Overview
Take a trip to Yichang on your China Vacation
Lying on the north bank of the Yangtze River, the city of Yichang is located in the middle of the country on a China, vacation and acts as the main transportation centre linking China’s east and west. It is situated amongst natural resources and beautiful scenery derived from mountains, waterfalls, caves, and stone forests. Natural reserves in and around Yichang include Chaibuxi National Forest Park and Houhe Natural Reserve.
Between the Yangtze River running through the city and the Three Gorges, considered one the best natural landscapes of China, Yichang is abundant with water resources. The man-made wonder, The Three Gorges Dam Project, is located on the Xiling Gorge and is the world’s largest electricity-generating plant which will certainly impress on China tours.
Known for its local products such as oranges, persimmons, Chinese gooseberries, and tea, Yichang is a delightful place to find restaurants, cafes and street stalls, all offering local specialties. Yichang is truly a beautiful city to enjoy all of nature’s offerings on China travel packages.

Chinese Yuan (CNY)What do the experts say?
It is very enjoyable to travel in China by high-speed train, but you should avoid travelling during the National Holidays from October 1 to 7 and from May 1 to 4, as they get extra busy.
Jinxian Road in Shanghai is a small road but full of superb, Michelin-recognized restaurants. I highly recommend visiting here on your travels to China.
China's many beautiful natural sights and rich cultural areas are what I love most about visiting. Some of my personal favourites are Yunnan's Shangri-La, Xinjiang, Zhangjiajie, and the 5 Great Mountains.
