[2025 Yichang Attraction] Travel Guide for Yichang Three Gorges Tourist Resort (Updated May)

Sisters! Spent 3 days trekking through Yichang with my 6-year-old—the gorges were breathtaking, but the mishaps were soul-crushing! My kid had his lollipop snatched by monkeys at Three Gorges Tribe, and I face-planted into the mud at Longjin Stream... Here’s my tear-stained survival guide to save you buckets of sweat‼️ ♦️ **Action-Packed Itinerary (Copy This!)** **Day1⃣️**: Yichang downtown 👉 Scream-sprinting at Huangbaihe Pier 👉 Sob over bridal customs at Three Gorges Tribe 👉 Butt-slide at Longjin Stream 👉 Monkey brawl at Monkey Mountain **Day2⃣️**: Three Gorges Tourist Center 👉 Cruise gazing at cliffs 👉 Chasing rainbows on G348 Highway 👉 Collecting red leaves at Canal Park 👉 Spicy tears at CBD Night Market ✅ **Three Gorges Tribe & Longjin Stream** A real-life fairy tale! The stream was so cold my kid curled his toes into chicken claws 🐾. A Tujia bride’s embroidered ball bonked his head—he froze, then yelled, “I’ll marry her!” 👰 An old man rowed a bamboo raft, humming tunes, while my kiddo “caught rainbow fish” with an empty net... ✅ **G348 Highway** Road-trip heaven! Every turn screamed “WOW” 🌄. At Gangouzi Bridge, we snapped wild-west shots—my kid shouted, “Mom! Dinosaur footprints on the mountain!” Sunset at Lianhuopan Bridge turned his Ultraman toy gold ✨. ✅ **Canal Park** Autumn’s masterpiece! We played hide-and-seek in reeds and waded through knee-deep ginkgo leaves 🍂. My kid tossed leaves like “confetti,” declared himself “Autumn Prince,” and tried to haul 10 pounds of leaves back for his “coronation” (ahem... school exhibit). 💣 **Bloody Lessons Learned**: 1⃣️ **Hide snacks at Monkey Mountain**! Three monkeys mugged us for a lollipop—my kid wailed about tattling to Sun Wukong. 2⃣️ **Don’t cut it close for cruises**! Arrive 20 mins early, or you’ll gawk like a stranded duck 🦆 as the ship sails off. 3⃣️ **Radish dumplings = spice grenades**! One bite had my kid chugging water and headbutting the table, yelling, “My brain’s on fire!” 🍜 **Food Hall of Fame/Shame**: ✔️ **Kang potatoes at Jiefang Road Night Market**: Crispy outside, soft inside with plum powder—my kid invented “potato disco eating.” ✔️ **Cruise’s Diaozi fish**: Fresh river fish so good he licked the bones thrice. ✔️ **CBD’s chili oil buns**: Secretly licked the filling, cried from spice, then claimed his “eyes were leaking strawberry juice.” ✖️ **Viral “Liangsha” dessert**: Queued 30 mins for sugar-water with “wormy” texture—kid called it “tadpole hell.” 📸 **Instagram Gold**: 1⃣️ Longjin Stream bamboo rafts (wave nets for martial arts vibes). 2⃣️ Monkey Mountain suspension bridge (action shots of monkey chases). 3⃣️ G348 rainbow road signs (epic highway backdrops). 4⃣️ Canal Park reed boardwalks (hanfu-clad autumn MV). 🏨 **Hotels: Hits & Misses**: ✔️ **Three Gorges Project Hotel**: Free toy ships, bubble baths with river views 🛁. ✔️ **Lichen Hotel**: Kids’ tent room, breakfast noodles with 10 toppings. ✖️ **A “river-view” homestay**: Reality vs. photos = Taobao scam, with a toilet begging for a plunger. ⚠️ **Life-Saving Gear**: ✔️ Kid leash (crowds = zombie apocalypse). ✔️ Foldable trekking pole (Longjin’s rocks = ice rink). ✔️ Sealable snack bags (monkey-proof, kid-proof, klutz-proof). On the train home, my kid blurted, “Mom, the Yangtze’s wrinkles outnumber Grandma’s!” Though our clothes shed sand like hourglasses, his diary’s “Monkey King battle comics” made it all worth it! (💡 **Final Tip**: **Grip-ready water shoes!** Longjin’s rocks have 800 tricks—we wiped out in 18 styles...)

The Three Gorges is definitely one of the travel destinations that should be included in your life list! When I was a child, I read Li Bai's "The monkeys on both sides of the river are crying incessantly, and the light boat has passed through ten thousand mountains." The picture instantly pulled me into the fantasy world in the poem. When I grew up, I finally saw the Three Gorges with my own eyes. The picturesque scenery made me fall completely in love with it❤️. Today, let me take you to the Three Gorges and start an unforgettable journey! 2 days and 1 night itinerary Day 1 Before 9:00 in the morning, you must rush to the Huangbai River Wharf and take a cruise to Sanxia People's Home. The feeling of slowly moving forward on the river is so pleasant🚢. Of course, driving to Wangjiaping Visitor Center is also a good choice. As soon as you arrive at Wangjiaping, the emerald green Longjin Creek comes into view. The folk performances by the creek are so lively that it feels like you have traveled back to the ancient Three Gorges. Then we continued along Longjin Creek and went to Monkey Mountain to see the lively monkeys🐒, and finally took the boat back. The day's itinerary was full but also relaxing. Day 2 The next day, we arrived at the Three Gorges Visitor Center early and boarded the cruise ship that was full of expectations. The cruise ship slowly sailed into Xiling Gorge. I was particularly lucky because it was after the rain that day, and the foggy mountains and waters looked like a natural ink painting🌅. Sitting on the boat, you can truly feel that "rising water lifts all boats". It's a wonderful feeling that you can only understand by experiencing it yourself. In the afternoon, we drove along G348 and checked in at the Gangouzi Bridge, Liantuopan Bridge, and Xintan Ferry. The scenery along the way was like a visual feast. There are parking lots, toilets, and even special check-in spots along the way, so you don’t have to worry about missing any beautiful scenery📸. Food Guide It would be a pity if you come to Yichang and don’t try the local food! The radish dumplings, with their fresh and tender radish filling, leave a lingering fragrance in your mouth after a bite🥟; the red oil noodles, with just the right amount of spiciness, leave you with an endless aftertaste🍜; and the red oil buns, with their soft and glutinous skin and delicious filling, are the perfect choice for breakfast🥢. In the morning, you must go to "Yichang Breakfast Street", where there are rich varieties of breakfast and the steaming scene will make you feel the fireworks of Yichang instantly. At night, the CBD Night Market and Jiefang Road Night Market are even more lively. Various snacks, barbecues, and various special snacks will completely captivate your taste buds. The Three Gorges is a journey written into poetry and a double feast for the eyes and taste buds. If you also want to experience this romance, then take a trip on a whim. Believe me, you will fall in love with this place! 🚀
