From October 12^th, the new route for yachts cruising on Three Gorges will start from Chaotian Gate in Chongqing. Through the Three Gorges Dam and Gezhou Dam, and the new terminal will be the No. 9 Port of Yichang. The entire journey will be miles longer than the former one, so it will take visitors another eight hours while traveling along the Three Gorges.

On this basis, the price for Yichang-Chongqing yacht cruise has risen by CNY 25. For example, the price for the third class cabin has increased from CNY 160 to CNY 185. Together with the fuel charge-CNY 30, the new price for the third class cabin will be CNY 215. However, this price rise does not involve the Chongqing-Yichang cruise, of which the price remains unchanged.
