Chongqing Wushan | Four Days Three Nights Practical Guide
Last month I went to Chongqing Wushan for four days and three nights, with a total cost of about 1500 yuan. I found that Wushan is a place with few people and beautiful scenery. The grilled fish is very delicious, suitable for friends who like niche attractions. Here is my itinerary for reference.
Day One:
Take the high-speed train from Chongqing to Wushan, the fare is 200 yuan, and the journey takes two hours. Stay in the Quanji Hotel in the county town, clean and hygienic, you can see the river view, the price is more than 300 yuan (less than 200 per capita).
Visit Wushan Museum in the afternoon, where there are the earliest human fossils in China - Wushan Man fossils, and many treasures of the town hall.
In the evening, go to the pier to eat the most authentic Chongqing grilled fish Wushan grilled fish, the taste is super good, even I, a Guangdong person who doesn't like spicy food, can't stop eating, it can be said that it is the best grilled fish I have ever eaten.
After dinner, continue to take a boat at the pier to experience the Three Gorges Night Tour, the fare is 98 yuan, although the night view of the mountain city is not as atmospheric as Shanghai and Guangzhou, but combined with mountains and rivers, and clouds and fog, it is very dreamy and wonderful.
Day Two:
After breakfast at the hotel, go to the pier to take a boat to tour the Little Three Gorges, the fare is 120 yuan (including the ticket for the Little Little Three Gorges), the whole journey is 4 hours. This is one of the earliest 5A scenic spots in China, composed of Longmen Gorge, Ba Fog Gorge, and Dripping Green Gorge. The mountains and valleys along the way are crisscrossed, sometimes with flying waterfalls, sometimes with hanging coffins, and four hours passed unconsciously.
Return to the county town for lunch at noon, and then go to the Goddess Scenic Area. The Goddess Sky Road is very spectacular. You can see the Yangtze River winding from the foot to the distance. You can experience the artistic conception of the poem 'A lone sail is far away in the blue sky, only the Yangtze River flows to the end of the sky'.
After watching the sunset, stay in a homestay near the watchtower. The conditions are very good, spacious and clean, and dinner and breakfast are also eaten at the homestay.
Day Three:
Go to the watchtower in the morning to watch the sunrise of the Goddess Peak. If you are lucky, it will be very spectacular. Unfortunately, it was cloudy when we went there, but fortunately there was a sea of clouds, which was like a fairyland.
Leave the Goddess Sky Road scenic area and go to the Goddess Peak. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can overlook all the small mountains, which is very spectacular. If it is in mid to late November when the leaves are red, it will be more beautiful.
In the afternoon, take a boat to tour the Goddess Creek, watch the Goddess Peak up close, and stay in a homestay by the river. Dinner and breakfast are also eaten at the homestay.
Day Four:
Watch the sunrise of the Goddess Peak in the morning, and after breakfast, take a boat back to the county town, and then go to Dachang Ancient Town, and return in the afternoon.
If you have time, you can go to Xiaozhuang, a village that has been isolated from the world for a long time. When we went to Wushan, the road was closed due to continuous rain and road collapse, so we didn't go.
The above is the four-day and three-night guide to Wushan. If you have any questions, you can leave a message. If you want to know more travel guides, welcome to follow Mango Travel Diary.

Wushan Mini Three Gorges
In the Three Gorges area of the Yangtze River, in addition to the Great Three Gorges, there is also the famous Wushan Mini Three Gorges. In terms of gorge scenery, Wushan Mini Three Gorges is not inferior to the Yangtze River Three Gorges. It is located in the Daning River, a tributary of the Yangtze River, and is composed of Longmen Gorge, Bawu Gorge, and Dicui Gorge. Although there is a 'mini' in the name, its influence is not small at all. It is the first batch of 5A-level tourist attractions in the country and also the earliest 5A scenic spot in Chongqing.

