Yangtze River Cruise

The Yangtze River is one of the most interesting rivers in the world. It is blessed with a richness of natural/manmade scenery and cultural relics such as the Three Gorges Dam, Gemstone Stronghold, and Shennong Stream. A Yangtze River cruise will give you the opportunity to see some of the most spectacular scenery imaginable.

Taking a Yangtze cruise is a popular way to discover China. It can slow your pace and relax your mind with a leisurely journey, letting you take in picturesque gorges from a deck chair or personal balcony. Every year, millions of travelers have come to China to enjoy this fantastic experience.
