Yangtze Cruise Tips from Echo

The "best" depends on what you are more concerned about, weather or price. To most visitors,the best best time for natural scenery should be the Spring and Autumn, namely, April to June and September to November when the weather is cool and comfortable, neither cold nor hot. For the biggest discount, winter period, usually December to the next January or early February are top reccommended. Also, July to August for summer vacation also offer some discounts for families with student children.

There are different cruise lines to cater different customer demands. Cruise between Chongqing and Yichang is the most classic and golden route to appreciate the famous Three Gorges view. Besides, if interested in discovering more nature, culture, history and economy in cities along the Yangtze, cruising between Shanghai and Chongqing, Shanghai and Wuhan, Chongqing and Wuhan, etc. are recommended for special savory. (note: cruise routes are changed every year.)

Upstream means sailing from lower part of river to the up to the higher part of the river. It usually takes one more day and spares more time onboard for leisure activities, lectures, etc. Downstream mean sailing from higher part of the river to the lower part of the river. There is enough time to enjoy the shore excursions because all scenic sites are arranged in the daytime. Besides, upstream cruise prices may be a little higher than that of the downstream cruise for some companies.

You cruise vacation duration usually is about 4 to 5 days for the Chongqing Yichang sailing route, which is decided by the ship and itinerary you have chosen and booked. For the longer Chongqing Shanghai cruise route, it usually needs 11 to 15 days for different ships.

Yangtze River Cruise - including Century Oasis / Century Victory / Century Glory (same sister ships), Victoria Sabrina, Yangtze Gold 8, Yangtze 3 cruise and Yangtze Explorer. Book now with great discount!

    Dear Echo Gou.

    It is a surprise and a delight to get your message and advice regarding Covid 19.

    Cathy and I are being very careful and following the advice of our Government who are doing an excellent job for the people. We follow world news also. 

    Please thank your colleagues for caring about us. PLEASE tell all the wonderful guides who cared for us 2 years ago in a most memorable holiday and adventure that we think about them and wish them well.

    Take care of yourself and each other.

    Kindest regards

    Thank you Echo,

    That is very kind and thoughtful sharing this advice with us in the UK.

    It also gives us some cause for optimism to hear how China is recovering after the worst of the epidemic.

    Sadly in the UK we are entering the most challenging period of escalation & virus spread but at least you kind advice gives us hope.

    Many thanks and I look forward to being in contact again in happier times.

    Echo, 

    thanks so much! This is a super-mindful message, and in times like these, it matters more than ever. 

    Here in Italy, we are holding up, and taking an example from you. It is inspiring to see how you managed to move forward, and I hope soon we'll be able to do the same. 

    Hope to have the chance to visit again sometime in the future. 

    All the best,

    Dear Ms. Echo,

    Firstly, we would like to say thank you so much for our tour and your work and quick respond. We are really appretiated. You was giving us prompt clear answers and was solving the problems strait away. Great job!

    Secondly, the tour all together was well organised and got to know many interesting knowleges about China. Especially our days and our guide Mark in Shanghai. Xian guide was also very good and helpful.

    The river cruise went well, only our juniour suit was not what we were expecting at all+location was extremely noisy.Boarging was also very stressfull, you know it. Rest of cruise program and special service and food in our VIP restaurant were perfect! As excuse bonus from your company - ugraded train tickets to business class.

    Despite the last negative comment,we like the trip and were enjoying it. We will highly recommend you and your company to our partners and friends.

    King regards,

    Tatsiana Weber / on behalf from my husband Karl and my cousine Jana.

    Dear Echo!

    Everything was very good, and we are very satisfied with our trip. I cannot think about anthing that could have been done better. Give my regards to all our guides and drivers. I really hope that I can give you more business. What is the best time to visit China if you want fairly good weather and avoid the top seasons?

    Med vennlig hilsen/best regards

    I keep meaning to email you to tell you we had a fabulous holiday in China - we saw so much and really loved it.

Everything went so smoothly and the drivers were all very good and courteous and looked after us and our luggage so well. We can’t thank you enough for organising our wonderful holiday and we will definitely tell our friends and family about you if they are visiting China.

    Dear Ms. Gou,

    My husband and I just want to say a BIG THANK YOU to you and all the details/organisations you put into our itinerary for our trip. Everything went very well, the 3 tour guides (Diane/Nancy & Melinda) you arranged to take us from airport to boat to train & to airport again were all very friendly & efficient and informative.

    Please pass on our appreciation and thanks to them & to your managers about what a good job you all did to make our trip so enjoyable and free of problems.

    Your help has been much appreciated.
