The disaster has now caused a higher toll than the sinking of a ferry in South Korea in April 2014 that killed 304 people, most of them children on a school trip.
It is also China's worst shipping catastrophe in seven decades.
More than 1,400 family members have gone to Jianli in the central province of Hubei, where the ship went down, with many expressing frustration at the lack of information from the government.
The government says that it is doing everything possible to help the relatives, including providing free accommodation and medical services.
But relatives have expressed concern about security apparently being aimed at them, including the number of police cars parked outside of hotels where they are staying.
This morning, a daily government briefing for family members was cut short after an argument broke out with a representative of the local government.
One woman was carried out of the briefing after she fainted.
The government is bringing in equipment to store the bodies, many of which are in an advanced state of decomposition, as well as DNA experts to help with identification.
