How to enjoy the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River by self driving tour

It is not recommended to drive to the Three Gorges. Unless you are particularly familiar with the route, you can't enjoy the essence of the Three Gorges.

How to enjoy the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River by self driving? Search for relevant guides on Xiaohongshu, and there are quite a few of them. We took a cruise ship there, and it seems that we cannot go to many scenic spots by self driving. When we see the Three Gorges Dam, we can only park the car in the tourist center, and it seems that we need to apply for a pass

Self driving tour, where are you going? Our dormitory passed through Wuhan last month and we arrived at the Three Gorges Tourist Center to go to the Three Gorges Dam. We were about to buy tickets for a sightseeing bus at the scenic area when we met a tour guide in the parking lot who tricked us into taking a boat. However, we spent nearly 200 yuan and didn't see anything. We also had to pay for the tour guide's travel expenses. It's really frustrating. Those who drove there must be careful not to listen to those unscrupulous tour guides and take a regular sightseeing bus.

I am departing from the city center of Yichang and will take the Three Gorges Expressway. I need to apply for a pass at the entrance of the expressway, which is free of charge. During peak seasons, it takes some time. The first attraction is to visit the Three Gorges Dam, which is open for free and can be booked in advance. The sightseeing bus costs 35 yuan per person and passes through Tanziling and the 185 observation platform. After the tour, I will take the sightseeing bus back to the tourist center. Due to limited time, I only visited the Three Gorges Dam.
