Day 2Three Gorges Dam & Three Gorges Tribe

Awaken with the gentle sway of the river. After a hearty breakfast, choose to visit the Three Gorges Tribe(approx.2h, $45/pp/tour), where bamboo houses cling to hillsides and folk songs drift on the breeze, or savor a quiet morning onboard. In the afternoon, step ashore to marvel at the Three Gorges Dam, its concrete slopes a testament to human ambition. For an unforgettable finale, opt to witness the Ship Lift in action—a symphony of hydraulics lifting vessels like giants ascending a staircase(approx.2h, $50/pp/tour). As evening falls, enjoy the Captain’s Welcome Party, the ship gliding upstream beneath a tapestry of stars.

Day 3Wu Gorge, Qutang Gorge & Small Gorges

Dawn unveils the ethereal Wu Gorge, where jagged peaks pierce the clouds like ancient brushstrokes. Transfer to a wooden sampan to drift through the Lesser Three Gorges, where turquoise waters mirror lush cliffs and fishermen’s huts dot the banks. You can choose to extend your adventure to the secluded Little Lesser Three Gorges(approx.2h, $30/pp/tour), a hidden realm of whispering rapids and emerald pools. By afternoon, the ship enters the narrow Qutang Gorge, its cliffs towering so close you could almost touch their weathered faces. Opt to ascend to White Emperor City(approx.2h, $45/pp/tour), perched high above the river, where poets once penned verses to the Yangtze’s grandeur. Return to the ship for a gourmet dinner, followed by a crew performance blending music and myth.

If Wuling Mt. is not available, visit Fengdu Ghost City would be an alternative in the afternoon(approx.2h, $45/pp/tour), its statues of underworld judges guarding tales of karma and rebirth. As dusk settles, savor your final onboard dinner, the river’s rhythm a gentle companion, and toast to memories etched in limestone and starlight.
