From Yichang to Chongqing(Upstream)
● Advantages
1. Because it is countercurrent, the average speed of upstream cruise is slower than that of downstream cruise. The former is 16 kph (10 mph) and the latter is 29 kph (18 mph). Slower speed allows passengers to have more time to stay with the attractions and take more photos.
2. Upstream cruise is longer. A longer cruise means that tourists can enjoy more scenery, learn more about the culture and custom on the Yangtze River. The more tourists contact, the more they know about China.
● Disadvantages
1. Cruise ship will sail at night, otherwise it can't reach the shore excursion destination in the daytime to enjoy the attraction. Therefore, it may have some effect on passengers' rest, and some scenery will be missed at night. However, it not affects the whole schedule.
2. In the journey between Chongqing and Shanghai, upstream cruise charges a higher price than that of the downstream cruise. But for most cruise routes, the price is the same (Only Victoria Prince Cruises run between Chongqing and Shanghai).
From Chongqing to Yichang(DownStream)
● Advantages
1. Downstream cruise is shorter than upstream cruise because its speed is faster than the latter's. It is a better choice for travelers who have a short holiday.Downstream cruise makes up the pity that people whose holiday is limited cannot travel Yangtze River.
2.Under normal circumstances, downstream cruise only sail in the daytime. Therefore, passengers can have a sweet sleeping at night, and there is no need to worry about missing some attractions. The arrangement makes tourists be more comfortable and get more pleasure during the journey.
● Disadvantages
Due to the fast speed, passengers will not have complete information about the scenery and not have enough time to take more photos.
