Chongqing Wulong Tiankeng, Fairy Mountain, and Wujiang River One-Day Small Group Tour

11 hours

Easy

Depart from Chongqing between 7:00 AM and 8:00 AM.


Your driver and guide will pick you up near your hotel or designated location at the agreed time.

You'll depart from Chongqing's main city in a comfortable van or minibus, enjoying the cityscape along the way. You'll then connect to the expressway for a 2.5-3 hour journey to Wulong District.

On the way, your guide will explain the day's itinerary, Chongqing's local customs, and other important points.


10:30 AM - 12:30 PM Visit the Wulong Three Natural Bridges (Tiankeng)


Arrive at the Wulong Visitor Center and transfer to the scenic area's eco-friendly shuttle to the Three Natural Bridges Scenic Area (also known as the Tiankeng).

This is the core attraction, a typical karst landform. You'll take an elevator down to the bottom of the tiankeng and hike to the following:

Tianlong Bridge, Qinglong Bridge, and Heilong Bridge: Three magnificent natural stone arch bridges, each a majestic sight, a true masterpiece of nature.

Tianfu Official Inn: The only exterior filming location for the film "Curse of the Golden Flower," this quaint courtyard house sits at the bottom of the tiankeng, seemingly secluded from the world.

(The hiking tour takes approximately 1.5-2 hours and requires a descent on foot. Sledding is also available at your own expense.)


12:30-1:30 PM Lunch

The itinerary typically includes a local lunch (such as bowls of mutton, farm-style dishes, etc.) at a restaurant near the scenic area.


1:30-4:00 PM Visit Fairy Mountain National Forest Park

After lunch, travel by bus to Fairy Mountain, known as the "Switzerland of the East."

Taking the scenic train (usually at your own expense) is the easiest way to explore Fairy Mountain:

Grassland Station: Get off the train and stroll through the vast alpine grasslands, taking photos, having fun, and experiencing the rare grassland scenery of southern China.

Racecourse Station: At your own expense, you can enjoy horseback riding, archery, grass skiing, and other activities (skiing is available in winter).

(Note: Small group tours stop here for approximately 1.5-2 hours, primarily for relaxation and photo opportunities.)


From 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM, enjoy the Wujiang River Gallery along the way and return.

Meet on the bus and begin your journey back to Chongqing's main city.

On the return journey, the bus will travel along the Wujiang River. From the bus, you can admire the magnificent scenery of the Wujiang River Gallery, where the emerald green waters and the steep peaks form a magnificent panorama stretching for hundreds of miles.

The driver will stop at a safe viewing platform for you to disembark and take photos (subject to road conditions and time constraints).

Return to Chongqing city between 6:30 PM and 7:30 PM.

We expect to arrive in Chongqing city in the evening and be transferred to your morning pick-up point or a nearby convenient location, concluding your fulfilling day trip.
