Top Reasons to Choose A Yangtze Cruise
Taking a Yangtze cruise is a popular way to discover China. There is an old saying: "on a slow boat to China". Well, why not relax on a slow boat in China, on the beautiful Yangtze River. A Yangtze River Cruise will take you through the center of China, while giving you the opportunity to see some of the most spectacular scenery imaginable. Here are the top reasons to choose a Yangtze cruise:
The Yangtze cruise ships offered by China Highlights are all rated at four stars asnd above, which will ensure you a safe and well-catered-for trip.
Yangtze cruise ships travel slowly for passengers to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Broadcasts from the ship’s PA system, transmitting information on shore excursions or from guest lecturers to your cabin, ensure that you will not miss a chance to see any special scenery; even if you are relaxing in your cabin. The most impressive section of the river is the Three Gorges (Sanxia) area, comprising: Qutang Gorge, Wuxia Gorge and Xiling Gorge. The gorges of this mighty river climb hundreds of meters (thousands of feet) on both sides, and it is truly breathtaking to witness.
There are several impressive guided shore excursions on offer during a Yangtze cruise (one or two shore excursions a day), including such classic attractions as the Three Gorges Dam, Daning River’s Lesser Three Gorges, and Fengdu Ghost City.
Enjoy the sunrise, sunset and starry nights on a sun deck while drinking a cup of wine or coffee. That is the life!
Sailing aboard a fine hotel, there is no traffic congestion or the many other hassles of traveling by bus or train. You have more free time to enjoy yourself in your own way. According to your preference you could: Learn Tai Chi or practice Yoga on the sun deck accompanied with the pleasant river breeze, drink a cup of coffee on your private balcony, chat at a wine party, make friends with people from different parts of the world, play cards in the card room, watch TV in you cabin or just have a sweet nap to refresh yourself.
There is a great variety of dishes served on Yangtze cruise ships, both Chinese and Western food. You can choose according to your tastes.
The entertainment varies from ship to ship. Staff shows displaying costumes from different Chinese dynasties and ethnic groups, the various customs for marrying in different parts of China and representative scenes from famous classical Chinese novels are popular with passengers.
Depending on the ship, there are lectures about Chinese Tea, Jade, pearl, Chinese paintings and Chinese language classes. You have many chances to learn about Chinese culture and the Chinese language.
