Chongqing to Yichang Cruise Tour

Chongqing to Yichang Cruise TourHow many days do you need? Where can I board the ship? How to choose a ship? What are the recommended attractions for Chongqing to Yichang cruise tourism? This is a concern for many first-time tourists visiting the Three Gorges. Today, the editor will organize it for everyone, hoping to be helpful.

Three Gorges cruise ships can be divided into two types based on their level of luxury: foreign-related luxury cruise ships and domestic ordinary cruise ships.

1、 How many days do you need?

Because Chongqing to Yichang flows downstream, it is relatively time-saving. Generally speaking, it takes 4 days and 3 nights for a foreign luxury cruise ship to board, that is, 18:00-20:00 on the first day, and 13:00 on the the fourth day at the Three Gorges Tourist Center in Yichang City, Hubei Province.

Domestic ordinary cruise ships take 1-3 days to disperse in Yichang city. Why are domestic cruise ships faster? Mainly because luxury foreign cruise ships usually board at Chaotianmen Port in Chongqing, while ordinary domestic cruise ships board at Fengdu Port, Wanzhou Port, Fengjie Port or Wushan Port downstream of Chongqing. Taking a bus between the city center and other ports is generally faster than taking a boat.

2、 Where can I board the ship?

Under normal circumstances, luxury foreign cruise ships from Chongqing to Yichang board at Chaotianmen Port in Yuzhong District, Chongqing. There are a total of 17 boarding ports in Chaotianmen, starting from Terminal 1 at the confluence of the two rivers, and heading towards Jialing River at Terminals 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 (even numbers), and heading towards the Yangtze River at Terminals 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, and 17 (odd numbers). Except for the New Century series cruise ships that board at fixed pier 11 and the Meiwei series cruise ships that board at fixed pier 5, all other cruise ships require the day of boarding to know the specific docking port（Three Gorges Cruise Ticket Reservation CenterThe customer service staff will proactively notify tourists of the specific boarding dock.

Of course, in case of the Yangtze River flood season, dry season, or other policy adjustments, cruise ships from Chongqing to Yichang may transfer at Fuling or Fengdu Port (cruise companies will arrange buses from the main city to the boarding dock, and this situation is relatively more common from June to August each year).

Domestic ordinary cruise ships board at Fengdu Port, Wanzhou Port, Fengjie Port, or Wushan Port around Chongqing. Tourists can choose to arrive at the port themselves to board the ship, or take the transfer vehicle arranged by the cruise company in the main city to board the ship at the port (in terms of cost, taking the transfer vehicle arranged by the cruise company is only 50 yuan/person higher than going to the port by oneself).

3、 How to choose a ship?

Generally, the editor suggests considering the following four aspects when choosing a suitable cruise ship:

1. According to your own time choice, you can first determine the length of the vacation or specify a departure date to see which cruise ships from Chongqing to Yichang are available for selection?

2. According to the travel budget, the current price of cruise ships from Chongqing to Yichang is between 258-9999 yuan/person. Generally speaking, the more expensive the price, the better the cruise ship or route standard!

3. According to the age, size, and room type of the cruise ship, all the cruise ships operating on the Yangtze River have been launched from 1994 to 2021, with a passenger capacity ranging from 124 to 690 people. The room types range from the inner cabin to the presidential suite. Some cruise ships also have facilities such as parent-child rooms, children's playgrounds, swimming pools, cinemas, game halls, golf clubs, and conference rooms. Tourists can choose suitable cruise ships according to their preferences.

4. According to the designated scenic spots, there are many Yangtze River cruise ships, but there are differences in the number of scenic spots that each cruise ship passes through. If tourists have a special preference for a certain scenic spot, they can choose the cruise ship that will stop at that scenic spot for travel.

4、 What scenic spots are recommended?

The section from Chongqing to Yichang is rich in scenic spots along the coast, including many famous and classic attractions such as Fuling Baiheliang, 816 Nuclear Project, Wuling Mountain Rift Valley, Fengdu Ghost City, Fengdu Shuanggui Mountain, Zhongxian Shibaozhai, Zhongxian's live performance of "The Three Kingdoms of Flames and Smoke", Yunyang Zhangfei Temple, Yunyang Longgang, Fengjie Baidi City, Fengjie's "Return to the Three Gorges" poetry and painting performance, Three Gorges Peak, Shennu Creek, Shennu Tianlu, Xiaosanxia and Xiaosanxia, Shennong Creek, Three Gorges Dam, Gezhouba, Qu Yuan's hometown, Three Gorges households, Shennongjia, etc. However, due to limited time, it is unlikely to visit all the attractions at once. Generally, cruise ships have 1-4 attractions, and there are also 1-4 voluntary self funded projects. Tourists can choose to participate according to their preferences. It's okay not to participate. The cruise ship travels through the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, and on board, you can see beautiful scenery such as Qutang Gorge, Wuxia Gorge, Xiling Gorge, and Shennu Peak.
