You mentioned the Yangtze cruise trip from Chongqing to Jingzhou, I just wish to bring an update about 2018 Yangtze sailing routes: most ships now sail only between Chongqing and Maoping Port of Yichang. The cruise lines will then use a motor coach to transfer passengers to Yichang city for train or flight departures. This is the Chongqing to Yichang Yangtze Cruise itinerary and Yichang to Chongqing Itinerary.
Jingzhou is a historic city with old city walls like you see in Xian, and it has an excellent museum where you can even see a mummy and some awesome display from the Three Gorges region. You can take the fast train from Yichang to Jingzhou.
Summer from July to August tends to be hotter; September and October are the best times to travel but most expensive. Ships stop running from late December to February next year.
I hope this information helps. Enjoy your river cruise on the Yangtze. :D:D
