| Bus 216 From Yichang to Three Gorges Dam |
The bus takes me all the way to the starting point of the Three Gorges Dam scenic tourist area a good 30+ km. Three Gorges Dam scenic area was free to all however, to get there a shuttle bus is required and driving own vehicle don’t seam to cut it either since it has to go through a few military check point. Hence the shuttle bus ticket price of RMB 35 seams to be the un-disguised entrance fee to see the Three Gorges Dam.

The govement approved tourist center tried to sell me a package of shuttle bus to see the Dam then a cruise boat back to Yichang. The cruise boat cost around RMB 180 so I gave it a hard pass and opt for the cheapest possible way to visit Three George Dam.
The shuttle bus from scenic point to scenic point for RMB 35. All in all it cost me RMB10 to the Starting Point, RMB 35 for shuttle bus, RMB 10 to get back to Yichang. A good 4 hours round journey tour which I peg it as a great cheap sightseeing day.

Three Gorges Dam. Its not ave aspiring beautiful but the engineering feat of the project does captivate me being in the same industry. I guess this place is not so popular as other scenic area as it really depend on specific interest.

After visiting the Dam, I returned to Yichang and rounded back on the public bus No. 10 to get to another scenic spot called Sanyoudong but end up not entering as there was an entrance ticket of RMB 65. The bus there was only RMB 2 so still worth the small detour to see some nice scenery outside the ticket booth.
