[2025 Chongqing Attraction] Travel Guide for Natural Three Bridges (Updated Jun)

There are many breathtaking attractions in mainland China, and Wulong Tiankeng is definitely one of the most impressive. Besides being a filming location for the movie Transformers, it is also where The City of Golden Armor was shot 🎬. You can easily join a one-day or two-day tour from Chongqing, making it very convenient 👍. From the entrance, you can follow the steps down and soon reach the only man-made structure in the scenic area, the Tianfu Post Station. Sharp-eyed movie fans might find it familiar, and yes, you guessed it right, it's the one! Beyond the post station, the scenery becomes even more enchanting, with numerous waterfalls, small bridges, and rivers along the way. The fresh air filled with phytoncides is truly refreshing ❤️. I highly recommend spending a day visiting Wulong Tiankeng when you are in Chongqing to appreciate the wonders of nature. It is definitely worth the ticket price 👍.

I bravely ventured into the mountain city of Chongqing with my 65-year-old father! 5.11-5.14, there are not many people during this period, the weather is suitable, there is rain but not heavy, there is sunshine but not too strong. Day 1: Arrive at Chongqing Jiangbei Airport at 12 noon and stay near Jiefangbei. Jiefangbei - Bayi Road Food Street - Eling Second Factory - Eling Park - Liziba - Guanyin Bridge - Beicang Cultural and Creative Park - 21:30 Raffles - Hongyadong - Qiansimen Bridge. My dad and I walked more than 30K steps that day. We were hungry and tired. In the middle of the night, even McDonald's was closed, so we had to run and order a yogurt cow. Don’t say! Really delicious! Day 2: It’s a day of exploring the cenotes! Depart from Chongqing North at 8:30 and arrive in Wulong at 10:30. 11:45 Three Natural Bridges, 14:30 Longshuixia Crack. At 18:00, I ate bowls of mutton, which was ranked first on the must-eat list, and at 19:00 I returned to Chongqing North from Wulong. Day 3: Arrive at Shancheng Lane at 9:30, Shancheng Trail - Eighteen Ladders - Baixiang Street District - Baixiangju, 14:30 Huguang Guild Hall, 16:30 dinner at Yangjilongfu. Afterwards, we went to Daijia Lane - Kuixing Tower - back to Jiefangbei to pick up our luggage and arrived at Marriott at 20:30. After putting down our luggage and taking photos of the night view on the rooftop, we set off again! 21:30 Socialist College - Longmenhao Old Street - Xiahaoli (it was dark and the lights were off, so I didn’t see much) - Nanbin Road (I couldn’t walk anymore and couldn’t reach the park). I went back and looked through the photos and found that my dad and I were still climbing the stairs after 11pm at night. Hahaha Day 4: Sleep in in the morning, take photos on the rooftop of Marriott, eat hot pot at 12:00, and take a flight at 15:45. I even went through the express channel, but I still heard my name and my dad's name at the airport. It was so embarrassing. I have to spend more time next time. These days, I rely on online guides for walking, and Baidu Maps for subway and bus. I was shocked by the spirit of the Cha Yan Yue Se waiter. I drank several cups of Cha Yan Yue Se, a Yogurt Cow, and Yu Lao Yin! Before coming to Chongqing, I only knew about Tianjin Mahua. I didn’t expect that there were shops selling Mahua everywhere in Chongqing. As a foreigner from Chongqing, my father and I often sigh that although we are on the first floor, we are on the top floor of other buildings. Also, because we are always climbing up hills and stairs, we sigh that the elderly here must be very agile. After I came back, my phone was full of photos of the river view, daytime, nighttime, cloudy, sunny, from all angles and locations, there must be hundreds of them! Oh yes, there is a little surprise! I was walking around Baixiangju under the scorching sun and was so tired. As a result, I managed to eat tangerines that cost 7 yuan per pound among a group of tangerines that cost 9 or 10 yuan per pound! What’s even more coincidental is that we also ran into the two sisters we met in Wulong the day before! With this Babagan, I finally understand what "every fruit is plump and juicy" means! No seeds, and super sweet! After eating the babagan, my dad and I sat at the door of the stall and ate a lot of loquats and lychees. It was so cool!

It is recommended to exercise for 1 month before the three bridges come, otherwise the legs can't bear it🥲

Tian Sheng San Qiao (Three Natural Bridges) National Park is located in Wulong, about 150 kilometers from Chongqing. We took a day trip by train, which was very convenient. We spent around 2.5 hours leisurely exploring the park. On the way back, the bus will stop at a bus station first, then at the train station. Be careful not to get off at the wrong stop. We almost did, but luckily we asked in time. You can conveniently pay by scanning when you get on the bus.

Tianxing Three Bridges is a rare karst landscape in the Wulong area of Chongqing, known for its magnificent natural stone bridges and deep gorges. It has become one of the representative natural landscapes of Chongqing. These three giant stone bridges tower above the gorge, each with a unique shape and imposing presence, as if crafted by nature itself. Visitors entering the scenic area will be awed by the steep cliffs and deep gorges below the bridges, often shrouded in mist, adding to the mysterious atmosphere. The ancient post station of Tianfu Guanyi is located here, blending history and nature seamlessly, making visitors feel as if they have traveled through time. This location has also been featured in several famous movies, such as 'Curse of the Golden Flower,' adding to its cinematic charm. Whether it's the spectacular stone bridges, the serene gorges, or the rich natural and cultural stories, Tianxing Three Bridges offers visitors a breathtaking visual and spiritual feast, making it an unmissable natural wonder tour.

Traveling during the National Day holiday, Chongqing is not just Hongyadong. Come here to enjoy the natural wonders. 😍😍😍 🌟Highlights: Tiansheng Sanqiao sees the sky and the earth, and sees this wave of lake and mountain scenery. 🤭🤭🤭 Sitting on a rocking boat shortcut, the lake surface is accompanied by waves and forests. The mountains and rivers on both sides are all in sight, and there is a lot of artistic conception. 👍Most recommended: The strange rocks are clever, all by imagination. I have to say, seeing this natural wonder can't help but sigh. It's amazing. Relaxed and happy, forget all troubles.

It is best to buy a ticket in the ancient town to visit the dark river, you need to buy a car ticket, it takes about 20 minutes by car, walking is not recommended, because the entrance and exit of the dark river are not in the same place.
