We arrived in Yichang in the morning and were straight transferred to our five star cruise boat Princess Jeannie. Here we got the choice between having lunch or going on an excursion to see the Three Gorges Dam from various viewing points. In the late afternoon we passed through the ship lock to reach the upper Yangtze river.
In the morning of the second day of our cruise along the Yangtze an excursion to see the Shen Nong river small gorges was offered. At first we transferred to a ferry to then switch to traditional wooden flat boats for a more intimate experience in the small gorges. In the afternoon if was back to the big gorges – we passed through Wu and Qutang Gorge.
