Wulong Karst Tourism Area is located in Wulong District, Chongqing, downstream of the Wu River, a tributary of the Yangtze River. It features a typical karst landscape, with magnificent natural bridges, vast sinkholes, and steep, deep gorges. You can descend into a 100 m deep sinkhole and look up at the towering cliffs surrounding you like clouds. Alternatively, you can explore the valley floor within the gorges, following the underground river along the rock walls, and experience the wonders of nature. Tiankeng attractionIt features natural bridge clusters and sinkhole clusters. The area gained widespread recognition after serving as a filming location for the movie Curse of the Golden Flower. It was also used as a filming location for Transformers: Age of Extinction. Longshuixia ground fissure offers a distinct experience: first take the sightseeing elevator down to the mountainside, then hike deep into the valley bottom, following the underground river along cliffside walkways with waterfalls and streams accompanying the journey, their sounds echoing between steep walls. Xiannü mountain presents a rare alpine grassland in southern China, averaging nearly 2 km in elevation where forests meet meadows, with summer temperatures around 20°C and winter ski opportunities; Furong cave is renowned for its cave deposition views, featuring stalactite marvels like Coral jade pool and Giant curtain waterfall, each displaying unique formations.

Three Natural Bridges

8.3

4.6/5

17.4k reviews

Three Natural Bridges is located in Xiannüshan Town, Wulong, Chongqing, and is a typical karst landscape attraction. The three natural stone arch bridges—Tianlong Bridge, Qinglong Bridge, and Heilong Bridge—are arranged longitudinally and span the Yangshui River gorge in parallel, with each bridge standing more than 200 m tall, connecting the mountain masses on both banks into one whole and forming the unique view known as "three bridges flanking two pits." The huge depressions enclosed between the bridges are what people commonly call "heavenly pits." It is quite rare to find three giant natural bridges appearing in succession within such a short stretch of gorge—such a bridge cluster view is truly uncommon. The three bridges each have a distinct form: Tianlong Bridge is tall and massive, with a through-cave developed beneath it; after rain, waterfalls often cascade down from the deck of Qinglong Bridge, and the mist catches the sunlight to form a rainbow—hence the bridge's name; Heilong Bridge takes its name from its deep, dark arch cave, with several mountain springs hanging along its walls. At the bottom of the pits, streams murmur and trees are lush and green; looking up, you see nearly vertical cliff faces, with mountain springs plunging down from the cliff tops—walking through feels like passing through a gorge at the center of the earth. Tours usually begin by taking the sightseeing elevator down to the bottom of the sinkhole, then following the valley-floor trail through three bridge arches in succession, looking up at the bridge arches and cliff faces. Tianfu Post Station at the bottom of Tianlong Bridge sinkhole is a faux-antique quadrangle courtyard with gray-tiled roofs, gray walls, and upturned eaves. A post station once stood here during the Tang Dynasty, and the courtyard has been restored to its original appearance. Director Zhang Yimou's film "Curse of the Golden Flower" was shot on location here, and it is also a filming location for "Transformers: Age of Extinction" and the film adaptation of "Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms." After the tour, visitors can walk up the trail to exit the attraction and transfer to a shuttle bus back to Xiannüshan Town Visitor Center, or make a side trip to the adjacent Longshuixia Ground Fissure to see both karst landscapes—the "sinkhole" and the "ground fissure"—in one visit.

As you take the cableway and travel to the other side of the river, you can see the scenery of the skyscrapers, the Yangtze River, and the south bank of the river. There is a saying that “If you don't see the night view, you have not been to Chongqing”. So take the Yangtze River cableway so have a glimpse of Chongqing's night skyline. The Yangtze River cableway has also become a favourite for many filmmakers in Chongqing. Whenever there are cableway footages in domestic film and television dramas, the audience will know that it was shot in Chongqing.

