of water, it generally takes less time for cruise ships to go into the water than to go into the water. This is particularly evident during the flood season and when traveling in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. But in the Three Gorges Reservoir area, due to the formation of a high gorge and flat lake by the Three Gorges Dam, the actual sailing time of Chongqing Yichang cruise ships during non flood season is not much different, and the tourist attractions visited are not much different, and even some cruise ships visit the same tourist attractions during boarding and disembarking. Although it takes 4 days and 3 nights from Chongqing to Yichang and 5 days and 4 nights from Yichang to Chongqing, the cruise ships in Shangshui only provide an additional night of accommodation on board.

Most Three Gorges cruise ships operate and tour during the day, and the engines are located at the rear of the ship and downstairs from the restaurant, so there is generally no need to worry about being woken up during nighttime rest.

As for whether it is better to choose water or water for Three Gorges cruise ships, the main considerations can be from the following aspects:

1. According to price selection: The vast majority of cruise ships in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River have shorter underwater travel times and cheaper ticket prices than those in the upper reaches.

2. According to the time selection: short water discharge time, long water supply time, choose according to the length of time available for visiting the Three Gorges.

3. Based on the rationality of the itinerary arrangement, whether there are plans to travel to other destinations in the first and second stages of the Three Gorges trip, and if so, consider the convenience of transportation and the combination of travel interest. For example, where is more convenient for you to come to Chongqing or Yichang, or where is more convenient to travel from Yichang or Chongqing; For example, which destination is more meaningful after visiting the Three Gorges.

If none of the above points are considered as factors for your selection, then we have the following tips:

1. The widely recognized 193 kilometer long Three Gorges of the Yangtze River starts from Kuimen, and entering Kuimen is the official entry into the Three Gorges. This is a way for cruise ships to open the painting of the Three Gorges. Throughout history, many celebrities and politicians have chosen to enter the Three Gorges by following the Yangtze River eastward. Of course, it's not impossible to laugh heartily and look up at the sky outside the door.

2. Shennu Peak is located on the north bank of Wu Gorge, across from Shennu Creek. Cruise ships are sailing in Wu Gorge, and at first, they cannot see Shennu Peak from a distance. At the big turn of Wu Gorge, the cruise ship turns sharply to the left, and Shennu Peak suddenly appears in front of tourists, and then gradually fades away, just like the illusion of Shennu in "Gao Tang Fu".

3. Chongqing has the most stunning night view in the world. Three Gorges cruise ships departing from Chaotianmen in Chongqing generally depart at 20:00 in the evening, which is the time to enjoy the night view of Chongqing's two rivers and four banks. Taking a boat to see the night view is the best way, so taking a Three Gorges cruise ship from Chongqing also saves the cost of purchasing tickets for the night view tour of the two rivers.
