Must See
Three Gorges Dam is 38km from Crowne Plaza Yichang. Made of concrete, it's 2,309 metres long and 185 high, making it the single biggest hydroelectric power station on Earth. Our Concierge can organise half-day trips to the dam and its nearby museum.
What's New
Wanda Plaza, right on the doorstep of Crowne Plaza Yichang, is a newly opened shopping mall that's packed with shops, restaurants and karaoke booths. There's also a cinema showing the latest Chinese and international films.
Tips
Taxis are a safe and convenient way to get around Yichang. Simply flag one down and ask them to switch the meter on, and you'll pay for your journey by the kilometre.
Must Do
Head out to Jiuwan Brook, a 13km-long stretch of rapids near the Three Gorges Dam, and spend the day exploring. The first stretch is fast and furious, but the second section is more sedate, leaving you free to enjoy a guided boat tour through the valley.
