One option includes 3 days on the Yangtze from Yichang to Chongqing(Three Gorges Dam, Xiling Gorge, Lesser Three Gorges, Fengdu). While the other option inlcudes more time in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guilin). Is the Yangtze River cruise still worth it since stage 2 of the project is done (water level at 135M)? Thanks

Though the water level is higher than before, you can see a total different beauty! If you like to more about the history, option 2 is also great! Choice is according to your interest:D

While I suggest you do not take the cruise from June to August due to the flood season. The yellow flood may decrease the beauty of the river. Mid september and October must be the best season there. All in all, the cruise is worth your visit, for most of the sites will be underwater after year 2005.
