Chongqing Three Gorges self-help tour

Feel the Three Gorges, the most legendary canyon.

No canyon has been given more poems and praises by literati than the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. The majestic Qutang Gorge, the thrilling Wuxia Gorge and the beautiful Xiling Gorge constitute the most magical canyon in the world. Poets and writers such as Li Bai, Bai Juyi and Su Shi endowed the art here with exile temperament, while Wang Zhaojun and Qu Yuan added the most romantic and legendary colors. The three countries competed for each other, and countless heroes galloped across the ancient battlefield. Now, although things have changed, they left endless imagination and deep sighs for future generations.

Tour in the Three Gorges

Three Gorges cruise ships call at all places along the Yangtze River. Before booking, you should first pay attention to choosing the route, because the Yangtze River has different scenery, and each leg has its own wonderful scenery. Secondly, choose a cruise ship. Even if you sail in the same area, the ports where different cruise ships stop and the routes they pass will have some differences. It is recommended to carefully refer to and compare the route maps and itineraries provided by various cruise companies before going. The third step is to choose the shipping space. The layout of cruise ships is basically the same. Most cabins are arranged in the middle of the ship. The closer to the bridge, the more luxurious the cabin and the better the landscape. Some rooms also have private observation decks. As a public area, restaurants, shops, bars, nightclubs, theaters and other places are mostly located in the fore and aft parts of the cruise ship.

Tour route

1. Downstream tour, that is, sailing along the river from Chongqing to Yichang, usually lasts for 3 days, and stops at major scenic spots along the way during the day, about in 42 yuan.

2. Round-trip sightseeing, that is, visiting Chongqing to Yichang and then returning to Chongqing by boat, usually takes 4-6 days, and the cost is about 63 yuan (generally domestic cruise ships, excluding meals on board) and 1,78 yuan (foreign luxury cruise ships, generally all-inclusive fees).

Tourist shuttle bus

The tourist shuttle bus in Yichang can easily reach various scenic spots, and it is usually taken at Dagong Bridge. Such as Wufeng Chaibuxi Scenic Area, Yuan 'an Mingfengshan Scenic Area, Jiuwan Creek in Zigui County, Ancient Chaoyin Cave in Yidu City, Xiaofeng Scenic Area in Yiling District and Qishi Village in zhijiang city Three Gorges.

cruise ship

1. Yichang-Wanzhou District is a flying wing-a Russian high-speed tourist ship with a diesel engine, which is noisy but fast.

2. If you want to savor the Three Gorges, it is best to take a cruise. All major travel agencies or hotels in Yichang have luxury cruise business, but it usually takes several days to visit the Three Gorges in this way, and the cost is relatively expensive.

Access to the Three Gorges is mainly a long and narrow canyon between Wanzhou District of Chongqing and Yichang City of Hubei Province. Due to the distribution of scenic spots, it is best to take a cruise from Yichang. There are many ways to get to Yichang or Chongqing from all over the country, and the transportation is convenient. The Three Gorges Airport, which is closest to the Three Gorges, is located in Yichang, with flights from Yichang to Beijing, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Dalian, Haikou, Wuhan, Zhangjiajie, Huangshan, Xiamen and other places, with direct flights from expressway. The Three Gorges Airport is 26 kilometers away from the urban area, and the airport bus leaves from Qingjiang Hotel two hours before each flight takes off.

Railway

You can take a train to Chongqing or Yichang, and then take a boat tour. Yichang East Railway Station is a direct train from Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Wuxi, Xi 'an, Taiyuan and Wuhan, and it is also the high-speed railway station of Yichang. The traffic from highway to Yichang mainly depends on Yihuang Expressway, and luxury express train is usually an important choice for people. You can take a bus from Wuhan, Jingzhou, Enshi, Shennongjia and other places, and then take a cruise to visit the Three Gorges.

To visit the Three Gorges by water, you can go to Chongqing, Wuhan and Yichang first, then take a boat tour and dock at the scenic spot. The advantage of this is that the cruise ship is responsible for transportation, accommodation and catering, avoiding the pain of running around and the trouble of finding a hotel first every time. Take the Three Gorges cruise ship and generally choose the "Chongqing-Yichang (or Yichang-Chongqing)" section, stopping at Fuling, Fengdu, Yunyang, Fengjie, Wushan, Badong, Mao Ping and other stations along the way. The whole fare is from 3 yuan to 1,2 yuan.

There are generally two ways to get to the Three Gorges in scenic spots:

From Yichang to Chongqing

1. It takes a long time to sail and there is enough time to enjoy the scenery on both sides. 2。 The cost is relatively low.

downstream from Chongqing to Yichang

1. Push the boat with the current, and the speed of the boat is fast. 2。 During the day, the scenic spots are arranged, and the scenery on both sides of the strait is unobstructed. 3。 Generally, you can't go on a boat at night, and the rest and entertainment on the boat will not be affected by the itinerary.

