The most beautiful canyon selected by National Geographic, I regret not coming here earlier

Almost every Chinese knows about the Three Gorges, where there are the ultimate canyon landscapes and fascinating stories, consistently listed in 'National Geographic' as a must-visit place in a lifetime, The Three Gorges have always been on my wish list, and this year I finally found the opportunity to visit here, Taking a luxury cruise down the Yangtze River, I experienced what Li Bai described as 'the light boat has passed through thousands of mountains', I really regret not coming earlier! . 🚢 Itinerary DAY1: Boarding at Chaotianmen Pier in Chongqing ☑️ Captain's welcome dinner, enjoying the night view of the mountain city Chongqing on the deck DAY2: Fengdu Ghost City ➠ Zhong County's Three Kingdoms Smoke Signals (at your own expense) ☑️ A rare ghost culture tour area in China, gained a lot of knowledge under the guidance of the tour guide; watched a live performance at night, with high-tech sound, light, and electricity, telling the story of Guan Yu DAY3: Baidi City (at your own expense) ➠ Qutang Gorge ➠ Wu Gorge ➠ Goddess Stream ☑️ The best day for scenery, all the highlights of the Three Gorges are here, with commentary at Qutang Gorge and Wu Gorge, and you can also visit the filming location of the 10 RMB note at Baidi City DAY4: Maoping Pier in Yichang ➠ Three Gorges Dam/Three Gorges Dam Ship Lift (at your own expense) ☑️ Close-up visit to the Three Gorges Dam before disembarking, ending the trip . 🔹 Taking a cruise is the best way to experience the Three Gorges, staying on the cruise the whole time, with the opportunity to enjoy the view at any time during the journey, and disembarking to visit the attractions, the itinerary is very well arranged without the need for self-planning; 🔹 I set off in mid-September, the Three Gorges were still in summer, with green mountains, frequent rain, and misty clouds, very ethereal; it is said that in October, you can see the mountains covered with red leaves, which is also very beautiful! 🔹 Visiting the Three Gorges is simple, mainly about choosing the ship and direction, similar to choosing a hotel, if you want a better experience, choose the more expensive one, I took the 'Century Glory', a huge cruise ship that is very stable and advanced, and the staff are very friendly and good-looking! I boarded in Chongqing and disembarked in Yichang, a 4-day and 3-night downstream journey, if it's upstream, it would be 5 days and 4 nights; 🔹 There are many delicious foods on the ship and they are different every day, I really enjoyed eating, and the quality of various alcoholic beverages is also excellent. . ‼️ Some tips for visiting the Three Gorges ➊ A good cruise ship runs very smoothly and without noise, you can't even feel that it's moving, so don't worry about seasickness; ➋ It is recommended to choose a room with a window view, you can see the landscape of the Three Gorges from your own room, which is wonderful; ➌ There are plenty of activities on the cruise, including bars, chess and card rooms, KTV, game machines, reading rooms, etc., you won't feel bored, but time will fly; ➍ You can freely choose the attractions to visit when disembarking according to your own physical condition, you don't have to participate in the whole journey, which will be much more relaxed; ➎ According to the staff on the ship, the Century Cruise's Chongqing to Shanghai route will set sail in October! Traveling through half of China along the Yangtze River, this experience will be memorable for a long time! Interested friends can pay attention.
