Train is also a very easy way to get to Yichang. The old, train station is in the city centre. Many trains now, however, stop at Yichang East station that is about 10km from the city station. You can take bus 1 further into the town and then change to bus 23 (these routes should parallel for a while) and then ride to its terminus (Yemingzhu) from which a non-city bus (number 8) goes to the three gorges dam.
