Tickets and booking
Admission is published only as a combo ticket that bundles cave entry with the round-trip sightseeing cableway; no cave-only or cableway-only price exists in the data. Adult rates are seasonal: 150 RMB from March 1 to October 31, dropping to 135 RMB from November 1 through the end of February.
The pack lists no sales channels or reservation rules, so the practical default is to book ahead where you can and otherwise buy at the gate. Every discount tier is certificate-based, so carry ID or the relevant documents regardless of how you buy — eligibility details are broken down in the cost breakdown below.
Entrance and routes
The listed address is No. 88 Furong Road, Wulong District, Chongqing. The ticket structure itself defines the standard way in: all published prices are for a combo that includes the round-trip sightseeing cableway, so the cable car is the built-in access route rather than an optional extra.
The pack documents no walking access, shuttle service or secondary entrance, so plan on riding the cableway both ways as the default.
Photo spots
The data pack names no specific formations, viewpoints or photo platforms, so anchor on the two documented elements: the round-trip sightseeing cableway included in every ticket, and the cave tour itself. The cableway legs are the outdoor portion of the visit; inside, a cave tour means low light, so a camera that handles dim conditions is the practical preparation.
Since no extra photo stops are documented, keep photography time inside the 1-3 hour visit budget rather than padding the schedule.
Timing and crowds
Opening hours change three times a year: 08:30-16:30 from September 1 to April 30, 08:30-17:00 for May only, and 08:00-17:00 from June 1 to August 31. With a suggested visit of 1-3 hours, a 16:30 close means starting by early afternoon at the latest for most of the year; in summer the earlier 08:00 opening gives the widest window.
The pack contains no visitor-volume or crowd data, so no crowd patterns can be quoted — the practical default is to arrive early in the opening window rather than near closing.
Walking and effort
No trail lengths, gradients or stair counts appear in the data, so the walking effort cannot be quantified. The one structural signal: every admission tier bundles the round-trip sightseeing cableway, so the default visit involves riding the cable car rather than hiking an approach path.
The overall visit is scoped at 1-3 hours. Anyone who needs exact in-cave walking distances should treat that as undocumented in the current data.
Getting there
The only documented link from central Chongqing is the tourist direct bus departing from the InterContinental hotel stop at Jiefangbei, bound for Fairy Mountain Forest Park in Wulong. Note the stated destination: that bus terminates at the forest park, not at Furong Cave on Furong Road — the pack lists no onward connection from there to the cave, so sort out that final leg separately.
No fares or departure times for the direct bus are given in the data.
Cost breakdown
All published prices are per person, combo-priced with the round-trip sightseeing cableway, and seasonal. March 1 to October 31: adults 150 RMB, half-price 110 RMB, certificate-based free-admission tier 70 RMB. November 1 through end of February: adults 135 RMB, half-price 102.5 RMB, free-admission tier 70 RMB.
Half price covers children between 1.2 m and 1.5 m tall, minors aged 7 to 18, seniors aged 60 to 64, and full-time undergraduate-and-below students. The free-admission tier — ticketed at 70 RMB in both seasons — covers seniors 65 and over with ID, active-duty military, military-disabled personnel, disability-certificate holders and fire-rescue certificate holders, plus one accompanying person for a visually or intellectually disabled visitor or a grade-1 or grade-2 physically disabled visitor.
The pack lists no other costs — no bus fare, parking or guide fees — so any budget beyond the ticket is undocumented.
