Under the steep peaks of strange rocks, nature uses its superb paintbrushes to perfection in the sinkholes and crevices. In the face of unimaginable geological wonders, everyone is amazed by the greatness of our country's natural resources.

Wulong, Chongqing, has attracted countless tourists due to its national geological park of sinkholes and fissures, the wonders within the Longshui Gorge fissures, the popularity of film and television IPs such as "Curse of the Golden Armor" and "Transformers", as well as the romantic love stories of Xiannv Mountain and Baima Mountain.

Amidst the green mountains and clear waters, facing such a geological wonder, one is not only amazed but also able to relax and unwind. Amidst the mountain roads, it seems like a Chinese style adventure to the center of the earth has emerged.

The Tiankeng and Tiansheng Sanqiao in Xiannv Mountain, Wulong, Chongqing, served as filming locations for "Curse of the Golden Flower" and "Transformers 4". The filming scene of "Tianfu Official Post Station" and the large Transformers props added a touch of mystery to the exquisite nature.

Tianlong Bridge, Qinglong Bridge, and Heilong Bridge, each with its own unique charm. The Tianlong Bridge is 200 meters high and spans 300 meters, named after its towering position. Qinglong Bridge is a natural bridge with the largest vertical height difference, with a height of 350 meters, a width of 150 meters, and a span of 400 meters. It is named Qinglong Bridge because the sun sets in the west and the sunset shines brightly, like a real dragon rising straight to the blue sky. The rock at the top of the Black Dragon Bridge is like a black dragon hiding here.

The classical courtyard in the deep mountain canyon, combined with the amazing craftsmanship of nature and the strong IP of "Curse of the Golden Armor" and "Transformers", has made Chongqing Wulong Tiansheng Sanqiao "Tianfu Official Post Station" internationally renowned as the "world's best".

The bamboo forest surrounds the quadrangle courtyard with green tiles and grey walls, and on the antique red lanterns, the four characters "Tianfu Guanyi" stand out prominently in the valley. This post station was first built in the second year of Tang Wude (619 AD) and was an important post station for official information transmission in ancient Fuzhou and Guizhou.

The ancient stories from movies are sung in classical architecture, and the real existence of relay stations also fills people with imagination about the golden age of iron and horses. The beauty and magic of Wulong Tiankeng have attracted countless international tourists, and it has almost become one of the most representative tourist check-in destinations in China in the eyes of foreigners. There are many check-in photos on Instagram.

Looking up at the towering wall, the faint light of the sky makes one feel dizzy and unsure of where they are. Observing the Longshui Gorge fissure in Wulong, Chongqing, it can be inferred that geological changes have occurred over millions of years. Riding the elevator, delving deep into the heart of the earth, leaving one unsure of where they are. Get ready, embark on a journey to the center of the earth.

Longshui Gorge, a fissure style canyon, is an important part of the "Wulong Karst" World Natural Heritage Site, located in Xiannvshan Town, Wulong District. This fissure was formed millions of years ago during mountain building movements and is a typical karst landscape. The canyon is 5 kilometers long, with a travel distance of about 2 kilometers and a depth of 200-500 meters. It is grand in scale and majestic.

The scenic area is exquisite and beautiful, with beautiful scenery. It is characterized by deep canyon walls, primitive vegetation, waterfalls and springs, and fast flowing deep pools. The Milky Way Waterfall, Nine Beaches and Eighteen Pools, and Jiaolong Cold Cave are its iconic landscapes.

The condensed essence of the Longshui Gorge Karst Gorge landform is a profound dream, with a total length of 4km. The mountain paths are crooked and inlaid with green trees, the streams are gurgling and misty, and the deep Longshui Gorge ground seams are so quiet that people can hear the heartbeat.

