Only when seen with my own eyes did I truly understand the beauty of the Three Gorges as depicted by Li Bai

Only when seen with my own eyes did I truly understand the beauty of the Three Gorges as depicted by Li Bai "At dawn I left the White Emperor crowned with rainbow clouds; To reach Jiangling in one day's sailing through a thousand leagues" Majestic mountains cradle goddesses, while ancient stories flow within these waters From the melancholic verses of Qu Yuan to the grandeur of the Three Gorges in Li Bai's eyes—this is more than just a river It's a slowly unfolding epic of China's landscapes. Now, all you need is to board the @Century Cruises ship For a gentle five-day, four-night rendezvous with these breathtaking mountains and waters [Yichang-Chongqing 5D4N Itinerary] Day 1: Afternoon boarding, buffet dinner, and ship safety briefing Day 2: Shore excursion to Three Gorges Project Museum, sail through Xiling Gorge, attend Captain's Welcome Cocktail in afternoon, visit Wuyuan Cave at dusk Day 3: Boat ride on Goddess Stream, sail through Wu Gorge and Qutang Gorge, visit Three Gorges Summit Day 4: Shore excursion to Fengdu Ghost City, passenger talent show Day 5: Morning arrival at Chongqing Chaotianmen, disembark 🚢 Highlights Along the Way ✅ Three Gorges Project Museum Not just an exhibition hall, but a window to understand "the world's greatest hydropower project."
