Beautiful scenery, relaxing trip
This is a delightful way to see stunning gorges and a lovely river. We sailed from the Three Gorges Dam which is stunning in itself to Chong Ching, it was hot but the scenery and sites at various stops were lovely. The boated aren’t the latest in luxury but the care and politeness of the staff cannot be faulted. They also provide the evening cabarets ‘Chinese style’ of course. Food is traditional, good and plentiful, buffet style. This is a trip of a lifetime and we loved it and found it very good value for money too. Overall the care of the Chinese people cannot be faulted. When in Chong Ching visit the zoo and the many pandas.

Better things to do and see than cruise the Yangtze
Cruising China's Yangtze River might have been a spectacular experience before the Three Gorges Dam project, but overall it's a relatively humdrum experience now. We sailed the President I booked through ChinaSpree, an excellent tour provider, and the boat and its crew provideded excellent service and wonderful meals in comfortable, immaculately clean surroundings (although the boat did show its age -- a bit scruffy at the edges). The first day's scenery is impressive, beautiful; thereafter, it's much like any river journey except for occasional scenes of village children playing in the shallows or farmers going about their chores. Daily excursions, one or two optional, are informative and interesting, but if you've only got one to three weeks in China, there are infinitely more rewarding sites and experiences such as day cruises on the infinitely more beautiful River Li, Hong Kong and other options you'll miss by choosing a river cruise. There is, however, another consideration: Most China tours are designed as learning experiences, not relaxation. There's a lot of walking and talking, so much to see and experience on long days and evenings jammed with activity that even the physically fit experience fatigue. The river cruise is a chance to rest and relax. But who wants to rest? Awesome is a horribly misused word, but it's the only adequate description for China in scope, beauty, artistry, culture. Time on the Yangtze is costly -- not worth the price in money or options missed.
