[quote=JABAROOTOO,303826]Forget Wuhan. Too far down stream. You can plan your arrival in Wushan, Chongqing Municipality for the afternoon, Stay overnight, make arrangements for a morning tour of the lesser gorges That afternoon travel downstream to Badong, Hunan Province, stay overnight, arrange for tour of Shennong Xi for the following morning and bus tickets for early afternoon to onward destination of either Enshi or Zhangjia jie depending on the length of the trip. I try to avoid night travel in these parts even though roads are good but winding and mountainous. Limit to 5/6 hours duration and delays sometimes lengthen trips by up to one hour. If they tell you four hours budget for five. Always add at least one hour. If you get in on time that's a bonus. Yes you will miss the last of the Gorges, the Qutang but you will have seen up close some spectacular scenery and experienced the boat tracking in Shennong Xi. Badong is in the second gorge so you'll be right in the thick of it there. It should be enough. Mush of the Qutang is via bus these days anyway. Unless you take a Yangtze cruise boat which travels thru the locks in the new dam and on to Yichang. But recently they have been deepening the locks so a lot of cruises where also finishing at the dam and bussing on to Yichang too.[/quote]
