There are 2 UNESCO world heritage sites in Chongqing, Wulong Karst National Park and Dazu Ancient Rock Carvings, but no tour campany would do them both because they need travellers spend much time in souvenir shops. We now combine the 2 major highlights as a ‘All-in one World Heritage Package Private Tour’, our travellers are now able to learn both of them within just 2 days. Further more, we could make this tour smooth, comfortable and efficient due to the brand new convenient highway system.
We focus on private tour service, make our clients travel like a local.
For such a long highway road trip you do need a friendly, sophisticated and safe driver guide to be around, a driver-guide who knows both Chinese culture and how to do a safe, joyful and professional guiding job will be your choice.
