Which Parks Does a Wulong Tour Visit?
Every Wulong day tour starts at the Three Natural Bridges. The choice of a second park is what separates the tours.
Three Natural Bridges
The three bridges, Tianlong, Qinglong and Heilong, stand together in a 1.2 km stretch of canyon, the largest group of natural bridges in Asia per the Chongqing local chronicles office. The visitor walking route runs 2,300 m. Tianlong Bridge is 235 m high and, the chronicles office says, the only double-arch natural bridge in the world.
The Tianfu Post courtyard stands 600 m from the scenic area entrance. The area is open 8:30 to 17:00 in May, 8:00 to 17:00 from June to August, and 8:30 to 16:30 from September to April. Wulong Karst Small-Group Day Tour from Chongqing gives it 1.5 hours on a 12-hour day.
Longshuixia Gorge
Longshuixia is a 5 km gorge, 200 to 500 m deep, under 1 m wide at its narrowest. The Wulong government puts the visitor route at about 2 km. A cliff-cut plank walkway runs along the gorge, with a waterfall and a chain of nine shoals and eighteen pools along the way.
Tours with this second stop are Three Natural Bridges and Longshuixia Gorge Day Trip, Wulong Karst English-Language Small-Group Tour, Wulong Karst Private Day Tour with Tickets and Wulong All-Inclusive Private Tour with Lunch.
Fairy Mountain
Fairy Mountain is a high grassland, with the big grassland at 1,950 m and the district's highest peak at 2,033 m. Entry runs 24 hours, with the attractions on a seasonal timetable of 8:30, 8:00 and 16:30 or 17:00 openings. The Chongqing government gives an average summer temperature of 22 C, and the chronicles office says the grassland is covered by snow four to five months a year.
Tours with this second stop are Wulong Karst and Fairy Mountain Small-Group Day Trip and Three Natural Bridges and Fairy Mountain Day Tour.
Furong Cave and Houping
Furong Cave has a visitor path of 1,860 m, and deep inside the temperature holds at 16.1 C. The Giant Curtain Waterfall inside is 30 m high and 21 m wide, 1,200 m along the route. The cave sits 21 km from Wulong town on the Furong River. Houping Tiankeng is one of the three karst systems named in the World Heritage listing.
Tours that add these are Wulong Private Day Tour with Furong Cave and Houping Tiankeng and the two-day 2-Day Wulong Tour: Bridges, Furong Cave, Boat and Show. Wulong Karst Small-Group Day Tour from Chongqing can also add Furong Cave as a third stop.
The Parks Side by Side
The table compares what you walk in each park, the peak-season first-gate price from the current Wulong District list, and the tours that stop there. Every tour visits the bridges, so the second park is the real choice.
| Park | What you walk | Gate price (peak) | Tours |
|---|---|---|---|
| Three Natural Bridges | 2,300 m walking route past the three bridges | $10.49 (¥70) | All tours |
| Longshuixia Gorge | About 2 km of plank walkway in a 5 km gorge | $8.24 (¥55) | Longshuixia day trip, English-language small group, private with tickets, all-inclusive private |
| Fairy Mountain | Open grassland with a sightseeing train | $7.49 (¥50) | Karst and Fairy Mountain day trip, bridges and Fairy Mountain day tour |
| Furong Cave and Houping | 1,860 m cave path plus the tiankeng area | $11.99 (¥80) | Furong Cave and Houping private day, 2-day tour, small-group day tour |
How the Day Fits Together
The parks are close by road but the driving adds up. From central Chongqing the ride is about 129 km, and every tour listing allows about 3 hours each way, so a day tour runs long. Three Natural Bridges with Longshuixia Gorge or Fairy Mountain picks up 07:00 to 07:30 and returns about 20:30, a 13-hour day. The two-day 2-Day Wulong Tour: Bridges, Furong Cave, Boat and Show spreads the parks over two days at $207 per person with a hotel night in Xiannüshan Town.

