How to book
Use the official Wulong scenic-area platform or the staffed visitor centre for the exact Three Natural Bridges product; the government page is context, not a booking confirmation.
The official pages do not publish a fixed advance-booking window; check the selected date's inventory and operating notice.
Booking steps
- 1
Open the official Wulong platform and select Three Natural Bridges, not Longshuixia Fissure or Furong Cave.
- 2
Check the operating notice, date, ticket, shuttle and any internal transfer product together.
- 3
If the online form does not accept a passport, take the original passport to the staffed visitor-centre window before payment or entry.
- 4
Save the product name and the exact transfer entrance for the booked date.
Passport acceptance for this exact product is not fully exposed on the cited pages; carry the original passport and use the staffed route.
If the selected product is unavailable, follow the official operating notice and ask the visitor centre about the next available date; do not substitute another Wulong entrance.
About 3-4 hours inside the scenic area; a full day round-trip from downtown Chongqing
How to visit
Fairy Mountain resort visitor centre (buy tickets/transfer here first), then take a sightseeing bus or taxi (about ¥8–10) to the attraction entrance and descend by sightseeing elevator to the valley floor.
Leave Wulong Three Natural Bridges from the side closest to the next stop; check the transport note: Use high-speed rail to Wulong South or a direct tourist coach, then transfer to the Xiannüshan Town visitor center. Keep the final section easy enough for a calm return.

Best time
In summer (Jun–Aug) enter at the 8:00 opening to avoid the afternoon tour-group peak; arrive early in peak season and holidays.
Foreigner notes
Online mobile payment is the main method; on-site cash capability is unverified. A platform snapshot hints payment methods of mobile/cash/internationalCard (a lead), not officially confirmed.
The iChongqing English page introduces the Wulong Karst park background; English signage/tours at the scenic area are unverified.
For Wulong Three Natural Bridges, save 重庆武隆天生三桥风景区 and 仙女山街道银杏大道32号 in the map app; a broad venue pin may stop short of the visitor gate.
A dated scenic-area ticket is the practical route, but the current official pages do not fully document the foreign-passport booking flow.
For Wulong Three Natural Bridges, the usual crowd pattern is only a planning hint; check the day's notice and the queue at the gate.
Avoid these mistakes
Routes close temporarily in heavy rain/fog, wasting the trip. Call the official line 400-023-5666 or check Wulong Tourism Network notices before leaving; services resumed on 2026-06-08 and are weather-sensitive.
Mistakenly buying a ticket without the transfer or a wrong combo. The official fare includes transit ¥40 + the Tianlong spiral elevator ¥45; look for the 'ticket + transit + elevator' product (¥155 in peak season), not one-day-package prices.
Peak season (Mar–Oct) and holiday queues. Enter at the 8:00 opening; weekdays are better.
The exit electric cart and glass observation deck are extra-charge items that add up on site. Know in advance: cart ¥15, glass deck ¥40—choose as needed.
Running out of return time and missing the last train. Reserve time for the fissure-exit scenic bus back to the visitor centre, then the ~¥10 blue bus to Wulong station; finish the fissure tour before 17:00.
