CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- The green mountains along the Three Gorges and the Yangtze River would to be bustling with tourists, although the chill of early spring hadn’t gone away.

Dai Bo, 52-year-old captain of Victoria Sabrina, who had been working as a captain for 35 years, holding his white suit and gently stroking the shoulder mark, said excitedly that “nine hundred and fifty-four days had been passed since my last sailing”. He would resume sailing on March 9th and serve more than 300 tourists for a five-day Three Gorges Tourism.

According to the cruises operation company, the Three Gorges cruises suspended due to the dry season would scheduled to resume operation in March. There were few tickets for this month left.

Recovery: Cruise ticket in short supply

A few hours before sailing, Dai Bo checked his suits again and saed “I’m so excited to welcome so many tourists”. He stood on the deck to welcome every tourists in person.

The over 300 tourists from Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Hebei, Fujian, Heilongjiang and so on were not only to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the Three Gorges, but also gave people working on the courses and along the tour routs support and confidence.

“Say goodbye to haze and welcome the new beginning”, Dai Bo was full of expectation to the rapid recovery of tourism.

Cruise tickets for March in short supply and tourists from not only Sichuan and Chongqing, but also other cities all indicated a new start.

Why the “blowout” recovery occurred at the Three Gorges Tour so quickly?

Dai said, “the green mountains and clear waters are the recovery basics, while the urgent mood of tourists are the powerful motivator.”

For the cruise workers, the scenery along the Yangtze River increased annually. “The districts and counties along the Three Gorges never stop construction during the past three years. Due to the accumulation, the Three Gorges can provide more scenery for tourists, such as ‘four classic scenes’ and folk culture.”

Three Gorges Tourism is a representative of Chongqing, which has a strong global influence. It has been developed for more than 20 years and welcomes a new start in this year.

“Ticket must be booked one or two months in advance,” Dai says. (Translated by Li Li, Fathom Language Limited)
