⚠️ Family trip tips
🍭 Buy train tickets in advance! Especially on weekends and holidays, very popular, book early for peace of mind
🍭 For self-guided trips with kids, manage your time well, basically no time for a proper lunch, bring plenty of snacks your kids like
🍭 Suitable all year round! We went in winter, fewer people and beautiful scenery, kids even played with some snowflakes
🍭 Mostly downhill throughout, basically no mountain climbing, no pressure for kids to complete the whole route
The scenic area is quite large, and walking takes a considerable amount of time, with many steps and stairs. It might be a bit strenuous for the elderly and children. The wonders of nature are truly exquisite; millions of years of meticulous sculpting have created this legendary landscape.
Улун-это место, которое нужно посетить хотя бы раз в жизни. Масштабы увиденного природного чуда восхищают. На территории парка везде есть туалеты, также трансфер удобный между локациями.
Deserve every penny, every second, every sweat drop, every body movment. Be careful it's exhausting, day long trip. Our driver li jian was really a good fellow. Although he knows zero english but the translation device with him was a kick to facilitate things a bit. He was really helping and patient 👌🏻👍🏻
Wulong Three Natural Bridges are located in Xiannvshan Town, Wulong District, Chongqing. They are famous karst landscapes in China. The rocks here have undergone millions of years of geological changes and erosion, forming a large-scale and majestic group of natural stone bridges. The most famous three natural bridges are Tianlong Bridge, Qinglong Bridge and Heilong Bridge, which span across the deep canyon and offer spectacular views.
The Three Natural Bridges are a geological masterpiece carved by nature over millions of years. The three natural stone arch bridges: Tianlong Bridge, Qinglong Bridge and Heilong Bridge are arranged vertically, forming the world's largest natural bridge group. They span the Yangshui River Canyon in parallel, connecting the mountains on both sides, forming a unique geological relic of "three bridges and two pits" (Tianlong Tiankeng and Shenying Tiankeng). The uncanny workmanship of nature is amazing!
