The journey
Chongqing & Wulong: City, Karst and River
A short extension for travellers who want more than the city. We keep the first evening in Chongqing, then drive into the Wulong karst for two nights, walking the Three Natural Bridges and the Longshuixia Gap before returning to the river. It is a compact, dramatic add-on to Chengdu or a Yangtze cruise.
- Hongya Cave at night
- Wulong Three Natural Bridges