When the mountains are full of red leaves - Wushan Three Gorges Red Leaves Free Travel Guide. The movie 'When the Mountains are Full of Red Leaves' once told us 'The mountains are full of red leaves like rosy clouds, and the red leaves reflect the Three Gorges every year.' Tang Dynasty poet Yuan Zhen also didn't deceive us 'It's hard to be water once you've been to the sea, except for Wushan, it's not a cloud.' The Three Gorges red leaves have been very famous since ancient times. Because the older generation has grown old, the Three Gorges red leaves have not been well promoted in the era of self-media. And the best place to view the Three Gorges red leaves is on both sides of the Wuxia in Wushan. The north bank is mainly based on Wenfeng Guan, mainly Huang Lu, with a super large scale and exaggerated red. The south bank is mainly based on the Goddess Scenic Area, mainly colorful forests and fiery red Huang Lu intertwined. Tour suggestions:
D1, Wushan high-speed rail to Wenfeng Guan, directly from the high-speed rail station to Wenfeng Guan Visitor Center, just over ten kilometers. The ticket is 40 yuan, and the high-speed rail ticket can be half price. The area near the Zhen Shui Tower is a classic check-in location, with red leaves all over the mountain, like a fiery red carpet laid on the entire mountain. After checking in, keep climbing up to Wenfeng Guan, turn right and cross the road and then go up to the mountain top trail. Overlooking Wuxia, the beauty and shock of Wuxia are indescribable. Then return to the visitor center, take the scenic area shuttle bus back to the city for check-in. In the evening, you can eat Wushan grilled fish, paper-wrapped fish, the taste is absolutely right, the average consumption is 30-50.
D2, arrive at Wushan Visitor Center at 10 o'clock in the morning and take the bus to Liuping to visit the Goddess Sky Road, about 40 minutes. Sightseeing car + Huangyan cable car ticket 75. The Goddess Sky Road from Liuping to Huangyan Visitor Center is a total of 12 kilometers. All the way through the colorful forest, you can enjoy Wuxia up close. The sightseeing car can stop at several important check-in points. After visiting the Goddess Sky Road, you arrive at the Huangyan Cableway, take the downhill cableway to check in at the Red Leaf Slope. The red leaves of the Red Leaf Slope mainly play a foreground role. On the more than one kilometer plank road, you take photos with red leaves as the foreground. I dare say you have never encountered such a beautiful foreground. It's so beautiful, it's so red. After visiting the Red Leaf Slope, take the cableway uphill, then take the scenic area electric sightseeing car back to Liuping, and then take the bus back to the city.
tips1: The Goddess Scenic Area on the south bank of Wuxia mainly plays colorful forests, among which the Red Leaf Slope mainly plays Huang Lu red leaves. And the Wenfeng Guan Scenic Area on the north bank mainly plays Huang Lu red leaves. Whether on the north or south bank, the view of the Three Gorges is at the ceiling level.
tips2: There is no need to book a hotel in advance! There is no need to book a hotel in advance! There is no need to book a hotel in advance! Say it three times for important things. Because Wushan city is very close to the scenic area, there are many accommodation resources, and it is cheaper to go directly to the hotel than to book online, and there are more choices. After all, there is a platform draw for online booking, and this part of the cost is naturally transferred to the passengers. A passable hotel standard room can be obtained for about 150.
tips3: It's very cold in the morning, Wenfeng Guan is 700-1000 meters above sea level, and the Goddess Sky Road is about 1000 meters above sea level. Please be sure to bring an extra piece of clothing, just in case.
tips4: The red leaves are now at their best! Don't believe in the wait-and-see party, saying that the best viewing period for red leaves is not until mid-December. Maybe there are still some in Wenfeng Guan in mid-December, but the Goddess Scenic Area has already fallen off.
Note: p1-p7 Wenfeng Guan Scenic Area. p8-p11, Goddess Scenic Area Red Leaf Slope. p12-p18, Goddess Scenic Area Goddess Sky Road

Wushan County 🇨🇳 Chongqing
Wushan County didn't appear in many reviews or tourist blogs, but it should!!!
It's easy to get to on the fast train from Chongqing and there are taxi's available at the station and in the town's.
First up we went on the tourist boat through the three gorges, it took just under 2 hours and the views were amazing. (I'd recommend a few cold bottles of water for the boat). The boat then arrives at Dachang ancient town, where you can get tasty local treats and relax by the water. The tourist boat returns quite quickly (15/20 mins). We managed to take the locals boat back to Wushan as we wanted to explore a bit longer.
Once back in Wushan town, there are so many choices, you can head to the mountain side temples, pagodas at the top of the peaks or grab a barrel of Pina colada, at what appeared to be the only non-ktv bar around.
We opted for the mountain top pagoda for sunset and a barrel of coconut cocktail 🍹

Beautiful scenery at WuShan.
We visited 巫山小山峡, 神女天路, 三峡龙脊 and 文峰景区。
It will be ideal to come during December as this is also the time you will be able to witness a mountain fill with 红叶🍁. When we arrive, we didn’t get to witness it as the weather wasn’t cold enough.
Just a note, the cruise ride to 巫山小山峡 is a 4 hours ride. Along the way you will change to a smaller boat to tour around 小小山峡. There is only 2 timing for this 4 hours cruise ride (9am and 2pm).

