A Day Trip to the Three Gorges Tribe

When you arrive in Yichang, you must take a Yangtze River cruise to experience the "journey through countless mountains." Joining a group tour for the Three Gorges Tribe day trip is a convenient option, saving you the hassle of buying boat tickets and arranging transportation. The lush green mountains and picturesque scenery on both sides of the Yangtze River are truly breathtaking. As the boat passes through layer upon layer of mountains, you travel from Xiling Gorge to the Three Gorges Tribe scenic area. Although the scenic area is not very large, you will need to walk up and down mountain paths. However, the short escalator ride at the entrance comes with an additional fee, which feels a bit overpriced. If you're not in a hurry, you can simply walk up on your own. The various Tujia ethnic performances are quite rich and entertaining. Be sure to check the schedule for each performance, as the itinerary can be a bit tight. The Three Gorges Tribe is nestled between mountains and water, with traditional stilted houses dotting the landscape. Antique-style black canopy boats and ancient sailboats are moored along the shore. The scenery of Longjin Stream is truly picturesque and well worth a visit.
