Nice peaceful excursion during our river cruise
I took this optional excursion through a Gate1 tour package on the Century Sun Yangtze river cruise. Luckily our group had its own boat. Our local guide "Lisa" was very friendly and knowledgeable. She sang songs for us, told us some history of the area, and what modern day life is like. Near the end of the ride, she did try to sell some books, tea, and carved animals, but we never felt pressured to buy anything. The quiet boat was nice enough with several wooden benches and a small back deck. Luckily we had a covered roof since it was drizzling/raining the day we went. Even with the rain, this blue-green stream was beautiful. It is surrounded by giant cliffs and mountains. We got to see several cave and cliff coffins. I would definitely recommend this excursion if it is offered.

Breathtaking Scenery aka Lesser 3 Gorges Area
During our Century river boat cruise on the Yangtze they stopped so we could take this excursion on smaller boats up an unbelievably scenic gorge. Pictures cannot do justice to what the eye beholds - towering slopes on either side going up many hundreds of meters. In the top 10 scenic places I have ever visited in my worldwide travels. Do not miss it if you take the Yangtze cruise.

Wonderful scenery with a friendly knowledgeable local guide
This was one of the daily tours offered by the Century Diamond on our cruise down the Yangtze River. We disembarked the ship and went in groups of 25 onto smaller river boats. Our local guide was very informative explaining the history of the area and the people who live there as well as local customs followed today. She sang some songs for us and her pleasant voice reverberated off the towering mountainside. The scenery was beautiful - towering cliffs rising almost vertically from the water on both sides of the boat, lush green vegetation and interesting rock faces. Unfortunately, we came a day after a very heavy rainfall and so there was a lot of floating debris at the end of the small gorge (including a large dead pig) that was washed down the cliffs by the rain. The guide mentioned that a clean-up boat does a daily round to keep the waters clear. This was a great addition to our cruise on the Yangtze.
