Chongqing Wulong Fairy Mountain is relatively more remote than the above-mentioned scenic areas. It takes about four hours to drive there from the main urban area. It’s a long way to the mountain, but it’s definitely worth visiting. The mountain is most charming in spring, a season for outing and flower viewing. However, it should be noted that it’s a little bit cold in spring there, so you need to keep warm.
Ticket: RMB 50
If you don’t want the haste, you can stay overnight in Xiannvshan Town and return the next day.
