Gongtan's riverside stilted houses framed by the Wu River valley

Two-day private tour

Wulong & Gongtan — From Karst Valleys to a Wu River Town

Cross from Wulong's karst country into southeastern Chongqing over two private days. Day 1 combines Three Natural Bridges with your selected second landscape before the drive to Gongtan; Day 2 follows the old town, the Wu River and Chiyou Jiuli City back toward Chongqing.

Duration2 days / 1 night
Group size1–6 guests
Mandarin-speaking driver · fromFrom ¥3,100Mandarin-speaking driver from ¥3,100 · English-speaking driver +¥300 / group, subject to availability

Elias arranges your two-day trip and confirms the team before your deposit. The standard option is a Mandarin-speaking driver, who may use a translation app for simple communication. An English-speaking driver costs ¥300 more per group, subject to availability. Driver-only service is transport and practical coordination, not guided visits. Add a separate licensed English-speaking guide for both days at ¥2,000 per group (¥1,000 per day × 2), above the Mandarin-driver base price. This covers both confirmed Wulong scenic areas on Day 1 and the Day 2 itinerary; both days are booked together. Your guide may be Elias or another trusted licensed guide; Elias personally guiding requires written confirmation. Any alternative service and price must be agreed with you before payment.

  • The standard option is a Mandarin-speaking driver, who may use a translation app for simple communication. Driver-only service is not a guided tour. English-speaking drivers cost ¥300 more per group, subject to availability. Any alternative with a separate English guide and its total price needs your agreement before payment.

  • The displayed group price and selected guide supplement include fuel, standard tolls, parking and all assigned staff operating and overnight costs. Guests do not pay a separate staff allowance.
