Recommended tourist routes for the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River

Chongqing is directly governed by the Three Gorges Dam, and the first destination for tourists visiting Chongqing is undoubtedly the Three Gorges. Moreover, the Three Gorges on the Yangtze River is the only canyon in China that can be accessed by boat among the top ten canyons. The transportation for visiting the Three Gorges is recommended to take a cruise ship, but due to different boarding locations, the route may vary. Here, the editor will introduce it according to different boarding locationsYangtze River Three Gorges Tourist Routetrip.

1. Wanzhou Line

There are two types of tourist routes in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River: one-way and round-trip. The Wanzhou Line is a short route that allows for a complete visit to the Three Gorges. Wanzhou is my hometown. The one-way route takes 3 days and 2 nights. Day 1: Chongqing Changshou Wanzhou Yunyang (car dealership); The next day: Fengjie - Wushan - Three Gorges of the Yangtze River (by boat); Day 3: Qu Yuan's Hometown - Three Gorges Dam - Yichang. The round-trip route takes 4 days and 3 nights. Day 1: Chongqing Changshou Wanzhou Yunyang (car dealership); The next day: Fengjie - Wushan - Three Gorges of the Yangtze River (by boat); Day 3: Qu Yuan's Hometown - Three Gorges Dam - Yichang; The fourth day: Wanzhou Chongqing.

2. Fengjie Line

The Fengjie route in the Three Gorges tourism route of the Yangtze River has two types: one-way and round trip. As the Three Gorges starts from Fengjie, this route is the most direct to the topic. However, the small regret is that Qutangxia passes through at night. The one-way route takes 2 days and 1 night. Day 1: Chongqing Changshou Fengjie (car dealership); The next day: Wushan - Badong - Yichang (by boat). Round trip takes 3 days and 2 nights. Day 1: Chongqing Changshou Fengjie (car dealership); The next day: Wushan Badong Yichang Wushan (by boat); On the third day: Wushan Fengjie, then take a bus back to Chongqing during Fengjie.

3. Wushan Line

The Wushan route in the Three Gorges tourism route of the Yangtze River has two types: one-way and round-trip, but this route has some regrets as it cannot be crossed by boat through Qutang Gorge. The famous Wushan Yunyu has a great hotel at the foot of Wushan County, facing the Yangtze River and Wuxi Gorge with beautiful scenery. The editor can only help here. The one-way route takes 2 days and 1 night. First day itinerary: Chongqing Changshou Dianjiang Fengjie (by car); The next day's itinerary: Wushan - Badong - Yichang (by boat). The round-trip route takes 3 days and 2 nights. First day itinerary: Chongqing Changshou Dianjiang Fengjie (by car); Second day itinerary: Wushan - Badong - Yichang (by boat); Third day itinerary: Wushan Fengjie, drive back to Chongqing.

4. Chongqing route

The Chongqing route in the Three Gorges tourism route of the Yangtze River is entirely by boat (but during the dry season, it is necessary to drive to Fengdu before boarding), which takes 4 days and 3 nights. This route is currently the most complete Three Gorges tourism route, and can even be said to be the best boat tourism route on the Yangtze River. First day itinerary (boarding at night): Chongqing Fengdu; The next day's itinerary: Fengdu Zhongxian Fengjie; Third day itinerary: Fengjie Wushan Maoping (Three Gorges Dam); The fourth day: Maoping Yichang. In addition, there are some special routes, such as the Two Dams and One Gorge Tour from Yichang, which are not introduced here as they do not include the complete Three Gorges.

From the comfort level of the tourist route and the arrangement of scenic spots, I personally recommend the luxury cruise route departing from Chongqing:

One reason is that it takes more than 3 hours by car from Chongqing to Wanzhou, Fengjie, and Wushan, making the journey quite tiring. But now the high-speed railway from Chongqing to Wanzhou has been connected, Wanzhou Airport has been built, Wushan Airport and the high-speed railway from Chongqing to Wushan are also under construction. The editor believes that there will be more options for the future Yangtze River Three Gorges tourism route.
