Boarding the ship at Maoping Port (Zigui, a suburb of Yichang, 17:30--20:30) in the evening allows our guests to settle in and become familiar with the amenities on offer while shedding the hustle and bustle of their travels. We give you a buffer to refresh and prepare for the next day’s sightseeing on the amazing Yangtze, the ancient pathway across China, spanning centuries of cultures and blending the best of the old and the modern. Note: We can provide the private car from Yichang airport/train station/hotel to the Yichang Sanxia tourist center for you if you want, but pay extra charge.
