Qingjiang River Gallery

We cruised through the Three Gorges and found them beautiful and fascinating to see. Our trip included a small boat excursion up a side channel, which was quite lovely. The scenery reminded me somewhat of the Milford Sound, with the mountains plunging directly into the river. The water level was raised about 170 meters by the dam project, displacing 1.3 million residents. Three Lesser Gorges From the boat we transferred to a ferry and then when the gorges became smaller as we headed up stream we switched to a sampan. There is little doubt that some of the attractions along the sampan tour are staged but that doesn't mean they are bad and the scenery is pretty special. The cliff burial caves are also interesting

Nanny-level strategy!. 💫I stayed at the Kerry Select River View Hotel on the night, next to Wanda. Many hotels play the "river view" feature. The front desk service of this hotel is particularly worth mentioning, their enthusiasm and politeness make me feel warm💞. When asking them to send items, the interaction is full of friendly greetings, and there will be no embarrassment at all. The price is affordable, and you can drive in and out for free all day until 11:45 the next morning. If it is overdue, you only need to ask the front desk to swipe the card, which is convenient and easy! To the Cool Gallery, Three Gorges Dam, Three Gorges People, all within 1 hour's drive, the scenery along the way is unparalleled😍. 💫However, be aware! The Three Gorges Waterfall has been closed due to recent heavy rains, and we still cannot enter after buying tickets😫. Please be sure to call the scenic spot or pay attention to its public account to inquire about the opening situation before going. 💫As for the Cool Gallery, we chose Line B, with a total price of 135 yuan/person, including tickets and boat tickets. After climbing the mountain to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the mountains, then take a boat back, easy and joyful😂! We arrived at more than 2 pm and took the boat at 4 pm, which was convenient and fast. Warm reminder: The last boat is at 4:30 in the afternoon, don't miss it. Line B can climb mountains and take boats, recommended👍. 💫Before going to the Three Gorges Dam, don't forget to apply for a vehicle pass on the public account, otherwise it will be very troublesome to get off halfway😓. I made an appointment in advance, and it was basically released immediately as soon as a batch was opened. Note that the post is guarded by armed police, do not take pictures, otherwise you will be seriously questioned and checked. 💫The Three Gorges Dam has clear road signs to guide tourists to the bus transfer center. Don't be fooled by the roadside cattle. They will guide you off the right path and recommend buying high-priced tickets. We chose a ticket for 65 yuan, which can take the scenic area bus. You can also choose to take an electric car, the price is reasonable but shorter, walking is also good, about 15 minutes🚶‍♂️. The place to buy tickets is not far away, and you can feel more fun by exploring on your own, study more strategies, and avoid unnecessary expenses. 💫For dinner, we tasted Wang's cold shrimp, which tasted okay. But if you are not in love with this kind of food, you may not be able to notice the difference between its cold shrimp and others. Enjoy food in "Daijie Restaurant", simple but delicious, overall full and return. Pepper chicken🍗, scrambled eggs with leeks🥚, beef offal hot pot🥘, stir-fried amaranth🥗, fat intestine silk, all down only 252 yuan. A big highlight is that the business is booming. If you come late, you may need to wait. It is recommended to reserve a seat in advance to free up space. Don't forget to park your car on the side of the road🚗.