Traveling in the Three Gorges

Generally, you can visit the Three Gorges by boat. The Three Gorges (Qutang Gorge, Wuxia Gorge and Xiling Gorge) and its scenic spots are all watched on board, and tickets are not needed. So be sure to find a safe and beautiful viewing position on the boat. When disembarking for sightseeing, you must keep in mind the dock where the cruise ship stops and the sailing time of the cruise ship, and you must return to the cruise ship before sailing. Rain gear is one of the necessary items because it is unpredictable in the Three Gorges. There is a strong river wind on board, so thin sweaters or coats should be prepared in spring and autumn; It is even colder on the Yangtze River in winter, so you should bring heavy clothes, such as down jackets. 15 yuan, Wushan Little Three Gorges.

Shi Baozhai ★★★★ ★

The most important reason why the beauty of Shi Baozhai is breathtaking is that it is built on the cliff of Yuyin Mountain, which combines the steep pull of the mountain. The 12-story tower-shaped attic built on the mountain, with a height of 56 meters and an all-wood structure, is the only wooden structure left in China. There is no nail in the whole building, and it has been well preserved for more than 3 years, which is really an architectural miracle. Cost: 5 yuan

Transportation: Take a long-distance bus at Chongqing Chaotianmen Bus Station or take a speedboat at Chaotianmen Wharf to Zhongxian County, and then take the shuttle bus at Zhongxian Bus Station (every 3 minutes) to Shi Baozhai.

Qutang Gorge ★★★★ ★

The first stop in the Three Gorges is also the shortest canyon. Qutang Gorge starts from Fengjie Baidi City in the west and ends at Wushan Daning River in the east, with a length of only 8 kilometers. The main scenic spots in this section are: Baidi City, Daxi Ancient Culture Site and Cuban Hanging Coffins.

Wuxia ★★★★★

Wuxia, also known as Daxia, is known as "Xiu" and is the most wonderful section of the Three Gorges. The canyon is particularly deep and tortuous, which was formed by the Yangtze River crossing the Wushan main vein anticline. The whole gorge area is abrupt with strange peaks, rugged rocks, peaks like screens, and winding rivers, just like a winding gallery, full of poetry and painting. The journey starts from Daning estuary in the east of Wushan City in the west and ends at Badongguan Ferry in the east, about 4 kilometers long.

Wushan Yunyu ★★★★ ★

"It used to be difficult for the sea to touch water, forever amber", and the familiar poems made Wushan Yunyu famous. The water vapor in Wuxia is persistent all the year round. The higher the water level, the greater the humidity, and the mist on the river surface haunts the mountains, which is quite mysterious. The Three Gorges Project has little effect on this magical landscape.

goddess peak ★★★★★

Apart from the sex in Wushan, another unique feature of Wuxia is the deep and wonderful peaks. On both sides of the Xiajiang River, the green hills are constantly rising, and the peaks are like screens, piercing the sky; The valley is deep and the gorge is long, and the river is tortuous. During the boat trip, the peaks turn around. Among the peaks on both sides of Wuxia Gorge, twelve peaks with their own characteristics are strange, among which goddess peak is the most exquisite and beautiful. Because the beautiful peaks and valleys look like fairy goddesses, coupled with beautiful legends, lifeless rocks have a somewhat charming look. At sunrise, the sun rises from the depths of goddess peak, which has always been a' classic landscape' on the Three Gorges. After the completion of the Three Gorges Project, the goddess peak is less than 5 meters submerged, which is harmless.

The best time to watch the sunrise is from 6: 3 to 8: 3 in spring and summer; Autumn and winter 7: 3 ~ 9: .

Three Gorges Dam ★★★★ ★

After trudging through Wan Li, the Yangtze River was intercepted by the Three Gorges Dam in the middle of Xiling Gorge. The elevation of the Three Gorges Dam is 185 meters, and the final operating water level is 175 meters. After the water level rose to 135 meters above sea level, a two-way five-stage lock was used. The whole project was completed in 26.

Xiling Yangtze River Bridge is located in the dam area of the Three Gorges Dam, which was specially built for the Three Gorges Project, with a total length of 1,118. 66 meters, 18 meters wide and 187 meters high. 5 meters, a single span of 9 meters, known as "the first span in China."

