i have a report on the yangtze river, my friend told me it is also the yellow river. but i also saw a website saying that they were different. also i think the yangtze river is also called yangzi, is this correct

Best answer:

Answer by Spock (rhp)
no — they are roughly parallel with the Yellow River being the farther north, flowing into the sea just to the south of Beijing. The Yangtze flowing into the sea near Shanghai [in the central coastal area], and the Xi near Hong Kong in the south.

Do you know how much that phone call would cost you? Add satellite charges and roaming charges and international carrier charges….

There may be a signal, but it depends on where in the river you are.

China–Yangtze River Cruises?

July 3, 2011 / / 1 Comment

Question by ka: China–Yangtze River Cruises?
I am considering visiting China in the fall and have the option of two different itineraries: one includes a 3-night Yangtze River cruise and the other a 4-night cruise. Anyone have any advice about which would be better (in the middle of a 22 day tour)? Any recommendations for tour companies? Thanks!

Best answer:

Answer by bkk
If you are in Chongqing there are many tour companies ( near the river). Go to as many as possible and see which offers the best value for money ie. (free?) side tours, type of cabin, food etc and take your pick!
3 or 4 nights? You must choose for yourself.
Ask around the dock for ‘ jimmy’ he has one of the biggest tour companies and a good reputation but Iv’e lost his card. Sorry.

Is cruising the Yangtze river still worth it now that the dam is operational?

June 30, 2011 / / 2 Comments

Question by Winnie: Is cruising the Yangtze river still worth it now that the dam is operational?
Has anyone cruised down the Yangtze river and the Three Gorges recently? I heared rumors that the cruise would not be as dramatic since the dam has been in operation. Anyone have pictures? If you had to choose, is it more worth it to visit Guilin instead?

Best answer:

Answer by drjkfu
To be honest, I was always told it wasn’t worth it BEFORE the dam. I lived in China for five years. I not once went on that cruise, and I have been to hundreds of places. My favorites for pure natural beauty (in no particular order) are Huangshan (shan=mountain), Lushan, Huashan, Zhouzhaigou, Guilin/Yangshuo, Zhangjiajie. Of these places I mention, Huangshan and Guilin/Yangshuo are most convenient. I am taking friends to Guilin/Yangshuo for my FOURTH visit next summer. The Li River cruise and a day on a bicycle through the villages between the Karst mountains are must do’s.

Are the Yangtze River and the Yangzi River the same thing?

June 25, 2011 / / 2 Comments

Question by scohenscohen: Are the Yangtze River and the Yangzi River the same thing?
Well im studying China and surrounding countries in social studies and I have to locate bodies of water on a map by using another map in my text book. But, I can’t seem to locate it. On the paper it tells me to find “Yangtze River”, but the only thing I see is the Yangtze River, which I was thinking maybe it just has two different spellings. But I’m not sure. Any help would be great!
I meant to put the only thing i can find on the map in the text book is “Yangzi”***

Best answer:

Answer by function
Yes, same thing, different spellings. Yangzi is the more modern version.

Q&A: Which to skip on china trip cuz of time. Yangtze river cruise(3dys), Hong Kong(out of way) Guilin(Li river) ?

June 21, 2011 / / 5 Comments

Question by Gavin Smith: Which to skip on china trip cuz of time. Yangtze river cruise(3dys), Hong Kong(out of way) Guilin(Li river) ?
We’re already going to Beijing, Shanghai, Xi’an. Can only go to 2 of the 3(Guiling/yangshuo, hong kong, yangtze cruise from yaching to chongqing) Guilin seems to be a top tourist attraction with the Li river cruise(4 hours) and Yangshuo not too far away that has many natural attractions(rice paddy fields, mountains), hong kong i left out at first but friends wanna go. Yangtze river cruise seems least exciting but 3rd longest river in the world and 3 gorges dam is one of engineering wonders.

Best answer:

Answer by Kate likes Nikon 🙂
Yangtze river, i would miss out on. The amount of scum & slim that has piled up behind the 3 gorges dam over the years is ridiculous, it’s really affected the nature and beauty. The Guilin is a proper wonder, fabulous.
