All the Best!!

你好，

Hi Leo,

我们非常开心地度过了一周的梦幻之旅。出发前，提心吊胆了很久。没想到这艘游船没有受到洪水和台风的影响，能按既定行程走完，觉得非常幸运。整个行程的天气有晴有雨有雾，我们看到了三峡最美的一面。“晴三峡，雨三峡，不如雾三峡“。一路看到了很多美景，船上品尝了各地美食，涨了很多知识。导游讲解生动，船上美食可口。我们订的是标准间。总的来讲，睡得还是不错的。能近距离看到长江水波听到水声，是件浪漫的事。说实在的，第一眼看到浴室的墙面，有点心理发毛。但是用起淋浴，水够大，够暖，还是舒服的。也许他们可以把淋浴头扶手周围的水垢处理下，就完美啦。我们在假期都不习惯早起。有几天都得早起去景点，有些不适应。不过这是趟让人回味无穷的旅行，有机会我们会推荐给老外们。

We had an amazing week on this dream trip. Before we set off, we had been quite worried for a long time because of the weather conditions. To our surprise, the cruise was not affected by the flooding or the typhoon, and we were able to complete the whole itinerary as planned. We feel incredibly lucky. During the journey, we experienced all kinds of weather, sunny skies, rain, and fog, and each one showed us a different side of the Three Gorges. As people say, “The Three Gorges are beautiful in the sunshine, beautiful in the rain, but even more magical in the fog.” The scenery along the way was absolutely breathtaking. We enjoyed delicious local food from different regions on board and learned a lot about the history, culture, and landscapes of the area. The tour guides were knowledgeable and gave very engaging explanations, and the food on the ship was tasty. We booked a standard room, and overall we slept quite well. Being able to get so close to the Yangtze River, watching the waves and listening to the sound of the water at night, was such a romantic experience. To be honest, when we first saw the bathroom walls, we felt a little uncomfortable because of the appearance. But once we used the shower, we found that the water pressure was strong and the water was warm, so it was actually quite comfortable. Perhaps the cruise company could do a little more cleaning around the shower head and the handrail to remove some water stains, and then it would be nearly perfect. Since we are not used to getting up early during holidays, the early morning schedules for some of the sightseeing stops were a little challenging for us. But this was truly a memorable journey that we will treasure for a long time. We would definitely recommend this cruise to our foreign friends. It was a wonderful way to experience the beauty of the Yangtze River and the Three Gorges.

Hello Leo,

We liked the cruise very much. The ship was great and the cabin (we upgraded to celestial), food, excursions and especially the crew were all good.

We liked the itinerary and we had a super time.

(Although when we arrived in Yichang all the trains to Chongqing were cancelled so we arranged a Didi driver to take us there (it took 11 hours!) the driver did a very good job and was rewarded accordingly.
