The most popular route for Yangtze River cruises is between Chongqing and Yichang, which is also one of the most beautiful sections of the Yangtze River. The downstream journey (Chongqing to Yichang) typically lasts 3 nights and 4 days, while the upstream journey (Yichang to Chongqing) usually lasts 4 nights and 5 days.
Some cruise ships operate longer routes between Chongqing and Shanghai, such as the Century Legend, which, in addition to the essential Chongqing-Yichang section, also visits other famous Chinese cities like Yangzhou, Nanjing, Wuhan, etc.
