6 Chongqing Tours to Build a Day Around

1.Chongqing Wulong National Park Private Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 87 reviews Our pick

Review of Chongqing’s private Wulong tour, with UNESCO karst bridges, a 108-meter elevator, local lunch, costs, walking, and practical tips.

“Legend was excellent for our trip to Wulong Karst. He was on time, so friendly, full of interesting things to tell us, and knew all the insider tips to make our trip that much better. He was also so patient and kind with my kid. The lunch was fabulous with a great variety, but be warned, Chongqing's "not spicy" is a different scale than North American "not spicy"!! We would 100% recommend Legend for Wulong or any other trip you are considering from Chongqing.”

Cruise Chongqing’s Yangtze and Jialing rivers at night for skyline views, light shows, onboard commentary, and easy photo stops from Hongyadong Pier.

6.4D3N Yangtze River Victoria Cruise: Chongqing to Yichang

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 9 reviews · 4 hours - 4 days · from $647

Cruise from Chongqing to Yichang through the Three Gorges, with scenic shore trips, friendly service, Chinese meals, and a Three Gorges Dam visit.

“Tour along the Yangtze river was a great experience. Food was amazing. Soft drinks and juices are included in lunch/dinner, so skip the drinking packages, they are not worth it. Drinks and cocktails are cheap anyway and there‘s not enough time in between to enjoy all of these flat rates. Staff is really friendly and helpful. However, if you enroll in all the excursions, get some drinks in the bar in the evening and the luggage transportation, be prepared to spend another good amount on the cruise ship 😅 Bring some cash for the guys that transport your luggage from the pier to the ship (there are hundreds of steps)…”
