A vast area of natural beauty, this park contains a large number of attractions – endless caves, giant canyons and many waterfalls – the unmissable one is the Three Natural Bridges . Towering above huge, hollowed-out karst formations, these natural bridges (you don't walk across them) are the highest in the world and utterly unique; you won't see anything like them anywhere else on the planet.
Unfortunately, visiting the park as an independent traveller is difficult. While there are regular buses to the unremarkable town of Wǔlóng from Chóngqìng's Sìgōnglǐ Bus Station, the park is 22km northeast of there and you'll need a taxi to reach it. You'll also require private transport to get around the park, which is massive. Each site too, has a separate (and pricey) admission ticket, while the restaurants and hotels scattered around the park are also expensive.
The best way to visit is on a day tour. Expect to pay ¥350 to ¥400 (bring your passport), which will include transport, lunch and admission to the Three Natural Bridges. The tours include at least one other sight in the park, normally Lóngshuǐ Canyon , a very deep gorge off which waterfalls tumble (take an umbrella!). Yangtze River and Green Forest hostels can arrange tours.
