Chongqing one-day round trip to Wulong Tiankeng and Difeng, this is the smoothest time planning

Wulong is Chongqing's most popular distant suburban tourist destination, mainly including Tian Sheng San Qiao (Tiankeng), Longshui Gorge Difeng, and Fairy Mountain. Many friends travel back and forth on weekends, how much time is needed? Is one day enough for a round trip? This guide calculates it in detail. Chongqing ↔ Wulong Fairy Mountain Visitor Center 🚍 Bus: The direct tourist bus from Jiefangbei to the visitor center, about 70 yuan one way, departs at 7:30 and arrives at the visitor center around 10:30, and returns at 17:30. 🔹 There are also direct tourist buses at stations such as the Four Kilometers Tourist Distribution Center, or you can take a passenger bus to Wulong District and transfer by yourself. Ordinary passenger buses are cheaper but require a transfer in Wulong District. 🚆 Train: From Chongqing North Station to Wulong Station, about 2 hours, 22 yuan, seamless transfer to the visitor center bus after exiting Wulong Station, 30 minutes, 10 yuan. 🛩️ Plane: Chongqing Airport to Fairy Mountain Airport, 1 hour, go in the afternoon, return at midnight, the timing is not very good, and you still need to transfer from the airport to the visitor center. ✅ Tiankeng + Difeng one-day round trip ​10:30 Arrive at the visitor center, have lunch. 11:30 Take the shuttle bus to Tiankeng, tour duration 1.5-2h. 13:30 Exit Tiankeng and take the shuttle bus to Difeng, enter Difeng at 14:00, tour duration 1-1.5h, exit the scenic area at 15:30. 16:00 Take the shuttle bus back to the visitor center, have another meal, and easily catch the 17:30 return bus. If you play late, you can also take the 19:00 train or the 21:00 plane. Tiankeng and Difeng are each a line, and they are all flat and downhill roads, so the tour is very fast. The above time is already at a relatively slow speed. According to the above schedule, even if you walk down Tiankeng or queue for the elevator within 1 hour, the time is still quite sufficient. However, summer is the peak season, and 11 o'clock is the peak time for crowds, so it is possible that the elevator queue will be longer, which requires flexible response. Try not to be too late when exiting Tiankeng, and try not to give up Difeng (ticket inspection stops at 16:30), because Difeng and Tiankeng have different styles. It is enough to visit these twin scenic spots in one day. If you miss the 17:30 return bus, take the train. The efficiency of the shuttle bus at the train station is very high, you just need to get the train ticket. As long as you can return to the visitor center by 18:00 at the latest, you can definitely catch the last train back to Chongqing at 19:00 (buy the ticket in advance). Or you can take the bus to Fairy Mountain Airport and take the 22:00 plane. ✅ Two-day round trip After finishing the Tiankeng and Difeng tour on the first day, stay in Fairy Mountain Town, and on the second day, take the bus from the visitor center to Fairy Mountain Forest Park for a tour, then return to Chongqing, with plenty of time. If you go to Furong Cave on the second day, because it is not in the same direction, you need to return to Wulong City first. One day is also very sufficient to tour Furong Cave. In addition, Wulong also has attractions such as Impression Wulong, Tiankeng Village, and Baima Mountain. 💡 Actually, for a two-day tour, it is recommended to visit Fairy Mountain on the first day and enter Tiankeng and Difeng earlier on the second day, so there are fewer people and no queue for the elevator, making it more relaxed. ❤️ Summary: For a weekend round trip, you can take either the direct tourist bus or the train, both take about the same time on the road, and the train is cheaper. The return time of the direct bus is relatively early, but generally, you can catch it. If you can't catch it, you can take the train (be sure to buy the train ticket in advance). Driving by yourself is also possible but more tiring. 🔹 Personally, I recommend taking at least one train ride, as you can see the beautiful scenery of the Wujiang River and the Yangtze River on the train.
