Family Trip to the Three Gorges|3 Days 2 Nights by Public Boat, Take the Kids on the Poet Li Bai’s Route!​​

Traveling the Three Gorges with kids can be poetic and budget-friendly, just like Li Bai taking a public boat! Many friends asked about family details after the previous Three Gorges vlog, so today I’ve reorganized the guide for parents to copy directly~ 📍Route: Chongqing → Fengjie → Qutang Gorge → Wushan → Wu Gorge → Badong → Xiling Gorge → Three Gorges Dam → Yichang, 3 days 2 nights 🚂Day 1: Chongqing — Fengjie High-speed train from Chongqing North → Fengjie (2 hours), best to arrive before 11 AM ✅Family activities: 🔸Baidi City: The Orphanage Hall tells Three Kingdoms stories|Find the “Kuimen” on the 10 yuan bill|See the picturesque river between two mountains 🔸Summit of the Three Gorges: Take the kids to the top to overlook Qutang Gorge, an 8 km canyon that’s breathtaking! It’s recommended to take a taxi to the Summit of the Three Gorges after Baidi City; hiking takes a long time, so don’t try it with small kids 🚤Little Red Boat Pier: Search directly for “Fengjie Little Red Boat Pier” 🏠Accommodation: Riverside homestay with views of Kuimen, or choose a chain hotel for more convenience 🛥️Day 2: Fengjie — Wushan ✅Family recommendations: Yangtze River Little Red Boat (Fengjie → Wushan|40 RMB/person) Schedule: 8:00 / 13:20, buy tickets on board, go early to grab window seats! Features: 360° deck views of the river|Stops at wild piers, very interesting|Watch the captain use binoculars to “pick up passengers” ⛰️Little Three Gorges: The Little Red Boat arrives in Wushan at 11:30, catch the 14:00 Little Three Gorges cruise 🐟Food: Wushan paper-wrapped fish is super tasty! 🛌Accommodation: Stay near the pier to avoid rushing for the 7 AM boat the next day 🚢Day 3: Wushan — Yichang, passing through Wu Gorge + Xiling Gorge Gao Gorge Pinghu No.5, 299 RMB/person, usually departs at 7:00 AM every other day (6 hours to Yichang) 💳Booking: Search “Gao Gorge Pinghu No.5” to book in advance, sometimes cheaper offline 🏞️Three Gorges Dam: The boat stops at Taipingxi Pier, 10 minutes by taxi to the visitor center, then directly to Yichang after the visit ✨Family tips: ▪️Mountain city piers have many stairs, light luggage saves effort ▪️November’s red leaves 🍁 + clear river water make the Three Gorges the most beautiful season! ▪️Gao Gorge Pinghu No.5 first floor and deck are free, upper floors charge optional~
