The Three Gorges cruise🛳️ was a shabby ship but it was great😊

The itinerary was for 2 nights and 3 days. The standard itinerary is 3 nights and 4 days, but
I booked a last-minute trip to prepare, so it didn't fit in with my schedule. There were budgetary constraints as well. 😇
💰Price per person:
Varies depending on the tour.
Ours was about 2,000 NTD per person, including additional fees.

Day 1: Tour from Chongqing Chaotianmen to Wanzhou Port 🚌
Day 2: Started the night before by cruising down the Yangtze River and visiting Baidicheng, etc.
Day 3: Started with the Three Gorges Dam shiplift and tour of the dam

😅As mentioned in reviews on Trip.com, the 2-night, 3-day itinerary was...
For some reason, we took a bus tour on the first day and boarded the boat at 9 PM.
And we arrived at the Three Gorges Dam around 11 PM on the second day.
☺️But the view from our balcony and the tour after disembarking
The Three Gorges Dam was truly amazing.
[Recommended Spots]
1. View of the Yangtze River from the boat
2. Sightseeing at places like Baidicheng after disembarking
3. Sightseeing the Three Gorges Dam from inside and outside
[Recommended Food]
If you're on a luxury boat, the food may be luxurious as well.
[Recommended Hotels]
Inside the boat
[Photogenic Spots]
1. You can take photos of two of the Three Gorges.
2. Sightseeing on a smaller boat offers a special view.
3. The Three Gorges Dam in general
[Other Points]
1. About disembarking sightseeing
It depends on the tour you take.
Burials called hanging coffins. There are still many mysteries surrounding how these things work. View materials at Baidicheng and then tour the area on a smaller boat.
2. About the boat rank
All the boats have names that sound like luxury ships, but the higher the number, the newer the boat. Ours was No. 1, so it was the oldest.
3. About the Price
This was probably the cheapest boat. Additional fees apply, so I'm not sure of the total price. I was also recommended a 3-night, 4-day boat, but the price would have been too high for that itinerary, so I decided against it.
I thought about booking through Trip.com, but there were many things I couldn't understand without speaking to them directly, so I ended up using a travel agency in Chongqing. The commissions charged by agencies varied, and some people felt bad.
Our agency was very reasonable. I'd love to ride a luxury cruise ship someday. See you someday! 😊😊😊
