Exploring the Majestic Natural Bridges of Wulong

From Chongqing, jump on a train to Wulong — a budget-friendly ride that cost us around €2.50. Upon arrival, we grabbed a taxi straight to Chongqing Wulong County Yiqi Hotel, our accommodation for the night. It’s conveniently located right next to the tourist center, which made everything easier. (Alternatively, you can take a bus to the tourist center for only 10 yuan — the ride takes about 30 minutes.) After checking in, the hotel owner kindly drove us to the tourist center, where we bought our tickets to explore the national park. There are four main attractions to choose from: • Three Natural Bridges • Longshuixia Gap • Fairy Mountain (Xiannushan) • Furong Cave We chose the Three Natural Bridges (155 yuan), which included entrance, elevator access, and the scenic trail. This was the main reason we came to Wulong, and we planned to visit Longshuixia Gap (105 yuan) the next morning. Most people visit both in one day, but we preferred a slower pace. The walk through the Three Natural Bridges was absolutely breathtaking — peaceful, grand, and awe-inspiring. If you’re too tired to walk back, there’s a return shuttle bus available for 15 yuan. Our visit lasted around 2 hours with the shuttle; usually, it takes 2.5 to 3 hours, but hunger made us speed things up.
