Traveling in the Yangtze river can be as luxurious as staying in a five star hotel or as simple as a backpacker adventure or a little of both. Which ever you may choose, the landscapes of the countryside and the cities' views will surely enthrall you and take you back in time when this majestic river cradled ancient civilization. Best time to travel considering a comfortable climate, although it's also the time for peak prices, would be April, May, late September and October.
