A private 5-day Chongqing loop: old-town stairways, the Yangtze cable car, pandas, and a day in the Wulong karst gorges.
Per person, based on 6 guests sharing 3 twin rooms for 4 nights, with private car and driver, all listed tickets and insurance.
Is this trip right for you?
- Families travelling with grandparents and children: late starts, private car between sights, one hotel for all four nights
- Travellers who like city street life, old neighbourhoods and night photography
- Anyone who wants Chongqing city and the Wulong karst in five days without planning transport themselves
- Travellers who want five or six sights a day and a tight schedule
- Guests who need step-free access throughout: Baixiangju has no lift and the gorge boardwalks have many steps
- People who dislike heat, humidity and hills — Chongqing is hot and steep in summer
- Baixiangju: a 24-storey residential block with no lift, entrances on floors 1, 10 and 15
- The Yangtze cable car, running since 1987, 1,166 m across the river in about 4.5 minutes
- Tiansheng Sanqiao and Longshuixia, core of the South China Karst World Natural Heritage site
Day by day, with real numbers
Switch to the gentle version to see what changes for grandparents and kids.
The whole trip stays low: the highest night is 250 m and the highest point is 1,200 m.
The driver waits at arrivals with your name and takes you to the hotel. The rest of the day is yours: walk from Jiefangbei down to Hongyadong for the first night view, or simply rest at the hotel.