The cliffs on both sides of the canyon are steep, the rock walls are extremely dangerous, the vegetation is dense, and the ground fissures are extremely narrow. Some are only accessible to people, looking up at the sky, with a ray of daylight; The stream flows long in the isthmus, with springs and waterfalls splashing, creating endless illusions. People walk on the path, water flows at their feet, and the direction of the water varies depending on the terrain and rocks, either fast or slow.

Standing at the bottom of the valley, looking up at the small sky, with peaks turning and white clouds in the distance, I couldn't help but feel a sense of willows and flowers shining brightly. Bending down to scoop water and moisten my face, it's as warm as jade. The dust from the journey has long dissipated, and my tired body and mind feel refreshed and refreshed here. This is probably a kind of purification

From sinkholes, to crevices, and even to the vast Furong Cave, the mysterious atmosphere of adventure always lingers around us.

The Furong Cave, a large limestone cave formed over 1.2 million years ago, is the pride of Wulong, Chongqing. It is a karst world natural heritage site, a 5A level tourist area in China, a national key scenic spot in China, a national geological park in China, and the only cave in the world listed as a world natural heritage site.

Furong Cave has a huge body and a wide variety of chemical sediment types, ranging from macro to micro, from carbonate to sulfate, including sedimentary characteristics of nearly 30 types of caves around the world. Among them, there are stone waterfalls and stone curtains that are 15 meters wide and 21 meters high, smooth and jade like brown paulownia shaped stalagmites, and sparkling curled stones and stone flowers that shine like stars. Their abundance, beauty in form, purity in texture, and wide distribution are rare in China.

The main attractions in the cave include the Jinluan Treasure Hall, Leifeng Pagoda, Jade Pillar Sky, Jade Forest Qionghua, Dog Teeth Crystal Flower, Millennium Kiss, Animal Kingdom, Underwater Dragon Palace, Giant Curtain Waterfall, Stone Field Pearl, Reproductive God Pillar, Coral Jade Pool, etc., which are breathtaking.

The only way to enter Furong Cave is the Furong River Cableway, which not only overlooks the beautiful scenery of Furong River and the spectacular dam, but also the world's longest mountain and water corridor. The Furong River Cableway is 1.88 kilometers long with a height difference of 66 meters. It runs in one direction for 10 minutes and can fully enjoy the beautiful scenery of the mountains, clear waters, and beautiful scenery of the Furong River.

The Furong River is a major tributary on the left bank of the lower reaches of the Wujiang River. The Chongqing section of the Furong River is a national key scenic spot with a length of 35 kilometers. After the reservoir area of the Chongqing Jiangkou Power Station was filled with water in 2003, the river has formed a beautiful high gorge and flat lake scenic area on both sides. The scenic area will cover an area of up to 150 square kilometers, and many islands, harbor bends, and peninsulas will become popular water parks for tourists. The Tianzuo Gallery is breathtakingly beautiful.

The boat passed thousands of mountains with apes shouting without endless.

This poem still echoes in my ears, but the boatmen who toiled by the river for generations have disappeared without a trace. Nowadays, on both sides of the Furong River, one can still vaguely see the path that the boatman walked out of back then. Those difficult years are gone forever, and the large-scale live performance of "Impressions of Wulong" still records the intangible cultural heritage of the boatman. The performance is held every night in Wulong, but due to the prohibition of taking photos, interested tourists can go there on their own.

Chongqing Wulong Xiannv Mountain National Forest Park, known as the "Switzerland of the East", "Summer Palace of the Mountain City", and "First Pastoral Plain of the South", covers a total area of 8910 hectares. It is the best tourist and vacation destination in Chongqing, with its unique charm of high mountain grasslands in the south, rare forest and snow plains in the south, and beautiful green jungle landscapes, as well as the amazing Furong Cave, beautiful Furong River, and the world's largest natural bridge group geological wonders.

