What you can expect

  • Depart from the city centre area and embark on a full-day journey that blends extraordinary human engineering and breathtaking natural scenery.

    Your first stop is the iconic, once top-secret 816 Project Scenic Area, a staggering subterranean engineering marvel carved deep into the mountains and one of the world’s largest man-made underground complexes.

    Steeped in distinctive industrial and Cold War-era history, the site unfolds as a labyrinth of vast tunnels and caverns. Traverse the sprawling site comfortably in a dedicated electric sightseeing cart and take in the sheer monumental scale of this extraordinary hidden legacy.

    Afterwards, head to the stunning Wuling Mountain Grand Rift Valley, a spectacular karst canyon famed for its dramatic sheer cliffs, deep winding gorges, lush ancient forests, and crisp, oxygen-rich mountain air.

    All on-site transport is fully included for a hassle-free experience: scenic area shuttle bus, battery sightseeing cart, and uphill cable car, allowing you to soak in the awe-inspiring geological landscapes with total ease.

    Once all sightseeing is complete, return to the city centre area, where the tour will conclude and the group will disband.
