8 Days Yangtze River Cruise Extention
 

Includes: Shanghai, Yichang, Chongqing & Suzhou

China's longest river, Yangtze River or Chang Jiang in Chinese, is also its best-known geographical phenomenon, inspiring a combination of pride, awe and sadness. Its 6,300kms (4,000 miles) length begins in the west of Qinghai and winds its way through eight provinces in central China before flowing into the East China Sea near Shanghai.

This tour focuses on the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. Fly from Shanghai to Yichang to board the deluxe cruise ship East Queen. The 4-day Yangtze River cruise allows you to enjoy the dramatic Three Gorges scenery and the magnificent river culture to their fullest. It includes daily stops on the way upstream and downstream. The boat returns to Yichang on 4th day.

Explore and enjoy the wonderful Shanghai, China's most populous city and economic powerhouse. The European Bund still retains the glamour of the city's colonial era; modern western pubs, bars, and boutiques scatter all around the center of Shanghai. Visit the traditional Yuyuan Garden and Jade Buddha Temple, and also spend some time exploring Shanghai Museum, the best in China.
