Effects on Yangtze River Cruise
2. Afterwards, all passengers will board another same level cruise ship to continue sailing as scheduled.
3. The beautiful scenery of Wu Gorge and Qutang Gorge will be missed. The side cruise to Three Little Gorges will also be replaced by Shennong Stream or Shennv Stream.
What can still be seen along the cruise route?
Three Gorges Dam: Reputed as the world's largest man-made hydropower project, the dam is rather spectacular but controversial as well. Some people say its construction has damaged local ecosystem while others say it brings great convenience for Yangtze River navigation and provides lots electricity for daily use. Maybe by visiting it, you can give your own opinions.
A Side Cruise to Shennong Stream |
Shennv Stream: This section is famous for primary natural scenery, which used to be seen by only a few photographers and adventurers before. It was unveiled to tourists not very long ago.