Standing in the natural giant "oxygen bar" formed by 330000 acres of forest and 100000 acres of grassland, a slight chill seeps into the skin, deeply sucking on the freshness of the grassland. Horse riding, archery, kite flying, go karting, off-road vehicles, paragliding, grass skiing

The melody of life dancing on the vast grassland. Accompanied by a joyful atmosphere and melodious singing, the delicious roasted sheep have melted into this continuous grassland dream.

Sunbathing on the lush grasslands, the weekend time of Chongqing people flows in the sunshine. A cute dog was wagging its tail near its owner, crouching down to call out to it, and even walked towards me in a friendly manner. I must have heard that I am also a dog lover, so I lifted myself high and held onto the happy moments that slowly fermented on Fairy Mountain········

The romantic and colorful Tianchi Love Scenic Area, located in Baima Mountain, Wulong, Chongqing, with the themes of love culture and tea culture, is called "Wulong Feitian Kiss, Baima Mountain in the World". It is expected to be the first batch of scenic spots opened by Baima Mountain Resort since last month, including Xianya Cliff, Gongcha Garden, Qintai Tea House, Baima Xianjie, Feitian Kiss, Tongxin Bridge, etc.

In the local folk love legend of Wulong, the White Horse Prince Ao Xiaofeng and the Qingyi Fairy Zhang Tianyang were demoted to Xiannv Mountain and White Horse Mountain due to their love for angering the Queen Mother of the West. They faced each other across the river and could not meet. Tian Chi Qing Yuan takes the love story of the White Horse Fairy as its cultural background, integrating love elements into the unique and high-quality natural scenery of White Horse Mountain, forming a unique landscape.

Legend has it that the ninth daughter of the Jade Emperor, the Qingyi Fairy Zhang Tianyang, fell in love at first sight with the Dragon Third Prince Ao Bifeng while playing by the Milky Way. While galloping through the clouds and mist, the two collided with the royal carriage of the Queen Mother. In a fit of anger, the Queen Mother used a black gold ruler to knock them down to earth, transforming them into two mountains. She then used a black gold ruler to draw a river between the two mountains, preventing them from connecting. This is today's White Horse Mountain.

The Dragon Third Prince, who transformed into a white horse, knew that the Qingyi Fairy liked flowers and plants, so he tried his best to turn the White Horse Mountain into a beautiful and ethereal landscape. Nowadays, at the mountaintop, we can expect to see large tea gardens and various green plants, which is the love and romance we can personally experience.

Breathe deeply, in the lush and loving White Horse Mountain.

Big mouth breathing, in the Chongqing forest.

Backed by Xiannv Mountain and facing Baima Mountain, overlooking the sprawling ancient buildings and overlooking the Wujiang River, this is Yangjiao Ancient Town and the hottest landmark in Wulong, Chongqing. In this simple small village, one-stop food, travel, shopping, and entertainment are all available, allowing you to experience the authentic local way of life.

The scenery here is serene and there are not many tourists. Strolling along the streets of the ancient town and seeing the quaint life of the locals, everything is very pleasant. The residents playing chess at the entrance of the village, the elderly couple who insist on handcrafting bamboo utensils, the happy working aunties, and the little girls immersed in the world of Hanfu... What they see in Yangjiao Village is the journey to experience local life.

In fact, the ancient town built along the banks of the Wujiang River is a scenic area with the background of the boatman culture. Although it is a new scenic area, it has a profound culture and history. According to legend, in the mid Qing Dynasty, Yangjiao Town was already a prosperous small town along the banks of the Wujiang River. Before the liberation of China, Yangjiao Town was an important waterway terminal in the Wujiang River basin, so the ancient town mainly relied on Qing style architecture.

During our days in Wulong, my friends and I staged a Chinese style adventure to the center of the earth. We also experienced romantic love legends at Xiannv Mountain and Baima Mountain, and felt the simplicity and hospitality of the locals in Yangjiao Village.

In Wulong, experience the amazing craftsmanship of nature.

In the forest of Chongqing, take big breaths.
