Yangtze River Cruise
The Yangtze River is the
longest river in China and the third longest in the
world after the Amazon and Nile. The Yangtze River along
with the Yellow River is renowned as the "Mother Rivers
of China" as it has
nourished China's long and splendid culture. The
evidence is seen in the varied cultural heritage along
the river. Taking a Yangtze cruise is a popular way to
discover China. There is an old saying: "on a slow boat
to China". Well, why not relax on a slow boat in China,
on the beautiful Yangtze River. A Yangtze River Cruise
will take you through the center of China, while giving
you the opportunity to see some of the most spectacular
scenery imaginable. Here are the top reasons to choose a
Yangtze cruise:
High Star Rating Yangtze Cruise Ships:
The Yangtze cruise ships offered by China Highlights are
all rated at four stars and above, which will ensure you
a safe and well-catered-for trip.
Usually, the cruise starts from
Chongqing for
downstream tour.
Enjoy the Beautiful Gorge Scenery on a Slow
Ship:
Yangtze cruise ships travel slowly for passengers to
enjoy the beautiful scenery. Broadcasts from the ship’s
PA system, transmitting information on shore excursions
or from guest lecturers to your cabin, ensure that you
will not miss a chance to see any special scenery; even
if you are relaxing in your cabin. The most impressive
section of the river is the Three Gorges (Sanxia) area,
comprising: Qutang Gorge, Wuxia Gorge and Xiling Gorge.
The gorges of this mighty river climb hundreds of meters
(thousands of feet) on both sides, and it is truly
breathtaking to witness.
Classic and More Specialized Shore Excursion:
There are several impressive guided shore excursions on
offer during a Yangtze cruise (one or two shore
excursions a day), including such classic attractions as
the Three Gorges Dam, Daning River’s Lesser Three
Gorges, and Fengdu Ghost City.
Complete Leisurely and Comfortable Sightseeing:
Enjoy the sunrise, sunset and starry nights on a sun
deck while drinking a cup of wine or coffee. That is the
life!
A Yangtze Cruise Gives You More Free Time and
Less Hassle:
Sailing aboard a fine hotel, there is no traffic
congestion or the many other hassles of traveling by bus
or train. You have more free time to enjoy yourself in
your own way. According to your preference you could:
Learn Tai Chi or practice Yoga on the sun deck
accompanied with the pleasant river breeze, drink a cup
of coffee on your private balcony, chat at a wine party,
make friends with people from different parts of the
world, play cards in the card room, watch TV in you
cabin or just have a sweet nap to refresh yourself.
Gourmet Cuisine To Suit Every Palate:
There is a great variety of dishes served on Yangtze
cruise ships, both Chinese and Western food. You can
choose according to your tastes.
Onboard Activities and Staff Shows Featuring
Chinese Customs:

displaying costumes from different Chinese dynasties and
ethnic groups, the various customs for marrying in
different parts of China and representative scenes from
famous classical Chinese novels are popular with
passengers.
