No, your time is enough. These scenic spots are far from the Wulong downtown, you are suggested to see one of them, then the time is enough. Among the three, the Tiankeng is suggested, for the scenery is really stunning. If you want to see more, you are suggested to join the hostel tour. It will make your trip much easier.Among all these, Tiankeng is the most famous and popular now. Yes, after you arrive in Wulong, you need to hire a car to the spots. You cannot take the subway from Jindaoxia back to Hongqihegou, you need to the bus to back to Beipei Station, where youc an take the subway line 6 to Hongqihegou Station.As I heard, the first bus departs from 08:00, you need to check it for sure.Take a raft is more thrilling and interesting than taking the cable car.Don’t worry. It’s safe. Just be careful.Yes, your route is good, all the best spots are included in your plan. It is suggested. As for Ciqikou, after 8 pm, I’m afraid some shops and restaurants will be closed. I had been there once, I suggest you go there a bit earlier.Yes, you can buy it on board and individually.Fudu Ghost town is a very interesting spots, and the scenery is also enchanting, worthy a visit.Arrival in Yichang, I suggest you got to the Jiefanglu Pedestrian street, where you can have some local food and do a simple city sightseeing.

1. Generally speaking, it is safe to board with another passenger alone. Don’t worry too much.2. From the railway station, there is no subway or direct bus lead to the Jiefanglu. You are suggested to take a taxi, the fare is about CNY20. Taozhu Road Market is more famous than the 403 night market. They are about the same far from the east railway station.3. Yes, it is enough, and you’d better leave earlier like 5pm.4. The hiking time is about one hour. Visiting there at 8pm is also suggested, for it is one of the best site to see the nght view.5. Yes, there are special places in the cabin to put your luggage. Don’t worry. Usually speaking, 4 beds cabin is better than 6 beds.6. Your route is right. There is no much better transfer plan than this. Follow it.7. Personally speaking, the Reed Flute cave is more wonderful and amazing than silver cave. You just need to visit one of them, and the Reed Flute Cave is recommended.
