I would like to take a Yangtze River Cruise from Chongqing. I am in Chengdu now. Could you suggest what the best way from Chengdu to Chongqing is? By train bus or flight or bus? And how long does it takes? Thanks.

Dear Nina,

Thanks for contacting Top China Travel! 

Traveling from Chengdu to Chongqing is quite convenient. The best way from Chengdu to Chongqing is by bullet train.

It normally departs from Chengdu Railway Station or Chengdu East Railway Station and arrives at Chongqing North Railway Station. It takes about 2 hours or so, depending on different train.

As far as I know, passengers who take Yangtze River Cruise start to get onboard from 7:00 pm and the ship will departs at 9:00 pm at the day. So it is suggested that you should check your train schedule first and decide which train to take to connect your cruise ship. You can visit find all the train schedule from Chengdu to Chongqing at: Train from Chengdu to Chongqing

And if you want to the train at the date of the cruise ship, you should leave enough time to transfer to the Chongqing dock from train station after you get off the train. You can see How to Get to Chaotianmen Dock/Pier from Chongqing North Train Station for the transfer information.

By the way, we can offer Yangtze River Cruise reservation, train ticket booking and transfer service from the train station/airport to the dock or vice versa for our clients. You can send the details of your needs to sales@topchinatravel.com if you want to book service from us.
