Quick Answer
A 3-day private tour that pairs Chongqing city with a full day in Wulong Karst, run by one local team from airport pickup to departure. Day 1: city icons ending at Hongyadong's lights. Day 2: Three Natural Bridges in Wulong. Day 3: slower old-Chongqing — Ciqikou or the shelter tunnels and museums — timed to your flight or train. You sleep in Chongqing throughout [or upgrade day 2 to the Wulong overnight version].

Who This Fits

- Photographers: day 1 dusk and day 2 morning light are placed where they are on purpose.
FAQ
- Three days in Chongqing — too much? No. One day only scratches the postcards; day two is a UNESCO landscape three hours away; day three is where the city stops performing and starts explaining itself. Most guests tell us day three was the surprise.
- Can the days run in a different order? Yes — if your arrival is late we start with the slow day. Your guide confirms the final order in writing before the deposit.
- Add a Yangtze cruise after? We don't operate cruise bookings , but we'll time your last day to the Chaotianmen dock and tell you honestly which ships locals rate.
