Three Gorges Interstellar Apollo |  With such high looks, it's hard not to love!          Recently, I took my parents on a Three Gorges cruise, choosing the Interstellar Apollo cruise ship. I didn't expect it to have such high looks at such an ordinary price, it was truly stunning! ◎ The cruise ship's decor is modern and minimalist, without too many complex decorations. It's bright, clean, simple, and comfortable! ◎ We chose a 26㎡ balcony standard room, which has two 0.9m*2m single beds plus a sofa bed. It's not crowded for a family of three, and it's convenient to take care of parents. ◎ As for meals, we had buffets every day. Although it's not gourmet food, the variety is rich and the taste is good. ◎ The itinerary is relaxed, with guides accompanying us on shore excursions, explaining the attractions seriously. They have a good attitude and are very patient with elderly tourists. ☆☆☆ The itinerary is as follows ☆☆☆ Day1: Board the ship at Chongqing Chaotianmen Wharf, which is near Jiefangbei, a bustling area. If you arrive in Chongqing early, you can stay nearby. · Day2: Arrive in Fengdu and go ashore to visit Fengdu Ghost City, which is said to be the prototype of the underworld, quite mysterious. You need to climb the mountain, but if you lack physical strength, you can choose to take the cable car up and down. In the afternoon, there is a live performance of "The Three Kingdoms", which requires an additional fee. We didn't go, but those who did said the performance was good. · Day3: Arrive in Fengjie and visit Baidi City, which is also an optional attraction. We went, and it was worth it. Since childhood, I have read Li Bai's poem "Setting off from Baidi City", so it would be a pity not to go. Then we went to Wushan, where we switched to a sightseeing boat to tour the Lesser Three Gorges of Wushan, a very fresh and elegant natural scenic area. The mountains and waters are green, like a landscape gallery, full of artistic conception. There is also the Mini Three Gorges to tour, but we didn't go because the scenery is similar to the Lesser Three Gorges. Then we passed through Wu Gorge, where you can see Goddess Peak from the deck. Goddess Peak is shrouded in mist, like a graceful fairy, super beautiful and dreamy! · Day4: The ship arrives at Maoping Wharf in Yichang and stops. We took our luggage and took a bus to visit the Three Gorges Dam Scenic Area. There is also an optional project - the Three Gorges Ship Lift. We chose it, and it was worth it. The cruise ship took the elevator (ship lift) over the dam, which was very shocking! Finally, we took a bus to the Three Gorges Visitor Center, where the trip ended. ~~~~~~ 🛳️ The Interstellar Apollo gave me many surprises. Its looks and service can withstand the test. The ship is equipped with entertainment facilities such as a cinema, bar, karaoke room, gym, and chess room. Give it a try! ✅ Interstellar Apollo Room Introduction The Interstellar Apollo mainly has two types of rooms: Deluxe Standard Room (215 rooms) and Supreme Executive Room (2 rooms). The twin beds can be combined into a large bed, and the sofa bed can be opened as an extra bed. A room can accommodate up to 4 people, which is especially suitable for family trips.

Chaotianmen Square, located at the Chaotianmen Dock in Yuzhong District of Chongqing, is the water gateway of Chongqing. This place, where two rivers converge and surrounded by mountains on three sides, is majestic. The name 'Chongqing Chaotianmen Square' was personally inscribed by Jiang Zemin, who was the General Secretary of the Communist Party of China at the time. In 1891, when Chongqing was opened as a commercial port, Chaotianmen began to establish a customs office. In 1927, in order to build the Chaotianmen Dock, the old city gate was demolished. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Dai Ding expanded the old city of Chongqing. During this process, he built 17 city gates according to the numerology of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams, among which the largest was Chaotianmen. The gate originally had four large characters inscribed on it: 'Ancient Yuzhong's Majestic Pass'. This gate was built along the eastward-flowing Yangtze River, facing the imperial capital Nanjing, to welcome the imperial envoys and receive imperial decrees, hence the name 'Chaotianmen'. To the left of Chaotianmen is the Jialing River, which flows into the Yangtze River here. Passing through the Three Gorges and connecting to the Han River, it stretches for thousands of miles, forming the 'golden water section' of the Yangtze River. Address: Changjiang Binjiang Road, Yuzhong District, Chongqing Chaotianmen Square

The wide river surface suddenly darkens, that's the stingy sunset hastily taking back the last trace of afterglow. Chaotianmen, wisely, embraces the night. Gone are the leisurely morning exercises of the citizens at dawn, gone are the bustling tourists during the day. Logically, Chaotianmen should be at rest after nightfall. However, at this moment, Chaotianmen is even more lively than during the day. Don't believe it? Look: 'Chaotian sails', the Raffles City Chongqing, composed of 8 super high-rise towers, 6 commercial podiums and 3 basements, shines like a crystal palace under the light, bursting with modern fashion. On one side is the neon flashing chaos of the world, on the other side is the quiet and serene river flow, they are like enlightened old monks, indifferent to fame and disgrace, letting time pass by. Are the people strolling leisurely on the riverbank contemplating their current life in the night, or are they longing for the refreshing breeze of the river? Or are they reminiscing about their past in the face of the scenery? The grey river surface gradually becomes dazzling. Tour boats with various eye-catching slogans are slowly cruising in the river, bringing a touch of bright red to the dark green water, like flowers and silk. The men and women on the deck and the side of the ship, what kind of worldly love and lingering thoughts are they whispering? Perhaps, they are just listening attentively to the Yangtze River telling the winding path treaded by the trackers over hundreds of years, the once grandeur of the 'Ancient Yuzhong Pass' and the unpredictable national legends that happened on the dock in the historical years. Chaotianmen Square.
