Venture 500 meters deep into the Longshui Gorge crevasse to embark on a journey to the heart of the earth

Longshui Gorge crevasse, located in Xiannvshan Town, Wulong District, Chongqing City, is part of the Wulong Karst tourist area, and is a typical karst landform landscape formed by orogenic movements millions of years ago. The canyon is 5 kilometers long, with a depth of 200-500 meters, and the high mountains, steep ridges, canyons, and flowing waters within the scenic area together create a perfect landscape painting. ✅Must-experience: Viewing the Milky Way Waterfall The Milky Way Waterfall is the most beautiful waterfall in the Longshui Gorge crevasse, plunging straight down from a hundred-meter-high cliff, like a huge silver curtain, resembling a mini version of 'the Milky Way falling from the sky'. The waterfall has a height difference of 80 meters and is usually 2-3 meters wide, in summer, when the water is abundant, the waterfall can reach a width of 6-8 meters, the waterfall hitting the large rocks produces a deafening sound, listening to the majestic momentum of the water, feeling the coolness of the valley, it's definitely an ideal summer retreat. In other seasons, the water flows continuously, just in a lesser volume. ✅Must-experience: Looking up at the 'One Line Sky' from the valley bottom 'One Line Sky' is another important sight in the Longshui Gorge crevasse, looking down from the top of the valley, the mist below is thick and unfathomable, like a deep crack on the earth, the name of Longshui Gorge crevasse also comes from this. Below the plank road is the valley bottom, with crisscrossing holes and jumbled rocks, the trickling stream flows between the crevices, making a light rustling sound. From the valley bottom to the top, the maximum drop is 260 meters, with the narrowest point being only one meter, the gorge is deep and serene, looking up, the beam of light forms a line, with darkness all around, it's quite astonishing! ✅Must-experience: Passing through the 'Time Tunnel' Part of the Time Tunnel, locally known as 'Firecracker Cave', used to be a cave workshop where locals made firecrackers. Passing through the long tunnel is like traversing the mysterious time and space. ✅Must-experience: Seeking the wonders of the crevasse All the attractions in the Longshui Gorge crevasse are the natural wonders and finely crafted by nature, it can be said that observing the Longshui Gorge crevasse reveals the geological changes over millions of years.
