Daily Itinerary
Arrive in Chongqing, meet the confirmed airport or railway-station transfer and check in at the hotel. Keep the evening flexible after the journey and allow time to adjust to the city's slopes and layered streets. The 5-day Chongqing Dazu private tour begins its guided sightseeing on day two with Ciqikou, Bai Mansion, Zhazidong, Liziba and Hongya Cave, following the order set around traffic and opening hours.
Begin with Ciqikou Ancient Town, Bai Mansion and Zhazidong, then continue to the Liziba monorail viewpoint and Jiefangbei. Finish at Hongya Cave after dark if the day's pace and traffic allow. Expect steps, slopes and short vehicle transfers between districts.
See Chongqing from the river and the air by combining a local Yangtze ferry with a one-way cableway crossing. Operating hours, queues and weather can change the order. Use the remaining time for the connected riverfront areas rather than adding an unlisted distant attraction.
Leave Chongqing for Dazu and visit the Beishan and Baodingshan rock-carving areas. Allow time for the principal grottoes, local transfers and the required scenic shuttles. Return to Chongqing in the evening after the cultural day trip.
Check out and transfer to Chongqing Airport or railway station according to the confirmed service. Keep a practical buffer for hillside traffic, luggage and terminal formalities. No additional ticketed visit is scheduled on the departure day.
