Since the official resumption of the Three Gorges Cruise, many customers have consulted us through different channels on many issues related to the Three Gorges Cruise. Many people struggle with the difference in the itinerary of loading and unloading the water. Today, I will give you an in-depth analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of water supply.
Sheung Shui?
Shangshui usually refers to the navigation of a ship going upstream, facing the direction of the incoming water of the river, from the downstream to the downstream. In the Three Gorges cruise, the itinerary from Yichang to Chongqing is usually called Shangshui.

Sewage?
Launching usually refers to the navigation of a ship down the river, along the direction of the river, from upstream to downstream. In the Three Gorges cruise, the trip from Chongqing to Yichang, Wuhan and even further afield Jiujiang, Nanjing and Shanghai is usually called launching.
Chongqing Chaotianmen Wharf
Generally speaking, the Three Gorges luxury cruise ship has a sailing itinerary of 5 days and 4 nights, boarding at Zigui Wharf in the evening of the first day, and arriving in Chongqing on the morning of the fifth day. The launching itinerary is 4 days and 3 nights, the first day is to board the ship at Chaotianmen Wharf in the evening (in case of flood season or other shipping department control, you need to board the ship in Fuling/Fengdu/Wanzhou), and the fourth day to leave the ship to visit the Three Gorges Dam and end the trip.

How to choose?
How tourists choose the itinerary of getting on and off the water, I suggest considering and choosing from the following points.
1 Price
The Three Gorges cruise requires an extra night of accommodation on the boat compared to the launching trip, so the price will be slightly higher than the launching trip. If you are concerned about the price, it will be relatively cost-effective to choose the trip to the water. If you want to experience the service on the boat for an extra night, choose the water tour.

2 Time
A planned journey will set the time node of each experience project, and choose the itinerary of getting on or off the water reasonably according to the time of the journey.

3 Continuity of the journey
Tourism is not an independent process, from Chongqing to the water can feel the magic of the 8D city in Chongqing, and then down the river, to Yichang, or to Shennongjia, Wudang Mountain, out of Xiangyang and then down the south to Wuhan, or north out of Henan to see the world of Zhongzhou. From Yichang Shangshui, you can experience Chongqing, go to Chengdu, or explore to the northwest, or enter Tibet along 318.
