Chiyou Jiulu City from Chongqing

Hi, is there any direct bus from Chongqing to Chiyou Jiulu City?

I read somewhere that there is a bus to Longtousi (龙头寺)Tourist Distribution Center. Is it the same area as Chiyou Jiulu City? Also, where should I board the bus?

Thanks!

Traveling from Chongqing to Chiyou Jiulu City requires some planning, as there is no direct long-distance bus that drops you straight at Chiyou Jiulu City itself. Most sources mention a bus route to Longtousi (龙头寺) Tourist Distribution Center, which is the main hub for accessing the Chiyou Jiulu scenic area.

The Longtousi center functions as a distribution point where tourists transfer to local shuttles or smaller buses that go up to Chiyou Jiulu City and nearby villages. So yes, reaching Longtousi is effectively the first step to getting to Chiyou Jiulu.

For boarding the bus in Chongqing:

  • Buses to Longtousi typically depart from major long-distance bus stations such as the Chongqing North Bus Station (重庆北站长途汽车站) or the Chongqing Jiangbei Bus Terminal. Confirm the latest departure point when purchasing tickets, as it can vary.
  • Tickets can often be bought at the bus station or through Chinese online platforms like 12306.cn or travel apps, though language may be a barrier without help from a local or hotel.
  • The journey to Longtousi is usually several hours, so plan to depart early to make connections to the scenic area.

Once you reach Longtousi:

  • Look for the shuttle buses or mini-vans heading to Chiyou Jiulu City; these are frequent but schedules may depend on season and demand.
  • Consider confirming return schedules in advance if you plan to come back to Chongqing the same day.
  • If convenience is a priority, some travelers hire a private driver from Chongqing, which allows direct travel to Chiyou Jiulu City but is more expensive.

In summary, the bus to Longtousi is the standard way to access Chiyou Jiulu City. From there, local transport or private arrangements will get you up to the scenic spots. Planning connections and early departures will make the trip smoother.
