F O R R E S E R V A T I O N S C A L L U S O N 0845 130 6982 China 88 Rivers, Gorges & Pandas 9 days London to London Days 1 & 2. Yichang [D (Day 2 only)] Depart London on the overnight flight to Beijing and a commuting service to the middle reaches of the Yangtze River where you will be met and taken to a 5-star Yangtze River Boat, for four nights cruising up the Yangtze River through the spectacular and remote Three Gorges region. Days 3 to 5. Cruising [B, L, D] Pass through the east part of Xiling Gorge. Take a shore excursion to view the Three Gorges Dam. Learn at first hand about the environmental and social implications before passing through the five stage ship lock. Gaze up at the towering sides of the Xiling Gorge and disembark to take a boat trip up the Shennong Stream in traditional wooden boats poled by the local tribes people. Numerous birds and monkeys live amongst the cracks in vertical rock faces and mysterious hanging coffins rest in niches far above. Continue upstream and sail through the Wu and the Qutang gorges. The river is the major transport route through the mountains and watching the numerous barges and ferries passing in the turbulent waters is an experience in itself. Various talks and demonstrations on Chinese culture, nature and history will be given throughout the cruise, but you may prefer to simply sit on deck and watch the scenery, towns and villages pass by.
