🌉 Breaking news! Wulong Tiankeng Three Bridges hide a "world-class movie filming location," with sinkholes and fissures 10 times more stunning than on screen! Self-driving guide + photo spots fully revealed
"Do you think the fairy world in movies is special effects? Wrong! Wulong Tiankeng Three Bridges' Tianlong Bridge, Qinglong Bridge, and Heilong Bridge, three natural stone bridges spanning sinkholes, directly bring the hanging post station from 'Curse of the Golden Flower' and the mechanical battlefield from 'Transformers 4' into reality! As a travel blogger who has visited 20 geological parks, I was speechless this time, shocked by the 300-meter-high Tianlong Bridge cave—standing under the bridge looking up, the sky is cut into a 'one-line sky' by the stone bridge, and the whistling wind through the cave sounds like an ancient giant beast moaning! At the end of the article, there is a self-driving route + hidden photo spots + pit avoidance guide. Save this article, and you are only a ticket away from being the 'movie protagonist'!"
🌋 Why is Wulong Tiankeng Three Bridges called the "ceiling of geological wonders"? Data + movie double certification!
1. World Natural Heritage + Geological Park, the only three bridges and two sinkholes in the world
Wulong Tiankeng Three Bridges is the pinnacle of karst landforms, with three natural stone bridges (Tianlong Bridge, Qinglong Bridge, Heilong Bridge) each spanning over 200 meters, bridge heights over 300 meters, and cave openings like giant gates standing tall. Below are the 300-meter-deep "Tianlong Sinkhole" and "Shenying Sinkhole." Geologists say: "This scale of natural stone bridge group exists only here in the world!" Field test experience: standing under Tianlong Bridge, looking up at the cave like a giant beast's open mouth, sunlight shines through the bridge cracks, and the light and shadow form a flowing "golden waterfall" at the bottom of the sinkhole. Every photo is a masterpiece!
2. Movie filming locations, check in at "star-approved" scenes
• "Curse of the Golden Flower" post station: The hanging wooden house inside Tianlong Bridge cave, where Chow Yun-fat stood in the movie, now hangs "Siheyuan" lanterns. Wear Hanfu to shoot and instantly become a "martial arts hero"!
• "Transformers 4" mechanical battlefield: The rock formations under Qinglong Bridge cave, where Optimus Prime and Bumblebee fought in the movie. Strike a "transform" pose, and your Moments will be flooded with questions instantly!
3. Best value for money, tickets are very affordable
Tickets are 125 RMB (including shuttle bus), much more reasonable than the usual 300+ RMB 5A scenic spots! Even better: one ticket covers all three bridges and two sinkholes + glass viewing platform, with a 3-hour walking route suitable for elderly and children (even easier with trekking poles).
📸 Must-visit photo spots list: 5 hidden locations to blow up your Moments!
1. "Thumb" cave (left side under Tianlong Bridge stairs)
The cave naturally forms a "thumb" shape, and when sunlight penetrates through the bridge cracks, golden outlines are cast on the cave walls. Photo tip: stand inside the cave and have a friend shoot from above the stairs, with the 300-meter-high stone bridge as the background. Caption it "A day praised by nature," for a high-end vibe!
2. "Curse of the Golden Flower" post station (inside Tianlong Bridge cave)
The stone steps in front of the wooden house are a classic movie scene. Wear a light-colored long dress or ancient costume, stand sideways under the lantern, and let the light and shadow fall on your face for an instantly divine atmosphere! Field test shows 4 PM has the softest light, and backlit hair shots are stunning!
3. Qinglong Bridge "One-line Sky" (narrowest part of the cave)
The cave is only 30 meters wide, with towering stone walls on both sides. Sunlight leaks from the top gap, forming a "golden light pillar." Recommended shot: use a wide-angle lens to shoot upward from the bottom of the bridge, with a person standing in the light pillar and the deep cave as the background, creating a mysterious vibe!