WenShuFang is an antique-style cultural block in Qingyang District, Chengdu, adjacent to Wenshu Monastery. Opened in 2006, the Wenshu Monastery area, where it is located, is one of Chengdu's three major historical and cultural conservation zones, alongside Kuanzhai Alley and Daci Temple. The block primarily features architecture in the traditional Sichuanese residential style, with teahouses, snack shops, intangible cultural heritage workshops, and Hanfu stores nestled among gray-tiled roofs, wooden doors, and courtyards. It is also a popular spot for locals to drink tea and chat. The main streets in the district each have their own distinctive features: Wuyuegong Street is dedicated to intangible cultural heritage, with workshops showcasing traditional crafts like Shu brocade, Shu embroidery, lacquerware, bamboo weaving, and silver filigree, where artisans can often be seen working on-site; Nanyue Lane is a hub for Hanfu culture, with a constant stream of people dressed in Hanfu taking photos against the backdrop of ancient-style gate towers and red walls, and the street also offers Hanfu rental and makeup services; Jinma Lane is the heart of old Chengdu flavors, where time-honored snacks like imperial walnut cakes and Zhang Liangfen from Dongzikou can be enjoyed from one end of the street to the other. When you need a break, you can stop at a teahouse for a bowl of covered-bowl tea. The district also hosts Sichuan opera performances, where you can enjoy face-changing, fire-spitting, and long-spout tea art while sipping tea, fully immersing yourself in Chengdu's unique blend of leisure and liveliness. When touring, you might as well combine this place with the nearby Wenshu Monastery into one route, visiting the ancient temple first and then exploring the alleys, which can be completed in half a day. Travelers planning to take Hanfu photos are advised to allocate more time for makeup, styling, and framing.

There are several adorable baby pandas in Panda Valley. Some of them are here to participate in wild transition training. They come here to receive wild training for captive giant pandas and then undergo assessment. Based on the assessment results, it is determined whether they are suitable for release into the wild. Built along the mountain and adjacent to the Dujiangyan Irrigation System and Mount Qingcheng, Panda Valley is surrounded by forests and hills, making it a semi-natural valley park. Its full name is: Dujiangyan Breeding and Wild Release Research Center of the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. The location features a semi-natural transition area for wild release, where giant pandas temporarily live in fortress-like enclosures to gradually adapt to life in the wild. Visitors who love giant pandas can come here to see the national treasures.

Nestled halfway up Shengling Mountain in Jinlijing Town, Zizhong County, the Karst Cave of Shengling Mountain is a breathtaking natural wonder at 29°47'46" N latitude and 104°40'32" E longitude. This geological marvel—once part of the ancient Mediterranean Sea 600 million years ago—was formed through the uplift of the Eurasian continental shelf and nature's artistic craftsmanship. Its highlights include spectacular cave formations, complemented by nearby attractions like sinkholes, dinosaur footprint fossils, and Shengling Temple, collectively forming the Shengling Mountain scenic area. Conveniently located just 13 km from Zizhong's county center and a mere 3 km from the Yuxi exit of the Chengdu-Chongqing Expressway, this site offers a unique and unmissable stop along the Chengdu-Chongqing tourist route.

Shuangqiaogou got its name from the two wooden bridges in the valley. The ditch is mainly dominated by snow peaks, pastures, grasslands, forests, etc. It is a beautiful ditch in Siguniang Mountain. Walking in the ditch, you can experience the real pastoral scenery. The main scenic spots are Yinyang Valley, Hunter Peak, Sun and Moon Mirror and Five Colors Mountain, etc. For the convenience of traffic, the local people built two wooden bridges in the ditch, one of which was made of willow wood, commonly known as the willow bridge; the other was made of red cedar wood, commonly known as the convenience bridge. Shuangqiaogou got its name from this. The mountains in Shuangqiaogou are steep and tortuous, with lush forests. There are not only the common birch forests and cypress forests in the low mountain areas, but also the spruce, fir, and redwood in the high mountain areas, and even the sea buckthorn, shrubs, and larch. Every spring and autumn, the ditch is colorful and spectacular. There are sightseeing cars in the ditch that go directly to the end of the ditch, so you can enjoy the wonders in the ditch effortlessly.

Amazing place! The nature is great there. Path is neatly done and convenient. Smartly done for the queues, toilets and shops. You won't get lost at all. Even though the tickets covering mostly everything, there's still some places you can still spend some money to get more fun. We decided to ride a horses, which were a short but lovely walk. Climbing around wasn't too tiring neither, the surface mostly just flat, except for some areas. There's always a way to get a break from walking. Convenient, beautiful, lovely.

Everyone says the queue on the North Shore is quite long, but we arrived around 7 p.m. and only waited a few minutes. There were only about 10 people in each car, so the experience was quite good, although the time was a bit short.

During my recent trip to Chongqing, the Chongqing Zoo was one of my stops. Firstly, it's great value for money, with affordable prices, and a good number of pandas, including my favorites, Xiao Yue Liang and Qi San Mei. Going early in the morning means fewer tourists, and the pandas are more active. You can also see red pandas, goldfish, and other animals. The park is beautifully landscaped, and the air is fresh.

There weren't many people reciting, and the requirement was to recite without pausing or stuttering for more than 5 seconds; the recitation was generally smooth. Once successful, you'll receive a stamp on your hand. Then, go to the ticket window, get your ID card, and collect your ticket. A ¥10 insurance fee is required.
