Tips for Yangtze Cruise
1. You would appreciate the landscapes of the Three Gorges (Qutang Gorge, Wu Gorge and Xiling
Gorge) and the scenic spots (such as Goddness Peak) on the ship, and you don't need to buy ticket for them. You should pay attention to the broadcast and the staff's suggestion on the ship since the sightseeing time is very important.
2. Some of the scenic spots (such as Fengdu Ghosts City, Zhang Fei Temple, Shibaozhai, White Emperor City, Quyuan Temple, Shennong Stream, Three Gorges Dam, Yueyang Tower, Jingzhou Ancient City) need you to get off the ship and land on the ground. The scenic spots you would visit are different for different ships, upstream or downstream. When you arrive at a spot, you should listen to the broadcast on the ship and take the advice of your guide, remember the wharf where the ship stops and the departure time of your ship. You must be back to the ship before the ship's departure.
3. Pay attention to your personal safety and property security on the ship. Avoid falling in the river, especially children. Remember to lock your door and take your cash and valuable personal belongings (such as camera) with you when you leave your cabin (to the restaurant for dinner or travel ashore).
4. When you arrive at Fengdu Ghosts City, take the cableway or not is up to you. You don't need to take the advice of the staffs' blindly.
5. You need to wear portable shoes since the scenic spots require you to do it.
6. Rain gear is a necessity for your Yangtze Cruise since the weather of Three Gorges is unpredictable.
7. You should prepare a thin sweater or coat in spring and autumn since it was so windy while you enjoy the beautiful landscapes on the ship. You should prepare a heavy coat (such as down wear) since it is really cold on the river. You'd better prepare a pair of sunglass and sunscreen in summer.
8. Buy some food (such as some convenient food, mineral water and snacks) before you get on the ship since the goods on the ship are limited and more expensive.