Wushan Small Three Gorges - Bawu Gorge.
Bawu Gorge is the second gorge of the Small Three Gorges, stretching 10 km from Dongpingba to Taiping Beach. Named after the Bawu River, a tributary within the gorge, it is also known as Iron Coffin Gorge or Guanyin Gorge. The gorge is characterized by towering peaks, jagged rocks, and tranquil green waters. The stalactites, resembling humans, objects, or animals, are vivid and are considered natural sculptures. At the western entrance of the gorge, the words "Bawu Gorge" are carved into a stone wall, with a black-brown stone relief resembling a turtle embedded in it. This area is known as Turtle Beach. From Turtle Beach to Shuanglong, the gorge stretches 10 km, featuring high mountains, deep valleys, misty clouds, dense stalactites, and peculiar rocks. The winding paths and unexpected turns have earned it the nickname "Amazing Bawu Gorge." The most captivating feature of Bawu Gorge is the hanging coffins. Research indicates that the practice of hanging coffins began in the Western Zhou Dynasty and ended in the Ming Dynasty. According to local customs, the higher the ancestors are buried, the more filial the descendants are. Some hanging coffins, over 2,000 years old, remain intact, a rarity both domestically and internationally. The gorge also features attractions such as Monkeys Fishing for the Moon, Horse Returning to the Mountain, Tiger Emerging, Dragon Entering, Huilong Cave, Fairy Throwing Embroidery Balls, Fairy Peach Peak, Guanyin Sitting on a Lotus Platform, Pigsy Worshiping Guanyin, and Hanging Coffins.

Don't miss this place when you visit Wushan. Highly recommended!
I wouldn't have believed there was such a paradise-like homestay in the mountains if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes and experienced it myself.
I was surprised and amazed 💯
So I thought I'd share this guide so that more people visiting Wushan would know about this place 😄
🕥 Date of visit: November 22–23, 2024 (2 days and 1 night)
🚩 Location: Xiaosanxia, Wushan, Chongqing - Muyan Homestay
I've always wanted to visit Wushan, not for anything else, but for the artistic conception of "Once you've seen the sea, no other water will do; except for Wushan, no other clouds will do."
👉 Day 1:
Take a boat from the visitor center to Xiaosanxia, see the cliffs on both sides of the river, the hanging coffins, the Sleeping Beauty Peak... and feel the magic of nature 📸.
In the evening, taste the famous Wushan paper-wrapped fish 🐬, and after a tour, call Muyan Homestay, and they will send a car to pick you up.
It takes about 40 minutes to get there, and the road is winding all the way.
To be honest, I was a little worried on the way there. Would there be a good room in such a remote place? When I got there, I felt like I was slapped in the face.
It's not an exaggeration to say that this is a paradise 👍 See the pictures 👀
👉 Day 2:
After a good night's sleep, I wandered around the area and experienced the local culture 👣
I felt like I was returning to nature.
The itinerary depends on your personal experience. But this homestay is really great.
To sum it up:
✔ The homestay offers car pick-up and drop-off, so you don't have to worry about getting a taxi.
✔ There is a bathtub, and you can take a bath. There is even an outdoor infinity pool, which is great if you come in summer.
✔ The fruits and drinks in the room are free, so you can eat them as you like.
✔ Breakfast is free, but it is not served after 10:00 am, so don't miss it. It's delicious.
✔ There is a small café where you can take a break.
✔ The Wilderness Theater is a great place to check in and a great place to take photos.
✔ Don't worry about not having internet. The Wi-Fi is open and password-free, so you can access the internet anytime.
You can add more after you visit.
In short, although the trip was short and a bit of a whirlwind, it did fulfill my wish to visit Wushan.

