Before you start
This plan assumes two full days in the city. If you arrive late or leave early, remove a stop instead of treating those hours as available sightseeing time. Keep arrival transport separate from the main schedule.
Day one: the central peninsula
Begin around Jiefangbei and choose either the Art Museum or Huguang Assembly Hall according to your interests and current admission arrangements. Keep the afternoon flexible for a neighbourhood walk. Finish with dinner and Hongya Cave or Chaotianmen; choose one main evening view.
Day two: one slower outing
Choose the Three Gorges Museum if regional history appeals to you, or make Ciqikou your principal outing. Add Longmenhao only if the transfer and remaining time suit your pace. If departure is today, leave a buffer rather than adding another district.
What to leave for another visit
This city plan does not include Wulong or Dazu. If either is essential, extend the trip or replace a city day after comparing the full journey. See the three-day and four-day alternatives.
Ask us to adapt the plan around your arrival, walking needs and preferred evening experiences.
