CHONGQING — A fully electric-powered sightseeing boat has been put into service on the upper Yangtze River, the longest waterway in China, in an effort to enhance the environmental protection on the river.

The boat with 80 passenger seats has a cruise route passing through scenic spots of the Qutang Gorge and the ancient town of Baidi in the river course that runs through Fengjie county of Southwest China's Chongqing municipality.

The first electric vessel put in service on the upper Yangtze and powered by batteries, the boat, fitted with a panoramic glass sunroof, can reduce diesel consumption by 80 kilograms per voyage, compared with that of a conventional craft.
