How to get to the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River? The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River starts from Bai Di in Fengjie, Chongqing in the east and Nanjinguan in Yichang, Hubei in the east. Therefore, to travel to the Three Gorges, you can travel from Shanghai to Chongqing or Yichang. From these two places, you can take a cruise from the Yangtze River to the Three Gorges. The journey from Yichang is generally 5 days and 4 nights (usually boarding in Yichang on the first night and boarding in Chongqing on the fifth morning). Since 2000, cruise ships with trips to the water have cancelled the five-level lock of the Three Gorges Dam, and most of them have been boarded at Zigui Port. Visitors boarding in Zigui are picked up by the cruise company from yichang east railway station to Zigui Port for free. The journey from Chongqing is generally 4 days and 3 nights (usually boarding in Chongqing on the first night and starting from Yichang at noon on the fourth day). Boarding place is Chaotianmen Wharf in Chongqing, which is in the center of the city and the traffic is very convenient.

Domestic cruise time costs between 600-1300 yuan/person, and the consumption is relatively low, which is more suitable for economic tourism.

Luxury cruise ships mainly include Yangtze River Royal Series, Century Series, Golden Series, Presidential Series, Goddess Series, Meiwei Series, Changhai Series and Royal Princess Series. One price and one service, if you are too cost-effective, may reduce your travel experience.

From the perspective of seasons, spring, summer and autumn are suitable, and the Three Gorges in each season has different beauty. Everything recovers in spring, so it's just right to go for an outing. At this time, the Three Gorges, full of green eyes, is full of spring. In summer, the river swells, the river is wide, and the river wind blows head on, which is very pleasant. In autumn, red leaves are everywhere on both sides of the river, so it has a kind of beauty.
