Wulong Karst Scenic Area

I took a day trip about 90 miles east of Chongqing today - high speed train to a 15 min shuttle bus, to an hour long second shuttle bus. It was definitely worth it tho.

I can’t emphasize enough how beautiful the scenic areas are here - so well kept up, beautiful stone paths, and peaceful. At this location they had instrumental music piped in all over which added so much to the experience.

It was called the “three bridges” area which I eventually saw what they meant by “bridges”.

We started up high, and took an elevator to the valley floor and then walked about 5 miles. Sadly, they didn’t provide an elevator to go back up! Just my two feet! They DID provide “bionic legs” tho. No joke. At the bottom there was a lady offering these “exoskeleton” contraptions you strapped on your hips and thighs, and apparently, they “assisted” you walking. I may have to give them a try eventually before I leave!

I also walked the Longshuixia fissure gorge. This was just an “add on” but for me it seemed to be the highlight. It was another 3 miles but definitely worth the experience.