Chongqing! I found the happiest place.
🏞️ Wushan, Chongqing | Muyawu Mountain B&B, a fairyland-like experience✨
📍Location: It is located in Yingzuya Village, Liuping Village, Jianping Township, Wushan County, Chongqing, diagonally opposite the Goddess Peak. The location is excellent, offering a panoramic view of the Yangtze River and Wushan.
🌳Environment and design:
- The B&B is located on the edge of a cliff. The stone walls are made of stones, and the exterior walls are made of earth and wood, full of primitive architectural aesthetics, perfectly integrated with the surrounding natural environment, as if it grew out of nature.
- There are supporting facilities such as a cloud cafe☕, an infinity pool🏊♀️, a cloud viewing platform, and a wilderness theater. Whether you are enjoying the misty peaks on the opposite side by the pool or reading a book in front of the wilderness theater, it is super comfortable.
🛏Rooms:
- The guest room names are very poetic, named after the trees planted by the residents, such as pomegranate, phoenix tree, and love tree, each with its own charm.
- Inside the room, the soft big bed faces the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the beautiful scenery of the Three Gorges Valley is right in front of the window. Lying on the bed, you can enjoy the ink painting drawn by the clouds in the mountains and the rivers in the valley, which is very healing.
- The guest rooms are fully equipped with air conditioning, floor heating, and dehumidifiers, as well as Geneva sound systems, mini refrigerators, tea sets, etc. The linen and facilities are comparable to those of a five-star luxury hotel in the city.
🍽Dining: The B&B offers authentic meals and exquisite coffee drinks. In the outdoor restaurant with large floor-to-ceiling windows, you can enjoy the local flavors of Wushan while enjoying the beautiful mountain scenery, which is a real treat.
📸Check-in point:
- The cliff pool is definitely a popular check-in spot. Here you can overlook the Yangtze River, feel the rolling river under your feet, and take amazing photos.
- There is also a swing on the edge of the cliff. Sitting on it, you can feel the mountain breeze blowing on your face and interact with the cute goats. It is very interesting, and you can take great photos.
💁♀️Service: The staff is enthusiastic and thoughtful. Whether it is the pick-up service or the daily room service, it makes people feel at home.
💰Price: Although the price is relatively high, a villa has 3 rooms, and each room costs about CNY 2,000 per night, it is really worth it to experience such a unique view and high-quality service.

Cameras can't capture the beauty of Wu Gorge.
It's hard to say which of the Three Gorges is the most beautiful. But Wu Gorge is definitely the most beautiful in winter, because it's the season of red leaves.
Plan at least two days to visit Wu Gorge. Longji of the Three Gorges, Goddess Sky Road, overlooking from top to bottom. Xiaohong Boat at the Ancient City Wharf, Xiaosanxia Cruise at the Yangtze River Ferry Wharf, looking up from bottom to top. Each of the four routes takes half a day. You can combine them freely.
It is recommended to go to Wenfeng Scenic Area to climb Longji of the Three Gorges in the morning of the first day. Take a taxi to the visitor center of Wenfeng Scenic Area, and walk a few hundred meters to the viewing platform. Then follow the Longji Trail all the way to the best place to see red leaves - Zhenshui Tower. Then walk down from Zhenshui Tower to the entrance by the Yangtze River Bridge. This route is the most time-saving and labor-saving. Mountain climbing enthusiasts can go the other way. But if you miss the direct bus to the scenic area at the visitor center, it will be very troublesome to get a taxi.
Have a Wushan grilled fish for lunch, and then take the 14:00 bus to Baolong Town at the Ancient City Wharf. CNY 15 per person. It's interesting to see the mountain you climbed in the morning on the boat. When you arrive at Baolong, you can take the Xiaohong Boat back to Wushan County at 16:00.
You can take a taxi to Goddess Sky Road Scenic Area in the morning of the second day. Don't forget to leave the driver's phone number and make an appointment for the return trip. The sightseeing bus and cable car on Goddess Sky Road take more than an hour to visit, and you don't need to climb the mountain. The glass plank road is close to Goddess Peak, which is quite shocking. After playing, you can take a taxi to take the Xiaosanxia Cruise as soon as possible. The waterway of Xiaosanxia is narrower than Wu Gorge. Personally, I think Wu Gorge is more spectacular when overlooking from the top of the mountain. But Xiaosanxia is more beautiful when taking a boat tour. It will be evening when you return from Xiaosanxia. Have a paper-wrapped fish, and enjoy it.
Personally, I don't think it's necessary to queue for hours at an internet-famous store. There are many grilled fish restaurants that have been open for more than ten years and are often visited by locals. Every one is delicious.

