9:30 AM | Drive to Fairy Mountain National Forest Park
A 1.5-hour scenic drive brings us to Fairy Mountain (Xiannv Shan), a 10km² alpine plateau at 1,900m elevation. Lush pastures, pine forests, and wildflowers create a stark contrast to Chongqing’s urban hustle.

2:00 PM | Drive to Wulong Three Natural Bridges
After lunch, we head to Wulong’s Three Natural Bridges, a geological masterpiece formed over 12 million years. Three colossal stone arches—Tianlong, Qinglong, and Heilong Bridges—span a 400m-deep sinkhole, creating a cathedral-like space beneath.

5:00 PM | Tianfu Posthouse Cultural Stop

5:30 PM | Return to Chongqing
Relax on the 2.5-hour drive back, watching the sunset paint Chongqing’s hills golden. We’ll drop you off at your hotel by 7:30 PM, leaving you with memories of karst wonders and alpine serenity.
