Before your Yangtze River Cruise Tour, choosing the cities to arrive and depart makes much easier for your next destination trip. As the cities along Yangtze River are Chongqing, Yichang, Wuhan and Shanghai, here I’ve connected the Yangtze River Transportations of those cities about flights and trains.
Chongqing:
Jiangbei International Airport is 20 km away from Chongqing downtown. You can easily arrive in Chongqing by flights from Beijing, Xi’an, Shanghai, Guilin, HK and more about 70 air routes. Chongqing Railway Station runs train lines to/from Beijing, Xian, Shanghai, Kunming, etc.
Chengdu-Chongqing: The daily bullet trains (D trains) only take about two hours from Chengdu to Chongqing North Railway Station.
Yichang:
26 km away from Yichang downtown and 55 km away from Three Gorges Dam site, Yichang Sanxia Airport is a small airport which has a few flights to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chongqing and Chengdu. Flights to Wuhan operate daily. There is also an expressway between Yichang and Wuhan, which is about 4 hours’ drive.
There are also high speed trains (D-trains) from Yichang to Wuhan (within 2 hours), Wuchang, Hankou, Nanjing, and Shanghai every day.
Wuhan:
The best way to get to/ arrive in Wuhan is take bullet trains, which are available between Wuhan, Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, where you have happened to depart. On Yangtze Cruise, Century Diamond will take you explore this amazing views.
Shanghai:
As a big city, Shanghai shares convenient transportation connecting many cities in China and many major cities abroad for hundreds of domestic and international flights. Victoria Sophia-the only ship sailing between Chongqing and Shanghai accompanies you in this 9-day and 8 nights, should never disappoint you to travel far away here.
