      TravelerWritten December 2024

      When you say a short time, do you mean that we will spend some time that I can actually explore the city and take some photos or are we just transferring to the cruise and have no time for anything else?

    • GlobusOperatorWritten December 2024

      You will take the high-speed train to Chongqing, China's capital during World War II. Upon arrival, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant and visit the Three Gorges Museum. Enjoy some free time in the Ciqikou ancient town, also known as Little Chongqing before boarding your ship for a 3-night cruise through the breathtaking Three Gorges of the Yangtze.
