How to Visit the Three Gorges Dam

How to visit the Three Gorges Dam? I took a cruise to the Three Gorges Dam, mainly to explore the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, including this scenic spot. The dam is still worth a visit. The spectacular scenery when passing through the dam is truly awe inspiring. The spectacular scene of the five level gate is a great compliment to the builders of this magnificent project. The seamless coordination and ingenuity throughout the entire process when passing through the ship lock are extremely impressive. It is recommended to visit and book tickets for the Meiya Three Gorges Cruise on the official website of the booking center.

If the Three Gorges Dam departs from Yichang, it is a one-day itinerary. There are buses available at the Yichang Tourist Distribution Center. If out of town tourists find it troublesome, they can find a travel agency to join a group tour. You can also take a self driving trip, but it is not recommended to drive yourself. When going to the Three Gorges Dam, you need to change your car three times. Your own car is not allowed to drive on the highway, which is time-consuming and laborious.

We went on the "Two Dams and One Gorge" tour, taking a cruise directly from the dock in Yichang to the vicinity of the Three Gorges Dam. To get to the Three Gorges Dam, we had to go to the "Transfer Center" to buy transfer tickets and take the dam's bus to enter for sightseeing. Cruise tickets can be checked at theMeiya Three Gorges Cruise Ticket Reservation Centeron the official website, or inquired at the Tourist Distribution Center.

There are Three Gorges cruise ships stopping at various places along the Yangtze River. We took the Three Gorges cruise ship to go there, and the cruise ship can choose to stop at some cities and scenic spots along the way from Chongqing to Yichang or from Yichang to Chongqing. A regular cruise ship has 5 levels of cabins, and the ticket prices vary depending on the cabin level. The ticket prices range from around 180 to 1100 yuan, including boat tickets and some shore attractions, some of which also include the Three Gorges Dam.

Our family took a cruise to visit the Three Gorges Dam and purchased tickets at the Meiya Three Gorges Cruise Booking Center. As we passed by the dam, we could see all the ships queuing up and slowly moving forward. It takes about 2 hours to pass through the five gates and 40 minutes to take the elevator. Our cruise ship used the elevator to climb over the dam. The scene is very spectacular.

If you are visiting the Three Gorges Dam, it is best for friends from other places to take other transportation to Yichang first. It is best to book a one-day tour group in Yichang to save time and effort. If it's a bit troublesome to go there by yourself, you should change your car three times, because the dam is not something you can easily enter, it is managed and arranged by a unified tour route.
