Where should I start from Yichang to Yunyang?

If you choose to take a boat, there are two ways.

You can take a slow boat, that is, a big boat, and get on the boat at the dock of Dagong Bridge.

It takes about 23 hours to cross the Three Gorges Dam and Gezhouba Dam.

You can also take a speedboat and buy tickets at Dagongqiao Pier. They are combined by land and water.

They will take you to Mao Ping by bus first, because Mao Ping is located in the upper reaches of the Three Gorges Dam, which greatly reduces the time.

You can take their speedboat from Mao Ping to Yunyang, which takes about 5 6 hours.

I hope my answer can help you.

I'm from Yunyang, too. I study in other places and come back like this every year.
