Stunning Longshui Gorge Walking Guide

🏞️Wulong, Chongqing｜A hidden underground fairyland! Longshui Gorge walking guide💦A jade fallen to the mortal world! This gorge is breathtakingly beautiful‼️
Hidden in Wulong’s green wilderness, waterfall + canyon + plank road = natural air conditioning~ After leaving the Three Natural Bridges, take the scenic shuttle bus to Longshui Gorge. It was formed tens of millions of years ago by mountain-building movements and is a typical karst landform. The canyon is 5 kilometers long and 200-500 meters deep. Wulong Gorge consists of three sections: entrance gorge, mid-way tunnel, and exit gorge. The entire scenic area follows the plank road along the canyon. If the highlight of the Three Natural Bridges is looking up, then the highlight of the gorge is looking down; the nearly vertical cliffs on both sides of the canyon are like they were carved by axes, creating a mysterious and secluded ravine. You might imagine dragons soaring through the mist; as you walk and photograph, you’ll be amazed by the dramatic and ever-changing scenery. When you finally cross the entire canyon and see the sky again, it feels like stepping into a peach blossom paradise.

2️⃣ Gorge Plank Road
A suspended wooden plank road built along the sheer cliff! Below your feet is a clear green stream
⚠️Note: Some sections are narrow and require one-way walking

3️⃣ Three Natural Bridges Viewing Platform
Look up at the narrowest part of the canyon! The rock walls look like they were split by a giant axe
🌿Hidden feature: Look for wild orchids on the rock walls

🍜Food Recommendations:
The roasted potatoes at the entrance are amazing! Crispy outside, sticky inside, served with chili powder
Must try a bowl of Wulong bowl mutton soup after descending; the broth is fresh and the meat tender, very warming

💡Tips to avoid trouble:
• Wear non-slip shoes! Some stone slabs are covered with moss
• Bring a light jacket; the gorge is 5-8°C cooler than outside
• Waterfalls are more spectacular during the high water season (June-August)
