Yangtze River Cruises and the Three Gorges Dam Tour
The Three Gorges Dam IS ALREADY there! And the Three Gorges ARE STILL there!
Taking A Yangtze River Cruise is a MUST-DO!
After the "last chance to see the Three Gorges" marketing campaigns in 2001-2003 by many overseas tour companies, many travelers thought the Three Gorges and many of the historic relics have gone with the flooding in June 2003, but IT IS WRONG!
In fact, the three gorges are still there, but the sailing passing the gorges is not so fast and "adventurous" as before. Most of the historic relics are either in the same place higher than the water level, or transferred to higher places. Furthermore, new attractions are now available in existence for you to see and explore, among which the most famous is the Three Gorges Dam.
The watercourse is wider and bigger and more comfortable ships are built to provide more comfortable cruising. (The cruises used to be not so comfortable to most cruise lovers.)
Come to see the changes and enjoy a more comfortable Yangtze river cruise!
Why Take a Yangtze River Cruise ?
Three Gorges Dam
To see the world-largest dam - Three Gorges Dam
Time flies fast! When you are still hearing the debating on "to or not to" build the dam, it is already there! The hydraulic power has already been supplying cities like Shanghai and Suzhou. Come to see the HUGE dam, and your ship will cross the 5-level huge lock.
Passing the Three Gorges
To sail across the natural wonder: Three Gorges
"The mighty Yangtze river and its Three Gorges has long been one of Asia's most revered and dramatic nature attractions."
- by Mr. Richard Carroll
Local people
Experience the authentic lives of local people and their culture
To visit the local countryside area and see the lives of common people - which you can not see in big cities like Beijing, Shanghai, etc.
Enjoy the sun shine on sun deck
Great Onboard Experience
Take part in various activities onboard and learn about Chinese culture. Most of the cruises provide Chinese culture presentation, staff show, and excellent Chinese cuisine.
Deluxe Yangtze Cruisers
Enjoy the relaxation and comfort
As the dam has locked the water flow, the Yangtze river is not so "mighty" as before. Bigger ships have been built and old ships are refurnished. Cruising on the Yangtze River is now much more comfortable and
exciting than before.