Wulong Tour or the Train on Your Own?
The high-speed train is now the fastest way from Chongqing to Wulong. A tour still buys you the car between parks, the order of the visits and, in most cases, the tickets.
The High-Speed Train
The high-speed rail section from Chongqing East to Qianjiang opened on 27 June 2025, with Wulong South station on the line. At the opening, 12306 listed five daily trains from Chongqing East to Wulong South, the fastest taking 34 minutes. An official summer report puts the trip from Chongqing's main city by high-speed rail at about one hour to the foot of Fairy Mountain, against three to four hours by car in traffic.
Independent summer travel grew fast after the opening, and Wulong district data show independent summer visitors up 54.42%.
By Road
The Wulong tourism area sits about 129 km from central Chongqing. The new expressway section from Banan to Wulong, 127 km long, opened on 2 January 2025 with a toll of about $15.29 (¥102) for a small car. Even so, every tour listing allows about 3 hours by car each way, which is why a day tour such as Three Natural Bridges with Longshuixia Gorge or Fairy Mountain runs 13 hours door to door.
The tour sells the driving, the guide and the sequence of parks so you do not arrange them yourself.
Tickets for Going Alone
Going alone, reserve park tickets through the official channels the district lists: the WeChat mini-program Wulong Karst Tourism Area, the WeChat public account Wulong Jingqu, and online platforms. Two bookable options cover the gates for travellers on their own. Three Natural Bridges or Longshuixia Gorge Ticket at $15 is the lowest price on the site and includes the shuttle bus and elevator at the bridges or the gorge. Wulong Tickets: Three Bridges, Fairy Mountain or Gorge at $27 sells one or two scenic-area tickets per option, with the shuttle, lift or Fairy Mountain train included per option. Neither includes transport from Chongqing.
Tour or Train Side by Side
The table compares four ways of making the trip, with times and prices from the tour listings and the official rail and road reports. The train fare is set at booking and is not listed here.
| Way to go | Time from Chongqing | What you book | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Train on your own | 34 minutes fastest, about one hour to Fairy Mountain's foot | Train ticket plus park tickets and park transfers | Fare at booking |
| Small-group day tour | About 3 hours by car each way, 12-hour day | Wulong Karst Small-Group Day Tour from Chongqing with guide and tickets | $100 per person |
| Private car day tour | About 3 hours by car each way, 10-11 hours | Wulong National Park Private Tour from Chongqing with car, driver-guide and lunch | $299 per group |
| Ticket only | Your own way to Wulong | Three Natural Bridges or Longshuixia Gorge Ticket with shuttle and elevator | $15 per person |
Which One Fits
If you want one day, no planning and the tickets handled, a guided day tour from Chongqing is the simple choice. The pick is Wulong Karst Small-Group Day Tour from Chongqing, $100 per person for 12 hours with an English-speaking guide, entry tickets for the sites you choose and free cancellation up to 24 hours ahead. If you have two days or travel light, take the train to Wulong South and book park tickets separately.

A Wulong Day Tour, Hour by Hour
A Wulong day tour is a long day, about 12 hours door to door, because the karst sits about 129 km from central Chongqing and every listing allows about 3 hours by car each way. Here is what the day actually looks like.
The Small-Group Day
The most-reviewed day tour is Three Natural Bridges with Longshuixia Gorge or Fairy Mountain at $122 per person, 13 hours, with pickup starting early. Its published stops run like this:
- 07:00-07:30 pickup at your Chongqing hotel entrance
- Stop at the Wujiang Gallery Scenic Viewpoint (20 minutes)
- Lunch at Wulong Fairy Town, paid at your own expense
- Tian Sheng Three Bridges Scenic Area (about 2 hours)
- Fairy Mountain National Forest Park or Longshui Gorge Fissure (about 2 hours)
- Drop-off at Jiefangbei, back in downtown Chongqing about 20:30
Three Parks in One Day
The pick of the page, Wulong Karst Small-Group Day Tour from Chongqing, packs three sites into 12 hours for $100 per person. The stops as listed:
- Car transfer from Yuzhong District, Chongqing (3 hours)
- Three Natural Bridges, guided visit (1.5 hours)
- Longshuixia Difeng, guided visit (1.5 hours)
- Furong Cave, guided visit (1 hour)
- Car transfer back to Chongqing (3 hours)
- Finish at Jiefangbei Pedestrian Street
Two Days Instead of One
If one day feels rushed, 2-Day Wulong Tour: Bridges, Furong Cave, Boat and Show splits the karst over two days for $207 per person. Day one covers a Furong River boat cruise after the cable car, free time at Jiangkou Ancient Town, Furong Cave (about 1 hour) and the Impression Wulong show (about 70 minutes). Day two covers Fairy Mountain forest park (about 1.5 hours), the Three Natural Bridges by shuttle bus (about 2 hours) and Longshui Gorge (about 1.5 hours) before returning to Chongqing.
For a slower trip, 4-Day Wulong Karst and Chongqing Tour at $699 per person starts at Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport, spends a day at Fairy Mountain with the small train, a day at the bridges with shuttle, elevator and electric vehicle, and a Chongqing city day before the airport transfer.

