On April 30, the “Qingjiang No.1” Cruise was officially put into operation in the waters of the Qingjiang Gallery -- the National 5A Scenic Spot. It has been the cruise with the highest cost and the largest accommodations in Changyang Tujia Autonomous County so far.

　　The cruise is characterized by ancient style and environmental operation, with a total investment of over 8 million RMB. The body of the ship is divided into three levels and is able to convey 400 people in one time, which is the biggest, fastest, and the most comfortable flagship in the scenic spot. On April 30, among all passengers boarding on the maiden voyage of the “Qingjiang No.1” Cruise, Zhou Hongquan, a tourist from Hengyang City, Hunan Province, became the No. 10 Million lucky one since the opening of Qingjiang Galley as a National 5A Scenic.
