Last week, the first river cruises of the year have started on the Yangtze river. The cruises operate with New Century Cruises Ltd on a cruise ship called the ‘century myth’: a luxury ship that weighs over 10,000 tons, is 141.8 meters long and can carry 400 people.
The cruises will run from November until March at weekly intervals, with 13 cruises planned so far. The two lines that started last week are Shanghai to Yangzhou, and Shanghai to Taizhou. Both take four days and three nights, and will operate weekly.
Attractions that can be seen along the shore include Changshu, Nantong, and other cities. For example, the Shanghai to Taizhou route goes from Shanghai on a Friday night, arriving in Taizhou on Saturday morning, going to Nantong and Changsu and back to Shanghai, arriving early Monday morning.
Passengers will also be able to get off the boat and see some attractions. For example, Tanggang, where the boat will dock and passengers will be taken to some of the best sights. The trips cost 2380 RMB, but there are discounts of up to 400 RMB for the first month of operation.
