The Yangtze Three Gorges Cruise (lasting three to five days) is incredible, providing the most exciting and unique river trips in the world. You will be excited, inspired and dwarfed by towering peaks and mile-high cliffs standing face to face on either side of the Yangtze River. Many of our guests have remarked how impressed they were with the Yangtze Cruise. " This was a fabulous trip that I really enjoyed .It was relaxing, interesting, and slow paced. But a Yangtze River cruise is the only way to see this part of China that will be undergoing dramatic changes during the upcoming years." 

You can abandon yourself to the adventure of exploring the Three Gorges, but don't forget to look for the location of the painting on the reverse of the 10 Yuan note!
