we would like to take the Yangtze river cruise tour at Feb 10, 2010. Can anybody give some advice?

Nov. 12,2009 20:43
Ms.Marcia replied:

I don’t think it’s the proper time to take the Yangtze River tour in Feb since most of the cruise ships will not sail in winter time due to low water level or poor reservations. As far as I know most of the cruise ships will set their first sailing from the end of March.

I am interested in including the Yangtze River Cruise if the excursion goes along the Shen Nong Stream where we can see the Shen Nong Gorge Hanging Coffins.

Nov. 11,2009 01:39
Mr.Hendricks replied:

The Shennongxi pea-boat experience is always on the Yangtze River Cruise schedule. The Hanging Coffins were placed in the steep hillsides or cliffs long years ago. You can only see them far away on the boat. Due to the distance and the height, you can not see that clearly. If watching carefully, you will find its general outward appearance just as big as a human’s fist. The boat guide will remind you to watch up when the boat passing the coffins.

I have never been to China, this will be our first time. I will be in Guilin in April 2010 and like to take a Yangtze River Cruise. How do I get to Yichang to catch the Yangtze River cruise? Do the cruise always end in Chongqing or does it go to Xi'an? How do I get from Chongqing to Xi'an? Thank you.

Ms.Frieda replied:

Most people do the cruise from Chongqing to Yichang. Yichang to Chongqing is also feasible, but it won't go to xian. YOu can take flight or train from chongqing to xian, so do from yichang to xian.

I would like to tour Yangtze River in early December, but have limited time. Is there a shorter tour less than 4 days?

Oct. 26,2009 22:30
Ms.Bree replied:

I'm afraid not, the shortest tour is 4d3nights. BTW, Dec will be very cold and water level will be low. Many cruise companies may cancel the sailing. It maybe not a good time for cruising.

How far is the drive from Yichang to Shanghai?

Oct. 19,2009 03:42
Mr.Pothier replied:

Nobody ever think of driving from Yishang to Shanghai. It is too long a journey to drive. The distance between the two cities is more than 1800 kilometers. I think normal travelers would feel exhausted and it surely will be more expensive than flight. Why do you prefer the land transfer?

How many days will the Yangtze river cruise lasts?

Oct. 11,2009 15:30
Ms.PRIVATEDAYTRIPS(United Kingdom) replied:

It all depends if you are taking downstream or upstream cruise.
Downstream is usually from Chongqing to Yichnag and takes three days. This cruise is very popular with Chinese people as they think if you go downstream everything in your life would go easy, with stream flow.
Upstream takes longer and last 4 days from Yichang to Chongqing.
There is Victoria Cruises which sail from Shanghai to Chongqing and it takes 9 days. THE Cruise From Chongqing to Shanghai takes 8 days.

Mr.Torry replied:

I joined a cruise last year, from Yichang to Chongqing. The cruise lasted for 5 days 4 nights, it was great. However, after I finished the tour, I found the down stream cruise from Chongqing to Yichang which lasts for 3 nights could be better. Then I could save time for other cities. I heard there is also a longer line from Chongqing to Shanghai.
