Questions & Answers on Chongqing Pictures

Asked by Norbert Rinsche from GERMANY | Jan. 11, 2017 10:19

Passenger ferries between chongqing and wuhan, schedule, prices, companies?

To avoid cruise offers I want to travel between those places one way at lowest possible coast. Do you have any detailed information about duration, cost and booking agencies or direct operators? I plan to do the trip in march either starting in Wuhan or CQ in a weeks time, is that possible? Are interruptions (so called open tour) on the way possible? Which sections are the the best (not to miss) in your opinion?
Thank you

Dear Norbert,

Thanks for your question! There is no passenger ferry between CQ and Wuhan nowadays. Cruises are available between CQ and Yichang. There are many stops along the way, so that you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Yangtze River. It usually takes 4 or 5 days. Different cruises have different prices. We can book the service for you. For detailed information, please contact us through tours
