The Yangtze River Three Gorges starts from Baidi City in Fengjie County, Chongqing City, and ends at Nanjinguan in Yichang City, Hubei Province. The whole journey is surrounded by beautiful scenery and full of artistic atmosphere.
The Yangtze River has become a symbol of China, and the completion of the Three Gorges Dam in Yichang has attracted countless Chinese and foreign tourists. You can carefully taste Li Bai's artistic conception of 'the ape's voice on both banks cannot stop, and the light boat has passed thousands of mountains', which has a unique flavor! Seeing is believing.
🌿I went to the Three Gorges and was completely conquered by the beautiful scenery here. I admired the magnificence of Qutang Gorge, understood the beauty of Wu Gorge, and explored the danger of Xiling Gorge. Isn't the most beautiful mountain and river scenery in China here?

🌊The surging Yangtze River, flowing from west to east through the Three Gorges, nourishes the Chinese culture for thousands of years, and also breeds the unique human and natural landscape of the Three Gorges. The ancient Fengdu Ghost City, the culturally rich Baidi City, the majestic Three Gorges Dam, and the poetic Three Gorges people, every attraction surprises me!

⛰️Attractions recommendation
①Qutang Gorge
The river channel in the gorge is narrow, the narrowest place is only a few tens of meters, which makes the cliffs on both sides cling to each other, adding a bit of majesty. The most shocking is the Kui Gate. The Baiyan Mountain and Chijia Mountain on both sides rise from the ground, towering into the clouds, like a city gate set up by heaven and earth, tightly bundling the surging river into a gully. Seeing this scene, you can understand why Du Fu wrote 'All the waters will meet in Fuling, and Qutang will fight for one door.'
.
②Wu Gorge
There are many strange peaks and cliffs in the gorge, sometimes the mountains are in front of you, like the river is blocked; in a blink of an eye, the peaks turn and the water veins are connected. The roaring river constantly changes direction, making it dazzling. Coupled with the misty fog, it really makes people feel like they have entered a fairyland.

👉🏻About transportation
🛳️Take the waterway and take a cruise from Chongqing. This is a more relaxed and comfortable way. Eat, live, and play on the boat all the way, without leaving the room, you can see the scenery of the Three Gorges.
When making a travel guide, I also found that some friends take the land route, which I personally think is too troublesome, especially making a guide is too brain-burning, and I have to arrange hotel accommodation, attraction tickets and so on. After comparison, I decisively chose the cruise.

⚠️How to choose a boat?
When I first saw the Three Gorges cruise ship, I was shocked. I didn't expect that there were more than 40 cruise ships on the hundreds of miles of the Three Gorges, which really dazzled me. After doing some guides, I found a few good boats and recommended them to everyone:
♦️Cruise ships suitable for taking babies
Yangtze River No. 3: The big boat in the water is regarded as the ceiling of the Three Gorges cruise ship industry. It is equipped with children's playgrounds, open-air swimming pools and other rich entertainment venues, and more delicious Chinese and Western buffets.
.
♦️Cruise ships suitable for taking parents
Yangtze River Exploration: High-end exquisite cruise ship, a classic example of small and beautiful. The passenger capacity does not exceed 124 people, quiet and not noisy.
Yangtze River No. 1: You can directly pass through the ship lift and Gezhouba ship lock, unique route design, full of feelings, loved by elderly tourists.
·
♦️Cruise ships suitable for young people
Kaiyue: A super-large ship of 17,000 tons, with a blue-tone decoration style, fashionable and dynamic, delicious buffet, the first choice for young people.

🍃The 700-mile Three Gorges is magnificent and varied, with stacked green forests, birds and flowers, vast blue waves, and high mountains and flowing water! If you are tired of the hustle and bustle of the world, why not take a Three Gorges cruise and come here for a visit. Walk into such green mountains and green waters, throw away the troubles of the world, and enjoy a moment of tranquility and beauty!
The itinerary is reasonable. The ship experienced Xiling Gorge, one of the Three Gorges, and experienced the rising water and the high boat after Gezhou Dam. In the afternoon, I visited the Three Gorges Project of the National Heavy Industries. The tour guide Wang Si was very enthusiastic and carefully arranged the itinerary and explanation of more than 40 people. In short, this trip to Yichang's two dams and one gorge was very exciting and Perfect.
If it is for the view, I think this line can be abandoned, if it is for the complex, then there is nothing to entangle. We were lucky in the morning. We were the first tourists to board the boat. All the positions on the second floor were empty. The best position in the front cabin was seven or eight tables for four people. Unfortunately, we were five people. (Later I thought to understand that we should directly book a four-person table, Then there is a free area on the first floor or spend 40 on the fourth floor to blow the hair to see the scenery, because there is not much time for everyone to sit down). Talk about what I care about most before I get on the boat. The first floor is a row of chairs, free, closed large cabins, and it is difficult to see the scenery; The front cabin on the second floor has four tables and six tables. In the middle is the corner sofa and independent chair. It is no problem to sit 10 people. These charges are 268 yuan/table. The back cabin is basically two tables. I didn’t see the charge. It should be cheaper. The second floor has air conditioning as a whole; On the third floor, there are front and rear decks, everyone can go to the view. The front cabin of the room is semi-closed. It has air conditioning but it does not work. It is also a table for more than 4 people. The charge is also 268. The back cabin is a separate private room with a separate small balcony. The private room is too small. The two-person sofa is equipped with a four-person mahjong table, or a full sofa. In short, the indoor space is small and the charge is 588; the fourth floor is open, there are chairs, there is a sunshade, one person is 40, the view can not see the front, the front is the captain's room. Tea and snacks (snacks) are included above the second floor. The Three Gorges Scenic Area has no specific impression, because it is too hot and can't turn. All the scenery is a long-term look. The second point is a close contact with the dam.
#Peach blossom-like countryside Recently, the film of Chang'an 100,000 miles has brought Li Bai into an Internet celebrity IP. Everyone really can't forget Li Bai's poems. My favorite is that the sound of apes on both sides of the Straits can't stand it. The light boat has passed the mountains, and I regret these two sentences. Now I can't feel it in nature. Although the current Three Gorges Scenic Area of the Yangtze River has changed to another way, the road from Yichang to Chongqing by boat is a road that you have to walk in life. Sitting on the boat, you feel that you are still. The scenery on both sides of the Straits is mobile, in the process of moving can reflect the colorful natural landscape and I like the clouds in the cruise process the most. The clouds in the sky are more diverse, one time like a shoe, the other time like an animal, Let you feel its wind and clouds change at the same time, but also feel the beauty of nature of course, the time of the boat is relatively long, for seasick friends do not worry, because the boat is still stable, but the boating time is longer, everyone still do a good job of seasickness protection.
This tour is very good, especially the tour guide @Ao Li explained professionally and the service was in place! give it a like!
It is very interesting to experience the height of the water, but other times, it is basically a boat, it feels slightly boring, and finally walk around the Three Gorges Dam. Generally speaking, it is suitable for older people to swim comfortably. Young people and children feel bored more time.
Attentive service, warm and considerate
