The Yangtze ties Nanjing to the Three Gorges along a single waterway. Nine days begin with the city wall and the Qinhuai, then board a ship and travel upstream through the Xiling, Wu and Qutang gorges to Chongqing. It is the grandest stretch of water in China — and the most unhurried way to travel it.
