Does the rainstorm affect the Three Gorges tourism?

Heavy rain has a great influence on the tourism of the Three Gorges.

Common sense of three Gorges tourism

1, Three Gorges (Qutang Gorge, Wuxia Gorge, Xiling Gorge) and its scenic spots (such as goddess peak) are all watched on board, and tickets are not needed. But the viewing position is very important, so pay attention to the broadcast on board or the advice of the service personnel.

2. Some scenic spots need to be disembarked for sightseeing, including Fengdu Ghost Town, Zhangfei Temple, Shi Baozhai, Little Three Gorges, Baidicheng, Quyuan Temple, Shenlongxi, Three Gorges Dam, Yueyang Tower and Jingzhou Ancient City. (Different cruise ships and sightseeing spots are different). Every time you go to a scenic spot, you need to listen to the advice of the ship's radio and tour guide, remember the dock where the cruise ship stops and the sailing time of the cruise ship, and be sure to return to the cruise ship before sailing, remember.

You need to pay attention to the personal safety and property safety on board. When sailing in the river, you should pay great attention to the accident of falling into the water, especially the children. Please take cash and valuables (such as a camera) with you when you leave the room (dining in a restaurant or sightseeing on the shore), and lock the door at the same time. There are often thieves on board, and even thieves may collude with the staff on board to commit crimes.

4. You can go to Fengdu Ghost Town by cableway or not. You need to decide according to your own situation, and you don't have to blindly follow the advice of others or waiters.

Almost all the scenic spots on the shore need to go uphill and up the steps, so you need to wear light shoes.

6. The wind and rain in the Three Gorges are unpredictable, and rain gear is one of the necessary items.

7. When sightseeing on the boat, due to the strong river wind, thin sweaters or coats should be prepared in spring and autumn; When the river is cold in winter, prepare heavy clothes, such as down jackets; Summer is ok, but you'd better prepare sunglasses and sunscreen.

8.

Tourism knowledge of luxury cruise ships in Three Gorges

First, the preparation before departure

Clothing according to their own situation, mainly casual and loose clothing; Because it takes a long walk to visit the shore, I suggest you prepare leisure shoes.

Summer: In the Three Gorges area, the summer temperature is high and the sunshine time is long. It is best to prepare hats, sunglasses, sunscreen and other items.

Spring and autumn: prepare sweaters, coats and rainproof and hooded windbreakers.

Winter: It is quite cold outside when sailing, so you should prepare rain-proof coats and winter clothes.

The ticket or "boarding notice" (copy or fax is acceptable) is your boarding certificate. It's like staying in a hotel.

Insurance: You are advised to go through all travel insurance procedures before departure. Although the air ticket includes insurance, the amount is limited.

Some cruise ships only charge for medicine, not for visiting. Don't buy food, fruit and mineral water from the stalls. When you go ashore in summer, you must take the mineral water and paper towels you bought on board, with a small amount of RMB, preferably 10 yuan, and the amount is between 100-500 yuan, so as to prepare for the sporadic expenses of landing, such as cable cars, cold supplies, special visit tickets, tips, etc.

Usually, the salary of waiters is not very high, 30-70 dollars/month, and tipping is also very popular.

Five, the climate temperature of the Three Gorges

The Three Gorges region belongs to the warm and humid tropical climate in Central Asia, and the climate is greatly influenced by the canyon topography. Among them, the deep gorge of Wuxia gorge is long and tortuous, showing typical canyon climate characteristics, which can be regarded as the representative of the climate of the Three Gorges. The annual average temperature here is 18.4℃, the coldest month average temperature is 1℃, and the hottest month average temperature is 29.3℃ in July. The average annual rainfall is between 1000- 1400 mm, mostly in July and August. The winter is mild, the summer is hot, the rainfall is abundant, and the four seasons are distinct, which is not much different from the Sichuan Basin and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. However, because the canyon is deep, the valley bottom receives sunlight for a short time. You can only see two or three hours of sunshine around noon in winter and only five or six hours in summer. The wind in the canyon is strong and the wind direction is fixed, mostly east wind or west wind along the gorge. The canyon is closed and humid, and it is easy to form clouds. In summer, it often thunders and thunders, and it rains cats and dogs. It is one of the rainstorm centers in China. Autumn is crisp, the clouds are light and the sky is high; There are many "foggy gorge rains" in winter, which often last for several days; At the turn of spring and summer, the weather is changeable, and "rain at dusk" is another scenery.

The Three Gorges River is narrow, the river flow changes greatly, and the water level fluctuates greatly. In flood season, the flow rate is generally 40,000 to 80,000 cubic meters per second, and in dry season, the flow rate is generally 3,000 cubic meters per second, and the difference between the highest water level and the lowest water level can reach more than 50 meters. During the flood, the river rose rapidly, and the water level often rose by more than 10 meter in one day. The riverbed slope is relatively large, with an average drop of 5 km 1 m. The water is surging and the vortex turns over a thousand times. The flow rate also varies greatly. The average flow velocity is 4 kilometers per hour in dry season, 65,438+065,438+0 kilometers per hour in flood season and 65,438+06 to 25 kilometers per hour in rapids and shoals. During the rainy season in summer, choppy rivers flow out of winding canyons and pour thousands of miles. In the dry season, the river twists and turns, echoing in the ravine, and the navigation channel of the Three Gorges is particularly difficult.
