Wulong Canal (武隆渠), also known as the hanging-cliff canal, began trial operation on 1 October 2026. The operator’s opening-day report confirms that this new visitor route opened during the National Day holiday. It follows an older water channel along a high cliff, adding a different kind of outdoor visit to Wulong’s established sightseeing options.

Book before setting off

The operator’s 26 September visitor briefing explicitly says that reservations are required and asks people without one not to turn up. It identifies the destination as the hanging-cliff canal at Cheqingyan, Qianjin Village, Changba Town, Wulong District: 重庆市武隆区长坝镇前进村扯情岩挂壁水渠. Follow current road signs and staff directions for the final approach.

The operator’s 4 October update still lists the Canal’s holiday trial opening and directs visitors to the WeChat mini-program 武隆景区官方平台 for reservations. Check that your chosen date is available and that your reservation has succeeded before arranging transport. This published instruction is not a live ticket-availability check.

Check whether the route suits your group

The operator warns that the full walk requires physical effort and recommends a light load, drinking water and a thin outer layer. This is important when deciding whether everyone in a group can manage the outing.

Before committing to a self-drive trip, check the current vehicle-access rules, weather-related opening status and the approved arrival point. The checked sources do not establish a foreign-passport booking process, English-language assistance or step-free access. Ask about any of these needs in advance rather than assuming the new opening covers them.

No exact end date for trial operation was verified. Opening-day confirmation does not guarantee access on a later date, and this article makes no promise about today’s availability or ticket price.
