FAQFAQ
Is 4 days 3 nights enough from Chongqing to Yichang?
Yes. It is the classic downstream route covering the three gorges and the dam; for a slower pace choose the 5-day/4-night upstream.
How early should I reach Chongqing?
A day early is recommended to avoid flight delays and to see the city.
How do I get to the airport after disembarking?
From Yichang, a taxi is about 40 min to Sanxia Airport and 20 min to Yichang East Station; pre-book a transfer if you like.
