First, go to Three Gorges Museum. The vast collection of over 280,000 pieces of precious historical relics gives an amazing introduction of the great Yangtze River and formation of the magnificent Three Gorges and tells the thriving of Chongqing from 3,000 years ago, to its war defense in 20th century, and to nowadays as one of the four prosperous municipalities in China. Step out from the museum and appreciate the People’s Assembly Hall, which is popular with fancy classical exterior design and was listed into the History of Architecture compiled in London in 1987!

Then, go to experience Chongqing Light Rail Line 2 from Huanghuayuan to Liziba Station (15 minutes’ riding) with the beautiful cityscape of streets, bridges, flyovers, and Jialing River. Get off at Liziba to watch the unbelievable view of a train traveling through a 19-floor building, a successful demonstration of Chongqing’s urban design.

After the visit, be transferred to your hotel at Xiannvshan Town (3-3.5 hours' drive) of Wulong County and help you check in. Have a sweet sleep!

Optional activity (extra payment): Watch “Impression Wulong” night show with real landscape background of Wulong and folk culture charm of Sichuan & Chongqing regions. It is directed by Zhang Yimou, a world-class movie director and the chief director of the opening and closing ceremonies of both Olympic Games 2008 and Winter Olympics 2022 in Beijing.

Day 2 Wulong - Chongqing (B, L)

After breakfast, your guide and driver will pick you up at your hotel. Today, you will explore Wulong Karst National Geological Park. Wulong Karst is well known for its giant dolines (sinkholes), natural bridges and caves, inscribed as a part of South China Karst UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007. Besides, it is the shooting location of the globally famous movie “Transformers IV”.

After arrival at Wulong Tourist Center, hop on a sightseeing bus to the largest natural bridge cluster in Asia - Three Natural Bridges, where you can appreciate exceptionally high natural bridges with long stretches of deep unroofed caves. Take the sightseeing elevator down to the valley bottom to marvel at the magnificent Karst Mountains, miraculous caves, beautiful waterfalls. Enjoy your hiking passing Tianlong Bridge, Tianfu Post House (shooting location of Zhang Yimou’s movie “The City of Golden Armor”), Qinglong Bridge and Heilong Bridge.

Then, take a sightseeing bus to Longshuixia Gap, a gap-style gorge and the important part of Wulong Karst. In this natural oxygen bar, enjoy 2 kilometers’ fun walking by One Line Sky, Dragon Pool Minoring the Moon, etc. and witness the steep cliffs on both sides, verdant original forests in the valley and mysterious waterfalls.

After the visiting, go back to Chongqing downtown and head to Hongya Cave to catch the symbolic view of Chongqing. The featured Ba & Shu regional wooden structures are tiered up to 11 floors on a hillside, creating a stunning sight with neon lights at night. Enjoy your leisure walk there and take some beautiful photos!

You can decide whether to enjoy dinner at Hongya Cave or be escorted to your hotel in Chongqing downtown / Chaotianmen Port for Yangtze River cruise embarkation. Tour ends!

Notice: The expected time of arrival in Chongqing is after 18:00 PM. If you plan to leave Chongqing that day, it is suggested book a flight or train after 20:00 PM. Our recommendation is to spend one extra night in Chongqing and depart the following day.
