MAIN CITIES TO EXPLORE BY CRUISING
CHONGQING
Chongqing is the largest municipality in southwest China. It is a modern port city on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Chongqing was separated from the province and designated a provincial-level municipality under the direct administration of the central government, the fourth one (after Beijing, Shanghai, and Tianjin) to be established in 1997.Chongqing makes up for a lack of top-notch sights with fantastic food and charismatic geography, Chongqing is undergoing a stage of dramatic redevelopment, making it a fascinating city to visit for any traveller. There's nowhere else in China you'll see a dramatic glass skyscraper next to precarious stilted houses and eateries centuries old. Chongqing is undergoing a stage of dramatic redevelopment, making it a fascinating city to visit for any traveller.
WUHAN
With the Yangtze River running through the city, Wuhan was once nicknamed the “River City.” In addition to that, Wuhan has been referred to as the “Chicago of China” due to its role as a transportation hub for central China. It was even, at one point, described by way of an ancient Chinese idiom from the Ming Dynasty as “九省通衢 (jiu sheng tong qu),” which means that Wuhan is easily accessible by water or land from nine provinces in China. Today, Wuhan is still the transportation hub of Central China. In addition, Wuhan is also recognized as the third largest technological and educational center in China behind Beijing and Shanghai. It is also a key finance, commerce, logistics and cultural center of Central China, even being colloquially known as the “golden key” to the enormous markets located within China’s central areas.
