Felix Fu - Our Professional Cruise Expert

Biography

Hi, there! This is Felix from Chengdu Bamboo International Tour Co. Ltd. Working as a tour operator is my first real job since I graduated in 2018, and it’s pretty lucky for me to be one of this family which makes me feel passionate and warm.

It was a beautiful “mistake” that I chose Tourism Management as my major in university, and I’m totally obsessed with it. Why is travel meaningful? For me, it’s a great chance to live as a native in somewhere that you have never been to, which is the best way to explore local culture!

During November in 2019, I spent four days on Victoria Sophia, an old ship which started to sail in 1994 and was renovated in 2012 but offers high quality of service in every detail. I felt quite casual while I’m on the ship with well-appointed cabins, fine facilities, great food, fascinating sceneries, historic spots, heartwarming service, adorable staff and of course new friends I made. You won’t regret trying but regret not to try. Besides the Yangtze cruise from Chongqing to Yichang, I have visited many other destinations in China, including Shanghai, Xi'an, Hangzhou, Leshan, Dujiangyan, Guiyang, Nanjing, Xichang and I’m still on the road.

If you have any interests, you can head to our Yangtze River Cruise Tour to find more excellent ships. Feel free to select your favorite to explore the marvel of Yangtze River!

Yangtze Cruise Tips from Felix

The "best" depends on what you are more concerned about, weather or price. To most visitors,the best best time for natural scenery should be the Spring and Autumn, namely, April to June and September to November when the weather is cool and comfortable, neither cold nor hot. For the biggest discount, winter period, usually December to the next January or early February are top reccommended. Also, July to August for summer vacation also offer some discounts for families with student children.

There are different cruise lines to cater different customer demands. Cruise between Chongqing and Yichang is the most classic and golden route to appreciate the famous Three Gorges view. Besides, if interested in discovering more nature, culture, history and economy in cities along the Yangtze, cruising between Shanghai and Chongqing, Shanghai and Wuhan, Chongqing and Wuhan, etc. are recommended for special savory. (note: cruise routes are changed every year.)

Upstream means sailing from lower part of river to the up to the higher part of the river. It usually takes one more day and spares more time onboard for leisure activities, lectures, etc. Downstream mean sailing from higher part of the river to the lower part of the river. There is enough time to enjoy the shore excursions because all scenic sites are arranged in the daytime. Besides, upstream cruise prices may be a little higher than that of the downstream cruise for some companies.

You cruise vacation duration usually is about 4 to 5 days for the Chongqing Yichang sailing route, which is decided by the ship and itinerary you have chosen and booked. For the longer Chongqing Shanghai cruise route, it usually needs 11 to 15 days for different ships.
