Wulong, Chongqing: Must Visit in China | China Travel Vlog 🇨🇳

This vlog follows Vanessa Huang and Linardo as they journey to the stunning Wulong area of Chongqing, China. The video begins by highlighting the humbling power of nature compared to human achievements, setting the stage for the breathtaking scenery to come. Wulong, known for its three magnificent natural stone arch bridges, is revealed as a location even used for major movie filming. The vlog offers practical tips for visitors, such as recommending a hotel near the tour center for convenience and highlighting the spaciousness and value of the chosen accommodation.

The journey into Wulong National Park is described as a hike, but the availability of elevators for those who need them is noted. The first natural bridge is described as breathtaking, especially with a traditional house in the middle, creating a unique and picturesque scene. The vlog showcases the impressive engineering of the natural bridges, where people can still walk across despite large holes beneath their feet. The area is also highlighted for its traditional Chinese houses, where souvenirs, clothing rentals, and snacks are available.

The vlog points out the filming location for Transformer 4, a spot featuring a famous hole where a scene with a dinosaur and Optimus Prime was shot. The three natural bridges are explained as naturally formed connections between huge cliffs, a remarkable feat of nature. The Halong Bridge, one of the longest, is described as feeling like entering a cave, with an echoing effect and a cool breeze. The higher altitude is noted as a pleasant contrast to the heat of other areas in China.

After the hike, the vlog shows two options to go up: stairs or a scenic bus ride. A small street with food stalls selling potatoes, noodles, and sausages is mentioned. The next destination, Longshuixia Gorge, is described as a must-visit, featuring a 2 km trail with a breathtaking depth. The vlog highlights the unique availability of elevators even in this natural heritage site, showcasing the convenience provided. The trails along the gorge are praised for their safe and well-built construction, even on cliffs, creating a comfortable experience for visitors. The vlog notes that while this location is less popular than the Three Natural Bridges, it offers a more serene and less crowded experience.

The video ends with a visit to Chalong Cave, formed by an underground river, where the sound of flowing water is audible despite the absence of visible water. The final stop is the Galaxy Waterfall, praised for its beauty and the health benefits of the negative oxygen ions it produces. The vlog concludes by emphasizing the calming and relaxing experience of visiting Wulong and encouraging viewers to explore more of China's stunning natural beauty.
