Just to get to the Fairy Mountain National Forest from Chongqing is a trek in and of itself. We took an entire day to get there and the 3 Natural Bridges near Wu Long. It was a 4 hour ride on a tour bus from Chongqing, and it was quite the trek through the jungle and winding roads. Once we got there, there weren't many people and could enjoy the solitude of few lines and not a lot of people. That was quite the stark difference from overpopulated sky-scraping Chongqing.
We were really surprised when we got there because a local had really talked it up to us on the way there. They said it was the most gorgeous place that he had ever been to. We were shocked to find what you would see at an American Park: open spaces with trees and grass. To us, it was normal, expected around every few blocks in every city. To those in Chongqing however, it was a sanctuary from the city. A haven from the chaos, noise and constant people.
There's a train inside the mountain to take you around with a few stops. We found that many of the stops were the same as before: grass, trees, and open space. What a surprise and shock for us.
