Yichang Three Gorges Cruise Ship Passes through Ship Lock

Yichang Three Gorges Cruise passing through the ship lock: Ships with lift attractions usually have to change ships to pass through the lock, and the lift for cruise ships that are not fully included in the price is self funded. Which Three Gorges cruise ship should I choose to pass through the ship lock without changing ships? It's Changjiang No.1, which is the only Three Gorges cruise ship among the Yangtze River Three Gorges cruise ships that allows me to experience the ship lift without changing ships. Please note that none of them! The flagship of Changjiang No.1 Cruise is a super unbeatable comfort, with a maximum load of 222 people and a higher proportion of service personnel. Compared to other super large ships with a full load of 650 people waiting in line for 1 hour to board and disembark, Changjiang No.1 really has a reason to choose.

Changjiang No.1 is the only luxury cruise ship that allows passengers to pass through the elevator without disembarking, which is also one of the reasons why I chose it. In the afternoon, we will first stop at Zigui Port, disembark and take a bus to visit the dam. Many cruise ships with familiar names have stopped at Zigui Port, and the destination for other cruise ships is here. The ships cannot pass through the dam, and it is said that ships that need to pass through the five level ship lock sometimes have to wait in line for two months, taking more than four hours each time. Therefore, many cargo ships take the waterway on both sides of the Three Gorges Dam and the land route in the middle. The construction of the dam scenic area is relatively humanized, with most of the mountain paths having elevators. Taking a quick glance around and marveling at the grandeur of the Three Gorges Dam, we arrived at the highlight of the evening - the ship lift. The principle of the ship elevator car is similar to a balance. After the ship enters, the valve is closed, and the weight of the water and the ship is the same as the weight outside. Then, the side gear rotates in reverse to increase the weight of the ship and decrease it, and rotates in forward to reduce the weight of the ship and float it up. We are launching a ship, so the ship needs to descend more than 100 meters. The car is 18 meters wide, while the Yangtze River No.1 is 16.8 meters wide, and the entire journey relies on the precise command of the captain. When the ship descended to the appropriate height and looked at the large stone threshold in front of it, I was still thinking about how to proceed. The stone threshold sank? It turned out to be pouring down. The whole process took an hour, it was truly a worthwhile trip.
