5. The Yangtze River Cruise

The Yangtze Cruise

The Yangtze is the longest river in China and the third longest in the world. From the deck of a cruise boat, the Yangtze reveals itself as a long picture scroll of stunning scenery. Along the route, you will see historical sites associated with China's rich store of myths and legends. Terraces nurtured by local inhabitants for centuries sit alongside the gigantic Three Gorges Dam, the world's largest hydroelectric power station.