4. Glass viewing platform (above Shenying Sinkhole)
The suspended glass platform extends to the center of the sinkhole, with a 300-meter abyss below. Not for the faint-hearted! But the view is amazing—panoramic sinkhole + three bridges outline in full view. Photo pose: back to the camera, arms spread wide, caption "Walking on clouds," thrilling and photogenic!
5. Heilong Bridge "Mist Spring" (deep inside the cave)
There is a natural spring inside the cave, and when mist spreads, it looks like a fairyland. Hidden trick: bring a transparent umbrella, let the mist form water droplets on it, and shoot against the light. The umbrella surface will reflect rainbow spots, maximizing the fairy vibe!
🚗 Self-driving route plan: How to get there from Chongqing most time-efficiently?
✅ Classic one-day tour (for time-tight visitors)
• 7:00 Depart from Chongqing main city, navigate to "Wulong Tiankeng Three Bridges Visitor Center" (2.5-hour drive, toll 85 RMB)
• 9:30 Arrive and take shuttle bus to scenic entrance (15 minutes)
• 10:00-12:30 Tour three bridges and two sinkholes (focus on Tianlong Bridge, Qinglong Bridge)
• 12:30 Eat a bowl of tofu pudding rice at "Tianfu Guan Yi Restaurant" inside the park (30 RMB per person, tofu pudding is super tender!)
• 13:30-15:00 Visit glass viewing platform + Heilong Bridge
• 15:30 Return trip, back to Chongqing before 18:00
✅ In-depth two-day tour (for photographers/family trips)
• Day 1: Check in to a guesthouse in Xiannvshan Town in the afternoon (recommend "Guiyuan Town," wooden courtyard is very healing), go to "Guiyuan Teahouse" in the evening to drink eagle tea and watch the sunset
• Day 2: Get up early at 7:30 to visit Tiankeng Three Bridges (fewer people and better light), have tofu pudding rice for lunch, then visit "Longshuixia Fissure" in the afternoon (1-hour walk, waterfall is stunning)
• Accommodation recommendations: "Waiting for the Wind" guesthouse in Xiannvshan Town (300 RMB/night, floor-to-ceiling windows with mountain views), or "Wulong Grand Hotel" near the park (200 RMB/night, 5-minute walk to entrance)
⚠️ Pit avoidance guide: These details can save you 200 RMB!
1. Ticket traps: Don't buy "fast track tickets"! The park shuttle bus is mandatory (15 RMB/person), but the walking path is also open (adds 20 minutes, suitable for photographers).
2. Traffic pitfalls: Don't park at the visitor center parking lot when driving! Navigate to "Wulong Tiankeng Three Bridges Second Parking Lot," a 3-minute walk to the entrance, and it's free!
3. Dressing mistakes: Don't wear short skirts! The three bridges are windy, and the cave floor is slippery. Wear non-slip shoes + long pants (bring a light jacket, temperature inside the cave is 5℃ lower).
4. Food traps: The "Wulong mutton" inside the park varies in quality. Choose the old cured meat at "Tianfu Guan Yi Restaurant." Other small shops may use frozen meat!
🎬 Movie Easter eggs: These details make you a "detail lover" instantly!
• "Curse of the Golden Flower" post station: The stone steps in front of the wooden house have original movie lanterns, with "Siheyuan" written on them (customized by the crew), now a popular photo prop for tourists.
• "Transformers 4" mechanical battlefield: The rock formations under Qinglong Bridge cave have the same movie poster photo spot. Strike a "transform" pose, caption "In the frame with Optimus Prime," and get over 100 likes on Moments!
💬 Real experience: This place is more stunning than the movies!
"As a travel blogger who has watched 10 geological documentaries, Wulong Tiankeng Three Bridges' 'three bridges and two sinkholes' completely overturned my perception! The grandeur of Tianlong Bridge, the mystery of Qinglong Bridge, the depth of Heilong Bridge—each spot feels like a carefully designed movie scene. The biggest surprise is the few people! Even on weekends, no queues, no need to avoid crowds when taking photos, truly the joy of 'owning the whole mountain'! If you are tired of crowded scenic spots, this is definitely your 'ceiling of geological wonders'!"
