Notes on purchasing tickets:

1. Tickets can be purchased one day in advance in the off-season, and a few days in advance in the peak season is better.

2. You can choose online. There are two options, go by boat and drive back, or go by car and boat back. Of course, you can also arrange a boat trip by yourself, but you will see the same Yangtze River and the same scenery. The only difference is that you can experience the rising tide raising the boat and the falling water lowering the boat.

In Yichang, both departure points are the same, but the departure and return times are different. The meeting time for the boat to the car and back is 7:30 in the morning (this time also depends on whether it is arranged on the official website or if you sign up for a group). You will arrive at the meeting point and be taken on the boat by different tour guides (this is true even if you purchase tickets on the official website). During the itinerary, the tour guide will arrange lunch at noon, and the ticket includes lunch.

3. After the tour guides gather, the explanations on the Three Gorges boat will be unified, and the tour guides will not give separate explanations. When we refer to the Three Gorges Dam, it is explained by the tour guide. If you follow the tour guide closely, you can learn a lot of knowledge. There is an additional paid electric sightseeing car at the Three Gorges Dam.
