We will be traveling from Yichung to Zigui and then want to go to the 3 gorge dam. How do you do it?

Well, u must refer to the journey from Yichang to Zigui. I remember there are direct buses at Yichang Dagongqiao Bus Station and Long-distance Bus Station.

Upon your arrival at Zigui, you can take a taxi to Balu bus stop to transfer to local bus no. 8 or 3 passing the Xiling Yangtze River Bridge to the Passenger Reception Center for the 3 Gorge Dam. There are official/formal tour guide who you are consult. Then buy the tickets at the Ticketing Office to go on with your journey.

I really appreciate you taking the time to give me your suggestions. I will be traveling without a guide, so this is a real adventure for me. NO Chinese 8-)