What Is Wulong Karst Famous For?
Wulong Karst is famous as the Chongqing component of the South China Karst, inscribed by UNESCO in 2007, and for its tiankeng giant collapse depressions and exceptionally high natural bridges. It is also a film location and the home of the Impression Wulong show.
A UNESCO Karst
UNESCO inscribed South China Karst on 27 June 2007 under natural criteria (vii) and (viii), one of seven karst clusters across four provinces. The Wulong component groups three core zones totalling 6,000 hectares. The three listed Wulong systems are Furong Cave, the Three Natural Bridges and the Houping erosional tiankeng.
UNESCO's criterion (vii) text names Wulong's tiankeng and the high natural bridges between them, and says the dolines and bridges record the history of the Yangtze river system.
On Film
The Tianfu Post courtyard at the Three Natural Bridges, 600 m from the scenic area entrance, was rebuilt in 2006 for Zhang Yimou's film Curse of the Golden Flower, which used the bridges as its only exterior location. The Chongqing government records that Transformers: Age of Extinction filmed at the Three Natural Bridges in 2014, which made Wulong known internationally.
Impression Wulong
Impression Wulong is a 70-minute live landscape show staged in the U-shaped Taoyuan Grand Canyon, about 9 km from Fairy Mountain town, with 2,688 seats at about 1,000 m altitude. It has run public performances since 2012, with Zhang Yimou as artistic adviser and close to 200 performers. If you want a seat without a full tour, the Impression Wulong Show Ticket sells the show seat at $50 per person, with no transport to the venue included.

What Does a Wulong Tour Price Cover?
Some Wulong tours include every park ticket, the shuttle bus and the cliff elevator. Others leave the tickets out, so the lowest tour price is not the lowest day.
Official Gate Prices
The Wulong District Culture and Tourism Commission publishes a current list of prices for the A-level scenic areas, shown below in dollars first. These are first-gate tickets only. An official notice from the Chongqing government states that a gate ticket does not include the transfer bus, battery car, cable car, elevator or small train, so those are separate charges inside the parks.
| Park | Peak season | Off season |
|---|---|---|
| Three Natural Bridges | $10.49 (¥70) | $6.00 (¥40) |
| Fairy Mountain | $7.49 (¥50) | $7.49 (¥50) |
| Furong Cave | $11.99 (¥80) | $9.74 (¥65) |
| Longshuixia Gorge | $8.24 (¥55) | $5.25 (¥35) |
| Furong River boat | $14.99 (¥100) | $14.99 (¥100) |

- On the Longshuixia day trip and the English-language small-group tour the guide stays with the vehicle and does not walk the parks with you.
- The Wulong National Park Private Tour from Chongqing is priced per group, and the Three Natural Bridges ticket and park battery car are extra.
- The Wulong Private Day Tour with Furong Cave and Houping Tiankeng is non-refundable.
- The base price of the Three Natural Bridges with Longshuixia Gorge or Fairy Mountain day has a Chinese-speaking driver, and an English guide is an option.

I recommend this activity. The scenery is beautiful, and the tour guide Joy was very nice. We saw the three areas without any time issues and enjoyed a local meal. The price is slightly high, but it's worth it.

