Tickets and booking
Admission is 65 RMB, or 120 RMB bundled with the Dongjian 816 performance; both prices are listed as valid year-round. The pack documents no online booking channel — the contact on file is the site phone line, 023-81816816 — and all prices are flagged as reference only, subject to what the site posts on the day. The practical default is therefore to buy at the site at the listed price, and call ahead if the performance bundle is central to your plan.
Entrance and routes
The pack documents a single approach: take Fuling bus 208C to the He Jungong Dong (Nuclear Military-Industry Cave) stop, then walk roughly 150 m to the site at No. 26 Wuling Avenue, Baitao Subdistrict, Fuling District, Chongqing. No other gates, access roads or driving directions are listed, so treat the bus stop as your arrival anchor and use the full street address for any other mode of transport. The stop name — ‘cave’ — is a fair signal of what you are walking into: an underground complex, not an open-air site.
Photo spots
The pack lists no named viewpoints or photo points, so build the shot list on site rather than in advance. What the data does establish is the setting: an underground military-industrial complex, which means interior, artificially lit spaces rather than landscapes — a camera or phone that handles dim, large interiors is the sensible default. If you take the 120 RMB combined ticket, the Dongjian 816 performance is part of the visit; the pack carries no photography rules for it, so confirm on site before filming.
Timing and crowds
Hours split by season: 09:00-17:00 from April 1 to October 31, and 09:00-16:30 from November 1 to March 31, daily in both windows. The site’s suggested visit length is 1-3 hours, so the shorter winter day bites — arrive by early afternoon at the latest to fit a full visit before the 16:30 close. The pack carries no crowd statistics, so there is no documented quiet day or hour; the practical default is to start near the 09:00 opening, which also leaves slack if you add the Dongjian 816 performance.
Walking and effort
This is not a hike. The pack lists no trail distances, elevation figures or step counts, and the visit is bounded by the site’s own 1-3 hour suggestion. The name and the bus-stop name tell you the terrain: an underground cave complex, so the effort profile is walking and standing rather than climbing, and comfortable shoes are the reasonable default. Anyone who needs to ration walking should call 023-81816816 in advance — the pack does not document accessibility details.
Getting there
The documented route is a Fuling-side city bus: line 208C to the He Jungong Dong (Nuclear Military-Industry Cave) stop, then about 150 m on foot. The pack lists no connection from central Chongqing to Fuling and no taxi or driving details, so plan that first leg separately — the site sits at No. 26 Wuling Avenue, Baitao Subdistrict, Fuling District, which is the address to paste into a map app or hand to a driver. Since 208C is a Fuling bus, you will need to reach Fuling before the final hop.
Cost breakdown
Base admission is 65 RMB. The bundle with the Dongjian 816 performance is 120 RMB — effectively 55 RMB on top of the base ticket if the show is the draw. Half price applies to children taller than 1.2 m but under 1.5 m, visitors aged 60-64 with a senior card or ID, and full-time students with a valid student ID. Free entry covers children 1.2 m and under, visitors aged 65 and over with a senior card or ID, and disabled visitors, active-duty military and journalists with the relevant credentials. All figures are advisory — the site’s same-day posted prices govern — and the pack lists no other costs, so any budget beyond the ticket (transport, food, performance-only seats) is undocumented.
