Itinerary
Begin your adventure by meeting your guide in the lobby of your hotel located in downtown Chongqing. From there, you'll embark on a comfortable journey in an air-conditioned vehicle to the Wulong Karst Geological Park. The trip, lasting around three hours, provides an excellent opportunity to unwind and soak in the charming rural scenery along the way. First Destination: Fairy Mountain National Forest Park Revered as the "Premier Southern Pasture" and the "Switzerland of the East," this park is a must-see highlight of the tour. Prepare to be enchanted by its stunning natural beauty. Once inside, your guide will lead you into the vast alpine meadows. As you wander through this idyllic landscape, you might spot herds of sheep and cattle grazing serenely.
Carved by nature over millions of years, the 3 Natural Bridges are a geological marvel. Their fame soared after featuring in the movie Curse of the Golden Flower, and they never fail to amaze visitors. Upon arrival at the scenic site, your guide will accompany you to the remarkable observation elevator at the entrance. As the elevator descends straight down, peer through the glass panels and watch as the steep cliffs flash by, giving you an exhilarating feeling of uncovering the earth’s hidden secrets. At the base, the first sight that greets you is the imposing Tianlong Bridge, towering at an astonishing 235 meters. The mysterious caves beneath, with their distinctive formations, are truly a sight to behold. Moving on to Qinglong Bridge and finally Heilong Bridge, you’ll marvel at the fascinating rock patterns on the bridge walls and encounter various hanging springs, like Wuquan (Fog Spring) and Zhenzhuquan (Pearl Spring).
To make your experience even more captivating, your guide will share interesting anecdotes from the movie shoots that took place here. Once the tour concludes, you’ll be safely transported back to your hotel.

An absolutely fantastic hidden gem of a tour. Yes, the bus ride was about 3-3.5 hrs each way but the time flew by with our tour guide Albert’s continually engaging and energetic commentary and the ruggedly picturesque scenery throughout. It was great to learn about the history of the surrounding area from a local and glean some insight into the cultural context of what we were seeing. Lunch was incredible —so much food, all so good! We got a decent amount of time at the park itself, especially given the longer travel time to get there. Albert did a good job helping us keep to a pace that would ensure we were able to hit the sights on the main paved trail, while being graciously flexible with time. There were a fair amount of local tourists at the park but not overwhelmingly crowded. Did a great job keeping track of all 11 of us in the group. Stopped for lunch on the way to the park and took another pit stop for snacks/light food on the way back. Another huge plus was Albert was able to help with translation when buying things. Definitely worth the price with a big group. We had a wide range of physical abilities in the group —we had someone who was a couple weeks out of a boot, another with a casted arm and others who had been hitting the gym before sunrise. Nonetheless, everyone thoroughly enjoyed the trip!
