There is no better way to explore the beautiful landscape and experience the ancient culture and matchless architecture of China than on a Yangtze River cruise. To experience the cruising on Yangtze River at fullest, it would be helpful for you to be at one of the port cities of Chongging, Yichang, Shashi and Wuhan.
While cruising on Yangtze River, you must not miss the rich culture and diverse history of Yangtze River. The Yangtze has formed China in more than just a physical way. The most extraordinary part of the river is Sanxia or the three Yangtze River gorges: namely Qutang Gorge, Wuxia Gorge and Xiling Gorge. The river is the life of China.
What to see
