What changed
The Yangtze Cableway operator says the cableway will close for the whole of Wednesday, 28 October 2026, for monthly maintenance. Its announced reopening is Thursday, 29 October at 08:00. All times here are Chongqing local time (Asia/Shanghai). This is a future operating plan, not confirmation that reopening has occurred.
Who is affected
Travellers planning a cableway ride on 28 October should move it to another day rather than travel to a terminal expecting service. For an essential crossing, plan a separate metro or road journey and check the route for your actual destination. This is editorial planning advice, not an operator-announced replacement service; the notice does not offer a replacement shuttle.
What to do
Recheck the operator’s notice before a 29 October visit; the announced 08:00 restart is not a live service guarantee. If you already hold a ticket, ask the original seller about your booking rather than assuming an automatic refund or free date change. The notice does not state ticket-handling arrangements. The operator lists enquiries at 023-68816888.
