The aim of this paper is to explore characteristics of overland transport network of tourism cities along the Yangtze River. General characteristics and accessibility of tourism transport network are both investigated. The result shows that a good structure of transport network does not always ensure high accessibility. In order to learn the transport network comprehensively, we propose general characteristics and accessibility should be researched at the same time. Finally, we put forward some specific suggestions for development of tourism transport network in this tourism region.
