Day 4-5: Natural beauty

Located about 130 km southeast of Chongqing's urban area, Wulong district is renowned for its natural beauty and cultural depth.

Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007, this location is renowned for its karst landforms and a host of prominent attractions. These include three natural bridges, a gorge valley, the Furong Cave and the Xiannyu (Fairy) Mountain.

The three natural bridges formed stunning backdrops to scenes from Michael Bay's 2014 blockbuster, Transformers: Age of Extinction, and Zhang Yimou's 2006 historical epic, Curse of the Golden Flower.
