What’s the Deal with Wulong Karst Geopark?

Okay, so the Wulong Karst Geopark, or the Three Natural Bridges as its also named, is that geological wonder. I mean, it really is something! Imagine towering natural bridges carved out over like, well, millions of years. That’s basically what you get. Actually, there’s a scene or two from Transformers: Age of Extinction was filmed there. It might strike you as being familiar when you see the rock structures for real. Very grand!

Now, the hike itself around the geopark is surprisingly pretty moderate. So, expect some stairs and gentle slopes and things like that. I suppose, comfortable shoes are an absolute must. I mean, no heels, that’s for sure. And that viewing platform where you can snap photos of the bridges? The scenery makes the climb so worth it.

Fairy Mountain: Is it Really That Enchanting?

Fairy Mountain, also known as Fairy Mountain National Forest Park. Some people name it as the “Switzerland of the Orient”. Well, I’ll be truthful. I went during that season. It has like, sweeping meadows and forests. But apparently, it’s a completely changed experience depending on the season. The spring is so alive, and bursting with color! I hear from others that in winter, you can even find the snow. You could find some awesome scenery, potentially. Don’t pass up riding on the carts if offered. You will find you want to travel the grassland quickly. Plus, there are horses you might enjoy riding.

So, my take is that Fairy Mountain really lives up to a certain hype. If you catch it when the place looks its best, like when everything is in full bloom, it definitely makes for a memorable experience.

Furong Cave: Into the Depths

Furong Cave might be for you if you enjoy seeing caves! A whole network of stalactites, stalagmites, and bizarre rock formations are naturally formed throughout a long time. Also, It can be a welcome change once you’re done in outdoor parks. You can get an indoor adventure and explore!

What’s great is that walkways have already been constructed throughout the caverns, so there’s a feeling of seeing safely. Also, lights have been fixed for displaying a bit more dramatic view of particular formations and cave’s dimensions. Very great for taking photographs! What may cause some worry is crowds. It could easily turn busy there especially during a local holidays, and expect jostling between other tourists to occur from point A to point B. Come earlier.

The Car: Freedom or Just a Ride?

Having a car as part of that package is like, honestly, the best decision! So, the public transportation might work, of course. However, trying to fit three places in two days would prove difficult if I was to use the time tables that could have many time and place constraints involved.

The driver in this situation also doubled as like, a local guide. The guide knows about the routes so he has no worry when dropping people between trailheads. He also can tell you all trivia about the places. Make sure the guide can converse a little, very!
