Remove any stop with the cross or drag it with ≡, and add another one nearby — the times recalculate.

## The Dazu Rock Carvings

Baodingshan is the main site, with huge reliefs around a horseshoe-shaped valley. Beishan is smaller and older. Winter tickets are cheaper. Bring water — there is little shade.

## Is 2 days in Chongqing enough?

For the city and Dazu, yes. The [Three Gorges Museum](https://yesgo.io/china/chongqing/three-gorges-museum) covers Chongqing and the Yangtze for free; [Wulong](https://yesgo.io/china/chongqing/wulong-karst) has the Three Natural Bridges, arches 223–281 m above a gorge.

## Tips

- Go to Dazu early: last entry is 17:00.
- Book a car with driver for the day through DiDi.
- Many museums and parks in China admit visitors only with a passport booking — via WeChat, the website or a mini-app, usually 1–7 days ahead. Carry your passport.
- China runs on Alipay and WeChat Pay — link a foreign card before you go; keep some cash yuan as a backup.
- Skip Hongyadong on public holidays — it is packed.
