Attraction introduction: This trip specially included Yellow Crane Tower stop. Yellow Crane Tower is located on Snake Mountain in Wuhan, standing by the Yangtze River. It is renowned as the "Number One Tower of Rivers and Mountains Under Heaven," with countless inscriptions by scholars throughout history. Climbing the tower, you can enjoy views of the great river flowing east and the scenery of Wuhan's three towns. It is a spiritual landmark of the river city, with the main building's various floors, the Brush Pavilion, and the Baiyun Pavilion being the most worth a closer look.

Comfortable sports shoes are recommended, and a light jacket is recommended; Always carry your ID and follow the guide along the way, remembering the meeting time and place. Visitors generally consider Yellow Crane Tower a highlight of the itinerary, so it's recommended to slow down and follow the guide to the explanations, rather than just rushing along. From actual experience, holiday crowds are high, so it's best to off-peak and book in advance; You can also try Wuhan snacks in nearby Hubu Alley.

Today is themed around the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. Avoid peak crowds and enter the park in staggered times, following the recommended route for an in-depth tour; Enjoy local flavors nearby at noon, then have free time or follow a guide for extra tours in the afternoon, and stay at a hotel to rest in the evening. You can prepare water well. The Yangtze River Three Gorges covers a large area with few supply points in between, so preparing in advance is more leisurely.

The Three Gorges stretch from Baidi City in Chongqing in the west to Nanjin Pass in Yichang, Hubei in the east, and are composed of Qutang Gorge, Wu Gorge, and Xiling Gorge, famous for its majestic gorges and tranquil lakes. You can take a cruise to see the peaks on both banks, creating a symphony of Yangtze River shipping and scenery.

Tourists often say that cruise views of the canyon are the easiest way, while Qutang Gorge is the most spectacular. Reminder: Choose your cabin well; Fengdu Ghost City depends on personal interests. Based on my own experience, taking a cruise is the most comfortable way to tour the Three Gorges. Choose your route (Yichang–Chongqing) and cabin in advance; Short docking times along the shore, follow the guide closely and do not leave the group.

Gather in the morning and depart for the Three Gorges Dam, follow the guide along the main route, visiting all the highlights one by one, and allow ample time for photos and rest; Enjoy local specialties at noon, continue deeper in the afternoon, and check into the hotel in the evening to recharge for the next day's journey.
