Most of the meals in the Three Gorges are eaten on board. On a five-star cruise ship, Sichuan and Hubei have everything delicious, but the food on board is naturally not very cheap. If you really want to know about the diet of the Three Gorges, you should get off the boat, walk to the farmer's market and sit down to eat some local special snacks, including dishes made with fish and shrimp and local delicacies, and some simpler dishes. The delicacies of the Three Gorges are not only delicious, but also many of them are famous historical dishes: Cao Cao once hosted a radish banquet for the soldiers of the three armed forces and the beautiful story of "Zhang Fei Fish" which has been circulated for thousands of years. Taohua Fish in Zhaojun is still a traditional dish in spring ... In short, the Three Gorges cuisine has both the advantages that Sichuan cuisine is good at using spicy food and hubei cuisine is good at cooking fish and steamed vegetables. The most pleasant way to stay and visit the Three Gorges is to take a cruise, enjoy the river view and go ashore for sightseeing at each scenic spot, which not only saves the pain of changing hotels every day, but also enjoys different scenery outside the window every day. Because of the different grades and cabins of cruise ships, there will be great differences in software and hardware facilities and prices. Some luxury cruise ships, such as Victoria series, Yangtze series, ambassador series, etc. They are all like mobile luxury hotels on the water, with facilities comparable to star-rated hotels, comfortable and convenient, not much different from life on land, and of course the price is high. The whole journey (Chongqing-Yichang section, 3 days) costs 2-3 thousand yuan (the middle price of the standard room), including meals and tickets for scenic spots. Ordinary cruise ships have different facilities and prices due to different cabins, excluding meals on board.
