I'd like to spend some time on the Yangtze river in the Yichang area, but I cannot find any information on day trips or overnight trips. I don't have time for a full cruise and I can't afford anything too expensive as an academic.

Thanks for any info!

Reccommend vsiting the Shennong Stream. It starts at Mt.Shennong Jia in Hubei Province north of the Yangtze. It comprises of Parrot Gorge and Dragon Boat Gorge each, with breathtaking scenery. Sailing through the treacherous gorges with lush pine lined shores and translucent water, visitors can see spectacular sights like ancient plank roads, ancient cave coffins, caves, a rainbow fountain and rare animals like macaques and mandarin ducks. It is also a perfect way to experience the culture of the Tujia. Plenty of info online
