The Wulong day trip in short
We are a licensed local travel agency in Chongqing (licence L-CQ-100787) and we run Wulong as a private day trip: at 7:00 we pick you up at your hotel in the main city, you see the Three Natural Bridges and Longshui Gorge, and you are back at Jiefangbei at about 20:00. For 1–4 guests the 2026 price is ¥2,600 per group, with a 7-seat MPV, driver and English-speaking guide; entrance tickets are booked at the price posted on the day and paid separately. Send us your date and group size on WhatsApp and we reply with a written itinerary and total.
How the day runs
| Time | What happens |
|---|---|
| 7:00 | Pickup at your hotel in the main city of Chongqing |
| About 10:00 | Arrive at the Three Natural Bridges. A lift takes you down into the valley; you walk past the three stone bridges, and the guide keeps the shuttles and the timed walking route on schedule |
| Lunch | Near the park, at your own cost. The guide orders for you, and it can be made not spicy |
| Afternoon | Longshui Gorge, a narrow canyon walk. It can be swapped for Furong Cave, or skipped for an earlier return |
| About 16:30 | Leave before the park closes |
| About 20:00 | Back at Jiefangbei, in time for the Hongya Cave lights |
From September to April the scenic areas are open 8:30–16:30 (later from May to August), which is why the day starts at 7:00 and runs about 13 hours. If you would rather not do it in one day, stay a night and see Fairy Mountain the next morning: see the two-day version below.

Who takes you, and how to book
Your guide is licensed, from Chongqing and speaks English; your driver drives. Booking takes three steps: send your date, group size and hotel on WhatsApp or the form; receive a written itinerary and total, free; pay a deposit to lock in the date, then sign a written contract and pay the balance after you arrive in China. Rules: payment and cancellation.
Rather not do it in one day? The two-day version
An overnight near Wulong adds Furong Cave, the Fairy Mountain meadows and a gentler pace. This is how the two days run.
Chongqing to Wulong and the Three Natural Bridges
We drive from Chongqing to Wulong and head to the Three Natural Bridges, a valley of giant stone arches used as a film location. A lift takes you down into the karst valley, and your guide keeps the shuttle and timed walking routes running smoothly.
Optional Furong Cave, then return or overnight
If time and energy allow, we add Furong Cave, a large show cave nearby. As a day trip we then drive back to Chongqing; if you would rather slow down, we stop overnight near Wulong to keep the day comfortable.
Fairy Mountain highlands, then back to Chongqing
On the overnight option we spend a relaxed morning at Fairy Mountain, a highland meadow area that stays cooler in summer and suits slower photography. We then drive back to Chongqing at an easy pace.
Who this guide is for
Travellers searching for Wulong, Three Natural Bridges or nature day trips from Chongqing.

Questions travellers ask
Yes. A private day trip is efficient and covers the Three Natural Bridges, but it makes for a long day with an early start. If you prefer a gentler pace, a weather buffer, or want to add Furong Cave or Fairy Mountain, we suggest an overnight route instead.
Wulong involves real outdoor walking, not just a viewpoint. Expect park paths, shuttle rides and some step sections, with a lift down into the valley at the Three Natural Bridges. We match the route to your slowest walker and slow the pace or trim add-ons where needed.
Your private vehicle and driver handle the transfer from Chongqing and back, so there is no shared coach or self-driving. Inside the park you use the official shuttles, lifts and timed walking routes, and your guide keeps that timing smooth so you spend more time on the scenery.
Spring and autumn are the most comfortable. Summer is hot in Chongqing city, but the mountain areas such as Fairy Mountain stay cooler, while winter is colder and can be misty. Rain and mist can change the day, so our local team adjusts timing and add-ons on the ground.
Yes. Wulong pairs naturally with a wider Chongqing itinerary. Dazu, with its gentler Rock Carvings, is a good lower-walking companion, and Zhangjiajie can be added as an onward extension for more karst and pillar scenery. We build these as one seamless private route.
Send your travel dates, group size and hotel level, and we will prepare a free custom itinerary with a clear price range; day-trip and overnight options save versus booking the pieces separately. To confirm, we take a deposit and settle the balance in person in China after you arrive and sign your written tour contract, with all details set out in writing.
Pickup is at 7:00 from your hotel in the main city, and you are back at Jiefangbei at about 20:00. From May to August the park closes later, so the start can be a little later.
For 1–4 guests it is ¥2,600 per group in 2026, covering the car, driver and English-speaking guide. Entrance tickets and park shuttles are booked at the price posted on the day and paid separately.
Yes. Longshui Gorge is the default. It can be swapped for Furong Cave, or you can see the Three Natural Bridges only and head back to the city earlier.
