10:30 – Three Natural Bridges Scenic AreaUpon arrival, board the
included scenic shuttle bus to the entrance of the Three Natural Bridges.
Your exploration begins with the
Tianlong Spiral Elevator, a 135.85-meter sightseeing elevator built directly into the vertical karst cliff face. The rotating cabin descends 115 meters to the bottom of the massive tiankeng (giant sinkhole) in around 60 seconds, offering sweeping, multi-angle views of towering rock walls and the sprawling karst basin below.
From the valley floor, follow the paved trail through one of the world’s largest natural arch clusters. You will walk beneath three colossal stone bridges — Tianlong, Qinglong and Heilong Bridges — each carved by millions of years of water erosion, and visit the historic Tianfu Official Post, the iconic filming location of
Curse of the Golden Flower. Surrounded by sheer cliff faces, cascading streams and lush subtropical vegetation, you will experience the breathtaking scale of this ancient natural wonder.
At the end of the hiking route, take the
included exit battery cart back to the shuttle bus stop, saving you the final uphill climb.
