Nanjing Travel Forum

will be in nanjing for ten days, i have few days free first week of septemer.has anyone out there done a trip around the three gorges area in the last six months, got a few days alone .will have done most of the obvious sights with my wife,any ideas welcome.

My experience was 1.5 years ago, so I guess you mightn't be interested in my opinion. In any case I found it a royal waste of my money and time.
What "obvious sights" would you already have seen with your wife?

Here I have some tips for you,hope can help
Clothing
1.Day Wear
*Casual shipboard attire or "day wear" and conservative apparel for sightseeing
*Light jackets, jeans, T- shirts and lightweight windbreaker for springs and autumns, a light sweater (for cooler days)
*More cotton T-shirts alternatives, shorts for hot summers plus hats, sunglasses, suntan lotions Comforters, sweaters in winters
*Comfortable walking shoes / sandals / sneakers
2.Dress Code on Board
Most ships will have two formal nights including the Captain's Welcome Cocktail Party and Dinner. Some of the luxury lines, like Regal China, Victoria and East King & Queen have the Captain's Farewell Dinner. For these dinners, formal attire is expected: jacket and tie for gentlemen and dresses or pantsuits for ladies are recommended. However, you may rent a Tuxedo on the ship if you would like.

Nanjing is a distance from the 3-gorges. A better option is to tour the Shanghai/Suzhou/Hangzhou triangle. There are lots of history and lakes/water villages to visit plus, tea plantation in Anhui and great hiking at the nearby Mt. Huangshan.
