Tuesday August 22nd, 2017
TODAYS MILEAGE – 887 miles or 1,427 kilometres
TRIP MILEAGE – 36,446 miles or 58,654 kilometres
We travelled approximately 90 miles (145 kilometres) down the the "Yangtze River" to arrive at our disembarkation point of Tetianxicun at around 4AM.
It was a short 15 minute bus ride over to the "3 Gorges Dam", where we spent an hour and a half checking one of the largest man-made engineering projects in the world.
From there, it was another hour and a half in the mini-van to "Yichang East Railway Station" for our overnight ride to Liuzhou in the "Guangxi Zhuang" Autonomous Region.
• LETIANXICUN ~ Leaving The Yangtze 1 (Hubei, CHN)
• TANJIATUO ~ Three Gorges Dam (Hubei, CHN)
Day 17 - Yangtze River to Liuzhou
Disembark in Yichang, visit the 3 Rivers Dam and then board an overnight train to Liuzhou.
Experience overnight travel like a local. Sit back and get some well-earned (and likely much-needed) rest en route to your next stop.
