It was a very pleasant trip. The scenery was amazing. The tour guide Xiao He's service was particularly good. He communicated with us one day in advance. He was afraid that it would rain the next day. He didn't rest until after 11 o'clock in the evening. He reminded us to bring rain gear. Sure enough, we used it at noon the next day 😂. The itinerary was very good. The car going to the boat and returning to the boat avoided the high temperature and the crowds. Xiao He's explanation was also very good. We learned about the construction process of the Three Gorges Dam project in all aspects. The lunch box at noon was standard, and each person had one clean and hygienic. The afternoon boat tour was like walking through a landscape painting. The water level dropped when the boat was lowered at the Gezhouba No. 3 ship lock. We upgraded to the VIP on the fourth floor, where we could enjoy the air conditioning and take photos on the exclusive deck. It was an unforgettable trip.
My friends and I spontaneously decided to go to Yichang and were blown away by the "Two Dams and One Gorge" itinerary!!!
The entire trip was packed with highlights, the photo ops were incredibly photogenic, and the cruise was so comfortable I didn't want to disembark! Sharing my real-life experience for those who want to go.
✨Trip Highlights:
Gezhouba's "Rising Water": The cruise ship slowly entered the locks. After the gates closed, the water level rose, and the ship was "lifted" up like an elevator. It was breathtaking! Standing on the deck, I filmed videos with the giant locks and blue sky in the background—a truly technological experience!
The stunning scenery of Xiling Gorge: As the cruise ship weaved through the canyon, the emerald waters and the cascading mountains on both sides felt like stepping into a landscape painting! I captured so many life-changing photos.
Three Gorges Dam Panoramic Views: From Tanziling, we overlooked the dam. From Platform 185, we admired the magnificent "high gorge and flat lake." The diversion memorial park had a cool industrial feel. Three angles offered stunning photos with different styles. Photo Tips:
Cruise ship deck: Lean against the railing and capture the river breeze blowing your hair – the atmosphere is incredible!
Gezhouba Ship Locks: Record a time-lapse video of the rising water level.
Xiling Gorge Entrance: With the gorge as your backdrop, use a wide-angle lens to capture the sense of depth, creating a feeling of "swimming in a painting."
In short, a full day of fun isn't exhausting at all. Sit in a cruise ship booth, sip coffee, and take in the scenery while taking in photos – it's so comfortable and relaxing!

The scenic area is small and a bit commercialized. The boat ride to and from the Three Gorges offers pleasant views. The elevators inside the scenic area are a rip-off, costing 30 yuan for three small elevators. The five elevators in the Three Gorges Dam are all free. The performance square was very crowded, so I only watched from the outside platform. Longjin Creek is a great place to play in the water, refreshing and cooling. Bring your own slippers if you want to play in the water; slippers inside are 30 yuan a pair.
Very good scenic spot. The scenery is beautiful, the mountains are green and the water is clear. The staff are very nice. I lost my child at the crying wedding. The child's phone was out of battery again. The staff immediately notified the staff to look for it together. We found it quickly. Thumbs up

It was so hot🥵, overall it was okay, the same price as the official price, no discount. I spent 65/person on the way (I understand the tour guide), so be careful when choosing if you have elderly people or small children in hot weather.
Climb up Tanziling to overlook the panoramic view of the dam, and truly experience the grandeur of "high gorge and flat lake"! Through the sand table model and the guide's explanation, you can deeply understand the wisdom and hardship of this world-class project, and patriotic feelings will be ignited instantly. It is suitable for bringing elders and children to experience.

The scenes are stunning, the images are beautiful, and the sense of presence is strong. It gives you a deep understanding of the Three Gorges culture, including Dayu's flood control, Qu Yuan's unyielding spirit, the bloody Battle of Changban, and Zhaojun's journey to the frontier. It's full of historical authenticity and a sense of reality! The design is also very unique!!!
The Eternal Romance of the Three Gorges is great. My relatives came over and it rained the past two days. We spent 3 hours at the museum and then continued to play the Eternal Romance of the Three Gorges until the evening. It has many unique features and the performances are also very exciting! ~

Qu Yuan's hometown is still worth a visit. In the hot summer, I was fortunate to have the guide Xiao Wu from the scenic area to introduce it. He was very professional. The cultural landscape needs to be introduced by the tour guide.
After entering the scenic area, you can walk a few hundred meters to the square. I personally think it is not necessary to take a sightseeing bus!
There are not many people on weekdays, and the sun is relatively hot. After entering, you go to the top and contribute 10 yuan to Qu Gong for orchids. There will be a small ceremony, planting orchids, and then contributing, three bows!
We are in a hurry, so we left without seeing anything else!
Opposite the square is the back of the Three Gorges Dam! It's quite spectacular!

