Some Changes on the Cruise Route.
The next phase of the Three Gorges Dam project will commence construction on the 10 September 2006 and continue until the 30th June 2007, a period of 10 months.
During this time Yangtze River cruise ships will berth at Peace dock about 33 kilometres from downtown Yichang. Passengers will disembark and take an excursion to the Three Georges dam site providing an excellent opportunity to get a close look at this huge construction project. After the excursion, passengers will be transferred in a coach operated by the ship company to the hotel in Yichang or to continue as per the tour itinerary. Passengers on the upstream cruise will also board at peace dock to start their amazing cruise. The Shanghai-Chongqing & Chongqing-Shanghai cruise lines won't be affected by the Three Gorges Dam project.
