A Closer Look at Yangtze River

The Yangtze is China’s longest river and a natural route through the landscapes and history of the country’s centre. Cruises between Chongqing and Yichang pass through the Three Gorges, with excursions to riverside towns, temples and smaller tributaries. The journey combines changing scenery with an introduction to the communities, engineering projects and cultural sites that have developed along the river.