The dam site of Three Gorges Dam is located in Zhongbao Island, Sandouping, Yichang City, Hubei Province, 38 kilometers away from the downstream Gezhouba Water Control Project, which is the largest water control project in the world today. The Three Gorges Dam scenic spot is mainly composed of three scenic spots: flood discharge scenic spot, 185 scenic spot and Pinghu scenic spot. In Tanziling, you can overlook the dam and the Yangtze River. In the flood discharge scenic spot, you can see the magnificent and thunderous flood discharge landscape; In the 185 scenic spot, you can enjoy the wonderful picture of "cutting off the clouds and rain in Wushan and leaving Pinghu in Gaoxia". The Three Gorges River Closure Memorial Park is located on the right bank of the Three Gorges Dam. In this phantom imaging theater, you can relive the grand scene of the Three Gorges River closure.

Dengying Gorge ★★★★★

When the boat crossed the Yangtze River, it saw four huge stones on the cliff top, which looked like Tang Priest, the Monkey King, Pig Bajie and Friar Sand. If the angle was right, it was really vivid. Because when the setting sun shines, it looks like a shadow play, and the locals call it a "light shadow play", so it is named "light shadow gorge" here.

Fees: Free

Transportation: You can also take Bus No.4 in Yichang City to reach the Three Gorges Tea City or Company No.22 Station, and there is a special bus from Yiling Bus Terminal to the Three Gorges Family Scenic Area. Or take a special cruise ship from the Three Gorges family and two dams and one gorge at Gezhouba No.3 lock pier.

Gezhouba ★★★★ ★

Gezhouba was built in Yichang, Hubei, with a total length of 2,561m and a height of 7m. Among the three shiplocks, Dajiang No.1 and Sanjiang No.2 are the best shiplocks in China and Asia, and the design of the shiplocks is also world-class. When the 27-hole flood sluice and three sand sluices are opened at the same time, the largest flood peak water volume in the history of the Yangtze River-15, cubic meters per second can be safely discharged.

transportation: take bus No.3 and No.9 from Yichang city to the dam, and the fare is 1 yuan.

the grandeur and tranquility of Gezhouba

1. When the summer flood season comes, you can see a spectacular scene in front of the floodgate, which can only be described as the stormy waves lapping on the shore. 2。 The most interesting thing about Gezhouba is to cross the sluice by boat and go boating on the Pinghu Lake. You need to experience the wonderful scenery yourself.

Sanyoudong Scenic Area ★★★★ ★

Listen to the names of these scenic spots, including Sanyoudong, Chusai Building, Zhangfei Drum Platform, Luyouquan and Xialao Stream, and you can imagine how many historical figures have hurried by in the Chu land with outstanding people.

Cost: 78 yuan

Transportation: There is no.1 direct bus in yanjiang road, or take No.4 bus and change to CMB at the terminal. In a word, I recommend the scenic spot: Baidicheng "pays homage to Baidicheng in the colorful clouds, and a thousand miles of Jiangling will be returned in one day". Li Bai's famous sentence makes Baidicheng a place name known to women and children, and you can see the whole picture of Qutang Gorge.

Baidi City Fee: 12 yuan (including tickets for the Ancient Elephant Museum and ferry) Transportation: Take a bus to Fengjie County at Chongqing North Bus Station, with a fare of 16 yuan, and then take a bus to Baidi City at Fengjie with a fare of 5 yuan.

Xiling Gorge starts from Nanjinguan in Yichang in the east and reaches Xiangxi estuary in Zigui in the west. It is the longest gorge in the Three Gorges with a total length of 66 kilometers.

Eat and drink the Three Gorges

The food in the Three Gorges also has beautiful scenery. There are many delicacies made with local specialties in the Three Gorges, only this one has no branch. For example, the Three Gorges is rich in oranges, and there are many dishes made of oranges, such as dried tangerine beef, dried tangerine fish pieces, pomelo-flavored dried tangerine wings and pomelo-flavored meat.

Fish

It is impossible not to mention fish on the Yangtze River. There are many kinds of edible fish in the Three Gorges, and most of them are fresh and tender. The best fish in Yichang and the Three Gorges area is yellow croaker, which is mainly produced in the Yangtze River and its tributaries. It tastes delicious when boiled in soup or hot pot. Yangtze grilled fish has become a brand.

The Three Gorges Sailor's Banquet

It's called "Banquet", which is actually the simplest food that the Three Gorges used to eat for boatmen. Cooking methods are basically steaming and roasting. Fresh small crucian carp in the river are strung with chopsticks. After roasting, kimchi is stuffed in the pot, and the taste is absolutely original.

The Three Gorges, a special snack, is divided into the Big Three Gorges and the Small Three Gorges. In the Big Three Gorges, tourists basically eat it on cruise ships, so that they can not only enjoy the beautiful scenery, but also taste the delicious food. In the Three Gorges, you can get off the boat and eat some special snacks. However, people with bad stomachs had better eat less. Steamed tofu is pickled with watercress, spices, cooking wine, etc., and then steamed in a cage, which has a unique taste.
