Chongqing and Chongqing Yangtz

Chongqing and Chongqing Yangtze River Three Gorges have always been my favorite destinations, and this time I chose to take the Star Athena cruise ship. The cruise ship is new and exquisite, double-label balcony room is spacious enough, floor-to-ceiling windows look out a river view, comfortable to not want to get out of bed - the most attractive highlight of the whole trip, is definitely you can enjoy the magnificent view of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River at once.
