Wuhan is situated along the edge of the Changjiang (Yangtze, 长江) River. Ferries are available to Shanghai, Chongqing and other riverside cities. There are 18 ferry routes in the city, of which there are three fast line routes. There is also a sightseeing tour on the Yangtze river. You can board the ferry at a two different ferry docks (Zhonghua road in Wuhang or WuhanGuan in Hankou). This means of transportation is pretty cheap, safe, and excellent for visitors who are interested in the natural landscape and a bit of fresh air.

 

However, boats are a slow method of transportation. For example, if you are going to Nanjing by boat, it will take you 48 hours to get there.

 

Prices depend on the boat type (deluxe or not) and class (three classes, from economic to VIP).

Lots of travel agencies in Wuhan offer deluxe cruises to the famous Three Gorges.
