A perfect blend of history, tradition, and modern vibrance, Hongya Cave is an unmissable highlight of Chongqing’s skyline.

    Wulong gained international recognition after appearing in Michael Bay’s blockbuster Transformers: Age of Extinction, where the Three Natural Bridges were showcased in all their grandeur. These three colossal limestone arch bridges, sculpted by nature over millions of years, are truly one-of-a-kind. Nowhere else in the world can you witness such natural stone bridges of this scale and beauty. During your 2 to 2.5-hour exploration, wander along the valley’s narrow paths, taking in the breathtaking views of the towering stone formations and the serene gorges below. Along the way, stop at an ancient staging post near Qinglong Bridge, a Tang Dynasty (618–907) relic that once served as a hub for officials and travelers.

    Besides the famous movie-site, other interesting nature objects are also in this area, like Fairy Mountain. Fairy Mountain is a breathtaking destination that seamlessly blends natural beauty, outdoor adventure, and leisure. Known as the "Little Switzerland of the East," this vast alpine paradise offers a diverse landscape that changes with the seasons, making it a year-round retreat for nature lovers. The heart of Fairy Mountain is its expansive grasslands, a rare alpine meadow in southwest China that transforms throughout the year—from vibrant wildflowers in spring to golden waves in autumn and a snowy wonderland in winter. Adventure seekers can enjoy horseback riding across the rolling hills, while hikers can climb Tongtian Tower (2,033m) for panoramic mountain views.