This is a great place to escape the summer heat. At over 1,300 meters above sea level, the temperature at the foot of the mountain is 38 degrees Celsius, while atop it's only 30 degrees Celsius at noon and 20 degrees Celsius at night—very cool. The sun doesn't burn you, so wear sunscreen. If you drive to the north gate, parking is free. The scenic shuttle bus is very convenient and you can take it anywhere, stopping at your destination. Unlike some tourist attractions, where you have to transfer to an electric bus twice after taking the shuttle bus, this one goes all the way to the destination. The glass skywalk and the roller coaster are perfect for young children, but there's no package deal for the glass slide, so I didn't try it. Grass skiing is a downhill ride on a small slide, not on real grass. The deer in the deer park are also adorable, with free-range baby deer. The horseback riding at the stables was okay, and the horses were very docile. Food and drinks are a bit pricey, typical for tourist attractions. The Hawthorn Tree Love is just average; it's just a quick stop, so don't expect too much. This is primarily a summer getaway and a relaxing getaway.
The service was fantastic, and the attitude was excellent. I'll be back next time! The service was fantastic, and the attitude was excellent. I'll be back next time!

On July 29, I drove to the end of Chaotianhou. After verification in the lobby, I received shoes and changed clothes and took a 10-yuan bus to the starting point. There were not too many people, not too many people, and the queue was right. It was really nice. The sun was huge and hot, but after I started drifting, I didn't feel the sun was so strong. The water was a little cold. I hope to get more sun on the way. The overall experience was very good. I will play again next time if I have the chance.
The flowers are in full bloom, and the breeze blows gently, the branches sway gracefully, and the rich fragrance fills the air. At this time, wearing elegant Hanfu and strolling in Chaotianhou Flower Creek, the delicate flowers complement each other, and every step is a scene, as if traveling through thousands of years. Every blooming flower is a gift from time, and every press of the shutter is a beautiful freeze frame. In this world where flowers and Hanfu are intertwined, use the camera to capture every frame of poetic pictures, leaving behind a romantic memory unique to this spring day.

No reservation is required, you can enter directly by swiping your ID card. It was a good tour along the way. I learned some knowledge about the Three Gorges Project. There were not many people and the experience was very good!
I took a quick look for more than an hour. The parking fee was 3 yuan per hour, which was very cheap. The car was parked in the underground garage. There was a staircase going up to the main entrance, which was very convenient!
Just entered the Three Gorges Migration Museum, was shocked, Yichang has an underwater museum! The whole museum is not big, but the underwater immigration building is really shocking. It is the museum that displays the immigrant culture and the Gorge River culture that many people used to be home. The exhibition is arranged in the pre-relocation, middle and post-relocation stages, rich historical objects and data pictures, with realistic scene restoration and multimedia display, vividly reproduce the migration process of the Three Gorges. Giant reliefs and group bronze statues highlight the spirit of immigrants. Walking through the exhibition area, I deeply feel the selflessness of their small family for everyone, and also see the vigorous strength of the reconstruction of the reservoir area, which is not only a memory of history, but also an inspiration for the future!

The whole rafting process was very exciting. Fortunately, we chose a leaky boat and didn't need to scoop water. Otherwise, it would be very cold to sit in the water the whole time. Sun protection measures must be taken. The skin exposed outside was sunburned when I came back.
Jiuwan Creek rafting, natural scenery, rapids, waves! Men's laughter, women's screams! Gentle water belt, children can play with water guns, laughter all the way, very happy! But there are too few changing and shower rooms, and the waiting time is too long! ! ! !

The scenery along the coast is super beautiful, especially the light show at night. I kept taking photos and videos. The interior of the boat is luxurious and comfortable, and there are dance performances. I was so excited when I entered the Gezhouba area and waited for the sluice gates to be closed and opened. As the water level rose, the boat was rising. It was a really good travel experience