Come to Wushan, stay here, both adults and children will like it.
I searched for hotels online, because we are three adults with a child, so we must find two big beds to meet our needs.
I saw the price of Kai Chuang Days Hotel was only 268 (I only booked one night online, and then renewed one night at the front desk, only 265), and it also had an underground parking lot, so I ordered it decisively!
Sure enough, it lived up to expectations, or it was far beyond expectations, the whole family was very satisfied!
Every morning from 7-9:30 is a free breakfast, with a variety of flavors and very nice~
There are supermarkets and restaurants on the street at the door, which is very convenient!
Since we have been out for a week, we washed a few clothes, and when we came back after going out, the hotel hung our clothes neatly on the drying rack, which must be praised.
In short, come to Wushan to live here, absolutely right.

Moya Wushan, a hidden paradise in the mountains.
“The most beautiful Wu Gorge in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River meets the top brand in the Chinese homestay circle, Moya.”
✨I am very sure that this is what a fairyland looks like.
The location of Moya is destined to have extraordinary beauty!
✨Liuping Village, Wushan County, Chongqing, along the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, is a fairyland favored by the sea of clouds on a cliff terrace at an altitude of 800 meters. In spring and summer, flowers bloom in abundance and the mountains are full of greenery. In autumn, the red leaves paint the earth with beauty. In winter, the mountains, rocks, and rivers form a magnificent ink painting... This is where Moya Wushan is located.
✨The original residents have moved to the town, and every brick, tile, grass, and tree left behind has witnessed the changes in the history of this place for thousands of years. Its arrival gives Wushan, which is known for its clouds, a reason for modern people to retreat! Moya Wushan is located in Wushan County, Chongqing, on the cliff terrace of the Yangtze River, and is the first store of the Moya brand.
✨From the first encounter with the sea of clouds in Wushan in 2020 to the official meeting in 2023, Moya has slowly unfolded in this secret place for more than a thousand days and nights.
✨You can breathe in and out with the earth in the outdoor wilderness theater at sunrise in the morning, 🌞 and do yoga above the sea of clouds. At sunset in the evening, enjoy a cliff dinner by the sea of clouds pool. The sea of clouds cafe with a 270° invincible cliff view is always ready to welcome you, where you can enjoy a cup of coffee or leisurely read a book.

Little Three Gorges,cutting off the clouds and rain of Wushan
#nationalparks It is composed of Longmen Gorge, Bawu Gorge, Dicui Gorge, etc. in the lower reaches of the Daning River flowing through the territory of Wushan Mountain. The peaks on both sides are erect, the cliffs are cut by axes, the stalactites are hanging upside down, the ancient vines hang in the sky, and the winding paths are quiet. The water and the sky are the same color, which is very magnificent and beautiful, especially the river surface is a little narrower than the Yangtze River, which is more powerful.
There are not only green mountains and strange peaks, but also hanging coffins, boat coffins and ancient villages that have been preserved for thousands of years...

The most beautiful place is the Lesser Three Gorges.
The most beautiful attraction on the Three Gorges cruise is the Lesser Three Gorges, also known as Wushan Lesser Three Gorges and Lesser Lesser Three Gorges. It is located on Ningjiang Road, Wuxia Town, Wushan County, Chongqing. The Wushan Lesser Three Gorges is composed of Longmen Gorge, Bawu Gorge, and Dicui Gorge, which are located in the lower reaches of the Daning River in Wushan County, adjacent to the Yangtze River Three Gorges. The Wushan Lesser Lesser Three Gorges is located on the tributary of the Maduh River in Dicui Gorge of the Daning River, and is a collective name for the Changtan Gorge, Qinwang Gorge, and Sancheng Gorge.

The Wushan Lesser Three Gorges and Lesser Lesser Three Gorges Scenic Area is 65 km long and features various landscapes such as water gorges, peaks, caves, flora and fauna, and cultural sites. As you sail through the canyon, it feels like a series of magnificent landscape paintings unfold before your eyes.