Dos and Don'ts on a Wulong Tour
Do
- Do check whether your tour includes the park tickets, because on the Wulong National Park Private Tour, the Longshuixia day trip, the English-language small-group tour and the Furong Cave private day they are extra.
- Do book tickets ahead on the official channels, such as the Wulong Karst mini-program or Qunar, Meituan and Ctrip, because summer demand is high after the new rail line.
- Do wear grippy, non-slip walking shoes, because Longshuixia Gorge has wet cliff-cut plank walkways and stairs over its 2 km visitor route.
- Do bring an extra layer, because the Fairy Mountain grassland sits around 1,800 m and Furong Cave holds a steady 16.1 C inside.
Don't
- Don't assume the first-gate ticket covers everything, because an official notice says the transfer bus, battery car, cable car, elevator and small train are separate charges.
- Don't call Fengjie's Tiankeng Difeng scenic area the Wulong Tiankeng, because locally Wulong Tiankeng means the Three Natural Bridges, a different place.
- Don't count on a guide inside the parks on the Three Natural Bridges and Longshuixia Gorge Day Trip or the English-Language Small-Group Tour, because on both the English-speaking guide stays on the bus with the vehicle.
- Don't book the Private Day Tour with Furong Cave and Houping Tiankeng unless your date is fixed, because that listing is non-refundable with all sales final.
When Is the Best Time for a Wulong Tour?
The Wulong Karst parks are open all year, with three seasonal opening timetables and gate prices that drop off season. Any month works, so the choice is about crowds, weather and what you want to see.
Summer
Summer is the busiest season. The Chongqing government puts Fairy Mountain's average summer temperature at 22 C. After the high-speed rail opened, homestays on Fairy Mountain were reported fully booked early in July, so book ahead. The parks open at 8:00 and close at 17:00 from June to August, the longest hours of the year.
Peak-season gate prices apply: Three Natural Bridges $10.49 (¥70) at the first gate, Fairy Mountain $7.49 (¥50) and Furong Cave $11.99 (¥80).
Winter and Snow
The Fairy Mountain grassland is covered by ice and snow for four to five months a year, and the artificial ski area spans 120,000 square m. Winter is the season for that landscape. Off-season gate prices are lower: Three Natural Bridges $6.00 (¥40), Fairy Mountain $7.49 (¥50) and Furong Cave $9.74 (¥65).
From September to April the parks open at 8:30 and close at 16:30.
Opening Hours by Season
The table compares the seasonal opening hours of the two most-visited parks, taken from the Wulong District Culture and Tourism Commission's official scenic-area list. Fairy Mountain allows 24-hour entry all year, while its attractions follow the same seasonal timetable as the Three Natural Bridges. The list gives opening hours only, not last-entry times, so confirm last entry with the scenic area on 4000235666.
| Months | Three Natural Bridges | Fairy Mountain |
|---|---|---|
| May | 8:30-17:00 | 24-hour entry, attractions 8:30-17:00 |
| June to August | 8:00-17:00 | 24-hour entry, attractions 8:00-17:00 |
| September to April | 8:30-16:30 | 24-hour entry, attractions 8:30-16:30 |

Wulong Tours: Questions
Can you do a Wulong day trip from Chongqing?
Yes. The karst is about 129 km from central Chongqing and the day tours run about 10 to 13 hours door to door, like the 12-hour small-group day with tickets included. See the hour-by-hour plan under A Wulong Day Tour, Hour by Hour.
How much is a Wulong tour?
Guided day tours run from $90 per person with tickets extra to $299 per group for a private car. The pick is Wulong Karst Small-Group Day Tour from Chongqing at $100 per person with the entry tickets included.
Are park tickets included in a Wulong tour?
On some tours yes and on some no, which is the key difference between listings. Wulong All-Inclusive Private Tour with Lunch at $199.50 covers every entry ticket and the scenic elevators, while cheaper tours leave the tickets out.
How do I get from Chongqing to Wulong by train?
The high-speed line from Chongqing East to Wulong South opened with five daily trains, the fastest in 34 minutes. An official report puts Chongqing to the foot of Fairy Mountain at about one hour by rail versus three to four hours by car. The tours still sell the car, as on Three Natural Bridges with Longshuixia Gorge or Fairy Mountain.
Which is better, Longshuixia Gorge or Fairy Mountain?
Longshuixia is a 5 km fissure gorge up to 500 m deep with plank walkways, while Fairy Mountain is a 100 square km grassland forest park at 1,650 to 2,033 m. Several tours let you pick, like Three Natural Bridges with Longshuixia Gorge or Fairy Mountain.
How long do you need at the Three Natural Bridges?
The listings allow about 1.5 to 2 hours on the 2,300 m walking route. See the timings in A Wulong Day Tour, Hour by Hour.
Is Wulong Tiankeng the same as the Three Natural Bridges?
Locally, yes: the Wulong government says the name Wulong Tiankeng means the Three Natural Bridges, not the separate Fengjie Tiankeng Difeng scenic area. The geology is explained under What Is Wulong Karst Famous For?.
Was Transformers filmed in Wulong?
Yes. The Chongqing government records that Transformers: Age of Extinction filmed at the Three Natural Bridges, and Curse of the Golden Flower used the Tianfu Post courtyard there. More under What Is Wulong Karst Famous For?.
