Do you need to book Longshui Gorge Ground Crack in advance?
Yes — Longshui Gorge Ground Crack in Wulong runs on real-name advance reservation. A foreign passport works as the real-name ID. We have not found an official statement of when tickets release or a booking page we can link, so the practical route is your hotel front desk — and we say so rather than guess.

How a foreign visitor actually books it
A separate ticket and a separate canyon, usually paired with the Three Bridges on the same day. Buy real-name with your passport at the Fairy Mountain Tourist Center or in the Wulong Karst mini-program; reach it by shuttle from the visitor centre or from the shuttle stop near the Three Bridges exit. The price includes the shuttle bus and the elevator down into the slot canyon.
What else to know
We link no official booking page here — same Wulong Karst mini-program and OTAs, no clean standalone official site we could verify; reconfirm the price. A narrow 'ground crack' (difeng) slot canyon: an elevator and stepped boardwalks take you down into a deep, damp fissure with waterfalls and overhanging karst walls, a tighter and wetter counterpoint to the broad gorge at the Three Bridges. Ticket has long been quoted around ¥105, including the shuttle bus and the elevator. It is its own gate, not covered by the Three Bridges ticket, but the two sit in the same Fairy Mountain karst cluster and most visitors do them back-to-back. Wear shoes that can handle wet steps. Per the Chongqing 4A scenic-area register published by the provincial culture-and-tourism authority (read 2026-08-09): visitor line 4000235666; ticket 105元/人（含景区门票、电梯票、观光车票）; off-peak 85元/人（含景区门票、电梯票、观光车票）.
If the official channel does not work
The two reliable fallbacks are your hotel front desk, which books these through domestic apps every day, and the on-site manual window where one still exists. What does not work is buying from someone who approaches you or from a marketplace listing: entry is real-name, so a ticket registered to another person’s ID will not admit you. The mechanics are in buying tickets the official way and booking without WeChat.
