About Wulong Karst National Geology Park

Wulong Karst National Geology Park, located in the Wulong District of Chongqing Municipality in China, is renowned for its dramatic karst landscapes. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and exemplifies a range of karst formations such as gorges, natural bridges, caves, eroded dolines, shafts and underground streams. The park is divided into three major areas: the Three Natural Bridges, the Longshuixia Fissure Gorge, and Furong Cave. These natural wonders showcase the immense and sculpted grey limestone towers and arches that are characteristic of the area. The Three Natural Bridges, named Tianlong, Qinglong, and Heilong, are massive limestone bridges towering above the valleys and rivers below. Furong Cave is an extensive cave system known for its size, variety of formations, and the underground waterfalls. The site has gained popularity with both geologists and tourists for its stunning natural beauty and the insights it provides into the processes of karst formation. Wulong Karst's landscapes have also been featured in international films, including 'Transformers: Age of Extinction'. It's a place where visitors can witness the majestic power of natural forces and the serene beauty of towering peaks and hidden grottoes.

Beautiful place. 100% recommend
We caught the local bus from wulong Town for 10Cny to the tourist centre. I absolutely loved it here. It cost 95 cny (nov). Took a few hours to steadily wander through taking many photos. The layout and pathways have been brilliantly done. We then took their tourist bus to longshuixia gap which was also stunning. After returned to the tourist centre via their tourist bus I 100% recommend

Another "hidden gem" on our ongoing travels in China
Quite a nice little walk (couldn't call it a hike) in some impressive geological features. It was apparently part of the shooting location for one of the transformers movies. There are large apparitions in a variety of locations. We visited this area in winter and had to abandon our trip to Fairy Mountain, which is close by. It was totally covered in heavy fog/cloud, so we got off the bus early and returned to Wulong township.

The Most Beautiful Karst Landscape in Chongqing
On the way from Chongqing to Wulong, Wujiang Gallery was a hidden niche we found. The Yangtze River meanders, and from time to time some cargo ships pass by on the river. The mountains along the river are green. Looking at the boats in the river, I now become an ancient poet, reciting poems and composing poems.This place is the only way for Chongqing city to go to Wulong. It has different tastes in sunny days and cloudy days. When it is sunny, the clear water is faint. The water is really green and gratifying. There is a hazy beauty when it rains. It is also good to take a long ride to breathe the fresh air of Wujiang River. Fortunately, I can still see the fog on the river, the vast expanse of whiteness, and the fairyland has not run away ~

Breathtaking beauty
As suggested by a tour guide, I joined a bus load of Chinese tourists going through unending mountain tunnels to Wulong National Park. I thought all along that no other place could equal the Zhangjiajie wonderland, but how wrong I was! Wrong too was the fact that I was totally unprepared for such an arduous climb, even for more vigorous souls. Please be aware that park entrance at certain sections are free of charges for seniors of 65 years or older. But as a reward, my eyes were incessantly called to the most amazing and unimaginable sights. See my testimony, attached.

A must visit world class attraction !
This UNESCO world heritage site famous for its karst landform with several major attractions within the 9 sq kilometers of park. It includes three natural bridges, the gorge valley, the Tianmen Cave Bridge, Furong caves, 45 degree Pingange Cableway, and Fairy Mt with the Mist Pavilion. You need more than one day to cover several main attractions, and even more for the entire park. This amazing and picturesque creation of mother nature easily rivals any of the natural world wonders. In areas without people you are rewarded with the tranquility of nature, and wonderful rich oxygen – often lost within the large cities of China. The mighty Yangtze River has spent thousands of years cutting through the mountains and creating this magnificent long narrow gorge with steep walls, limestone formations, caves, and underground rivers. It has only been opened to the public since 2014. The gorge walkway, 1500 meters in length, hangs from the 500 meter cliff walls about 100 meters of the canyon floor. In some areas the gorge narrows to only several metres wide. A must visit “world class” attraction.
