As a native of Chongqing, I am more fond of the mountains and rivers that can be found in this city. After exploring the entire mountainous city, I discovered that the true beauty of Chongqing lies along the Yangtze River. Allow me to recommend a relaxed and convenient travel guide that allows for a deep exploration of Chongqing. This is perhaps the correct way to experience tourism in Chongqing!
π The beautiful scenery along the Yangtze River is concentrated in the northeast of Chongqing, away from the city center. Many people abandon the idea of exploring this area due to the long journey and exhaustion. However, I strongly recommend taking a cruise to fully experience the beauty. I must mention the Golden Cruise I have personally been on, which offers a 4-day, 3-night package that includes meals, accommodations, and entrance tickets. It provides great value for money and saves time and effort. With this cruise, there is no need to plan an itinerary, making it highly suitable for family trips with older adults and children!
Taking a cruise along the Yangtze River towards the east will pass through many beautiful attractions. Allow me to summarize the popular routes to explore:
π [First Stop - Fengdu, Mingshan Scenic Area]
Fengdu Ghost City is hidden within Mingshan. It is built along the mountainside with trees shading the area. It is also an interesting place where you can experience "walking on the Huangquan Road, passing through the Ghost Gate, and crossing the Naihe Bridge." After returning from the scenic area, you can attend a captain's welcome reception on the cruise in the evening. There is also the Three Kingdoms Performance that you can choose to participate in at an additional cost.
π [Second Stop - Fengjie, Baidi City / Qutang Gorge / Kuimen]
As the cruise ship passes through the Qutang Gorge, it will pass by Baidi City, the same one where Liu Bei dropped off his orphaned son. Standing at the entrance of the Qutang Gorge on the ship, witnessing the magnificent scenery is truly breathtaking!
π [Third Stop - Wushan, Lesser Three Gorges / Mini Three Gorges]
Arriving at Wushan, one can truly understand the essence of the painting "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains." Drifting through the Lesser Three Gorges of Wushan, one can experience the towering cliffs, steep peaks, and bizarre rock formations, resembling ancient mythical creatures. You can even see the hanging coffins on the cliffs that have been there for thousands of years. Continuing into the Mini Three Gorges, the jade-green river and stunning landscapes await. Upon returning to the cruise ship in the evening, a sumptuous Three Gorges cuisine dinner awaits, featuring the specialties along the Three Gorges.
π [Fourth Stop - Yichang, Three Gorges Dam]
The Three Gorges Dam is the world's largest hydroelectric power station. Its significance is well-known to everyone. However, witnessing it in person is still deeply awe-inspiring.
The food on the cruise ship is also very distinctive, featuring specialties such as the spicy chicken from Fengdu, river water tofu pudding, and spicy hotpot. There are dozens of dishes to choose from, ensuring that every meal is satisfying.
On the Golden Cruise, there are also massage services, shopping opportunities, movie screenings, KTV, fitness facilities, swimming pools, and even a bar. This journey offers endless enjoyment and is a new discovery for someone like me who is accustomed to self-driving travel. It truly proves that a cruise trip is the ultimate experience!
