Question by Bojan Jankovic: Li River or Yangtze River?
I am having a very hard time choosing between doing a cruise on the Li Jiang River or the Yangtze River. Which one do you think would be a more scenic experience?
Best answer:
Answer by Alex S
Wow, either one would be gorgeous and the experience of a lifetime. I suggest that you choose depending on how much time you have to spend on the river. A Yangtze River cruise will involve about three days and two nights on the water. It’s gorgeous, but some people find it a bit boring after awhile. On the other hand, some people think it’s the perfect relaxing break in a busy schedule.
“The” Li River cruise is just a half day ride. It’s also spectacularly beautiful, but there’s a lot to see and do in the Guilin / Yangshuo area. For instance, it’s very popular to stay in Yangshuo overnight and go bicycling on dirt paths in the nearby vicinity, or you could base yourselves in Guilin and go see the “Dragon’s Backbone” rice fields that are terraced up the sides of steep mountains.
In either case, depending on how adventurous you are, I’d recommend getting away from the crush of tourists by avoiding the pre-booked tours that specialize in squeezing money out of rich, stupid westerners. Do a lot of research on the internet and also ask for customer references from any tour companies! 🙂 The English language version of http://www.ctrip.com has an interesting China guide: http://english.ctrip.com/Destinations/DestinationGuides.asp which you can use as a starting point to think about destinations inside China.
Have fun!

Answer by THEGURU
With its great distances, countless museums and long coach rides, China can be tiring for even the most enthusiastic tourist. That’s just one of the reasons why a Yangtze River cruise works so well within a standard tour of China, as it provides time for perspective and relaxation in the middle of a challenging excursion. Combine that with the continuing interest in the river generated by the construction of the Yangtze River Dam, and it’s easy to see why many tour operators continue to make such cruises a centerpiece.
Sun Yatsen laid out his vision for the great dam that is now being built. Operators continue to push the fact that travelers must see the river before the dam is completed in 2009, when the Yangtze will dramatically change. Indeed, the diversionary canal at Xiling, which runs for a mile and a half around the dam’s construction site, has already altered the cruise experience, even before the anticipated rising of the waters that the completed dam will cause.
“Despite all that, the Yangtze River remains a wonder. From its beginnings in the mountains of Qinghai Province to Shanghai on the East China Sea, the river runs 3,690 miles, feeding one in 15 of the world’s population along the way. It’s longer than U.S. Interstate 80 (New York to Los Angeles), and is the third longest river in the world, after the Amazon and Nile. The esthetic heart of the river is the 118-mile stretch that runs through the Three Gorges, the walls of which rise as high as 1,000 feet.
“The standard cruise, covering approximately 850 miles from Wuhan to Chongqing, typically lasts between three and six days, depending on whether the vessel is heading up or downstream. Passengers take in numerous temples, some thousands of years old; the essential Chinese beauty of mountain, mist and river; and village life along the river.
“The dam will raise the river by 560 feet, creating a lake 360 miles long that will submerge many of these ancient villages

Question by Hawk_Nelson_Rox: What was life on the Yangtze River like before the Three Gorges Dam was built?
I had already tried googling it and I couldn’t come up with anything. Only how life after it was built. Thanks. And try to give your source or give me a website that I can go and visit myself.

Answer by James™
Before the dam was built, there many floods that drowned a nearby city with population of several million. In 1954, a flood killed 30,000 people and left one million homeless. But the dam prevents this sort of thing from reoccurring.
A long time before the Three Gorges Dam, the Yangtze River was used for transportation, a lot more than it does now. The large cargo ships would have raised the water level and caused even more floods. The dam has reduced the amount of transportation up/down the river helping considerably to reduce the flooding of the riverside towns and cities.
Hope this helps 🙂
