Travel Guides & Tips in this video
- Tip 1When in Chongqing, watch out for bright red fruits; they are artificially colored and not recommended to eat. Locals warned us about them, although I was curious to try them myself. I opted for Bing Tang Hulu instead. (4:34)
- Tip 2For tours to Wulong's Three Natural Bridges, consider a private tour (around 400-500 RMB) which includes tickets and handles any issues. Avoid tours costing 900 RMB or more. Without a tour, you'll need to buy tickets and take a bus to the scenic area. (6:28)
