Hello, currently on the Chongqing Yichang route, except for the Changjiang No.1 cruise ship which is a ship lift passing through the Three Gorges Dam, all other luxury cruise ships in the Three Gorges Dam are only at the fifth level ship lock of the Three Gorges Dam.

All routes below Yichang (such as Chongqing Wuhan, Chongqing Jiujiang, Chongqing Nanjing, Chongqing Shanghai, etc.) will be crossed by Three Gorges cruise ships, and must pass through five level ship locks. The special trip of the Century Legend between Chongqing and Shanghai in November 2021 will pass through a five level ship lock.

Since 2018, the Ministry of Transport has cancelled the priority passage right for Three Gorges cruise ships passing through the ship lock. Previously, Three Gorges cruise ships could directly queue through the ship lock after arriving at the Three Gorges Dam, but now they can only pass through in a normal queue. That is to say, even if passing through a five level ship lock, it cannot guarantee that it will always be during the day, nor can it guarantee the required waiting time for queuing. Thank you for your attention to theMeiya Three Gorges Cruise Ticket BookingCenter!
