Water fun & Cool Retreats

The Wulong River Scenic Area is divided into upstream and downstream. The total distance between the upstream and downstream is 10 kilometers. Most tourists enter and exit from the downstream, because the Wulong River Waterfall and the high-altitude glass plank road are concentrated in the downstream. My husband is quite stubborn. He insisted on walking the 10km, so he chose to enter the scenic area from the upstream. It was very cool along the way, walking in the mountain stream. Finally, the tour ended from the downstream. I saw the waterfall and the high-altitude glass plank road, which needs to be charged separately. The waterfall is very spectacular.

The whole journey is about 10 kilometers. It is flat and not tiring. The scenery is beautiful. The stream is clear and there are many fish. There are also fishing birds flying in the canyon. Because it rained in the morning, there were not many people. There was a special bus from the scenic spot to the exit to take you back to the visitor center. It is worth walking the whole journey.

Wulong River, named after the five dragons holding the saint, is a treasure of nature and humanity, allowing you to appreciate the charm of a paradise on earth. The water of Wulong River is turbulent and clear all year round, and it is an important tributary of the upper reaches of the Tianhe River on the &quot;Qixi Festival&quot;. The Wulong River Scenic Area is connected by pools and waterfalls, and is known as the &quot;Jiuzhaigou of Hubei&quot;.

The Wulong River Glass Bridge is suspended between the peaks on both sides of Tianmeng Lake. The two peaks are steep and the cliffs are steep, with the Wulong River running through the middle! The glass bridge is about 300 meters long and 180 meters high. It is currently the glass bridge with the largest span and the highest vertical height in the province!

First drive to the downstream gate, and be told that you must exchange tickets at the scenic spot transfer point. Tickets are not sold there, and annual cards cannot be verified. The scenic spot transfer point is about four kilometers away from the downstream gate. Everyone should pay attention to the navigation and must first lead to the &quot;Wulonghe Tourist Transfer Center&quot; (Baidu Map). Private cars should be able to drive up by themselves, but you must exchange tickets at the transfer point first, because when I drove up, the guard did not say that the car could not be driven up, he just said that you had to get the ticket first. Later, I found that there were several small cars parked on it, so I guess it is not necessary to buy the ticket for this scenic shuttle bus, because I was going to take a one-way trip, so I did not verify this issue. Originally, several staff members &quot;persuaded&quot; me to go to the downstream gate, but I insisted on going to the upstream gate and walking from top to bottom. I think this saves effort. It is speculated that there should not be many tourists who go back and forth. There is really no point in going back and forth for 20km. It takes a long time, but some elderly tourists in the downstream do not go up at all. They seem to withdraw after playing in the first small tourist area. This kind of tourists can drive up by themselves without taking the scenic shuttle bus. After the walk, I think my way is right. First of all, there are more attractions near the two exits. The downstream is more artificial and more magnificent. The attractions near the upstream exit are more natural waterfalls and rivers. There are no attractions. I think it is the middle section. The road in the whole scenic area is relatively gentle and the slope is very small. There are no steps and it is a gentle slope all the way. It is easier to walk from top to bottom. There were few people in the scenic area on the day I came. There were a few shops selling water and tourist souvenirs near the exit. There was no food in the whole scenic area, inside the entrance and exit. The upstream entrance and exit was under construction when I went there at the end of March. There was a pile of rubble like a hill, which blocked the road. There was an excavator digging on the top of the hill. I couldn&#39;t believe it because it looked like a big construction site. I confirmed it three times. Is the scenic area entered from here? They said yes. The driver of the excavator stopped the excavator arm and moved it aside to make a way for me. I climbed over a pile of rubble. I guess this construction should not take too long. There will be a way out on May Day. The one-way trip plus the shuttle bus takes a total of 4 and a half hours. Parking in the scenic area is 5 yuan for five hours, and 1 yuan per hour after the time limit.
