F

I am going to take a Yangtze River Cruise from Chongqing to Yichang. After I get disembarked from the ship, I would like to take a bullet train from Yichang to get to Chengdu, so that I can see the pandas there. But I do not know how to get to Yichang Train Station from Yichang dock. Is it very far? How long does it take? Please advise, thanks in advance.

Dear Frieda,

Thanks for contacting Top China Travel!

Yangtze River cruises use three docks in Yichang: New Century Port, Taohuacun Port (Peach Flower Village Port) and Yichang Passenger Port. Yichang Passenger Port is located in the city area but Yangtze cruises seldom use it. Yichang New Century Port (located at No.1 Jianshe Road, Xiling District, Yichang City) and Taohuacun Port (located at Yemingzhu Road, Xiling District, Yichang City) are the main docks used for Yangtze River cruise ships. New Century Port is located 5 kilometers from Taohuacun Port. And Taxi and bus are both available between them.

New Century Port and Taohuacun Port are about 30 kilometers or takes 30-40 minutes by car from downtown Yichang city. Normally, Victoria Cruises, New Century Cruises and President Cruises stop at New Century Port, but sometimes it may be changed according to the river condition, so you'd better check before you cruise, making sure you know the adequate boarding time and port.

Usually, the bullet trains depart from Yichang East Train Station. So you need to get to Yichang East Train Station to catch a bullet train to Chengdu.

There are a couple of options for you to get to Yichang East Train Station from Yichang dock (take New Century Port as example). New Century Port is 24 km away from Yichang East Train Station.

►Option 1 By Car Rental
It is highly recommended for you to rent a car from Yichang dock to Yichang East Train Station from a travel agency, so that you can avoid language difficulties and the difficulties to find the way to catch a public vehicle.

►Option 2 By Taxi
