Wulong Karst: Longshuixia Fissure Gorge

Discover a Hidden World Beneath the Mountains

A Natural Wonder of the Wulong Karst

Located in the heart of Wulong Karst, Chongqing, the Longshuixia Fissure Gorge is one of the most dramatic examples of karst landforms in southern China. Unlike wide open valleys or mountain viewpoints, this attraction invites visitors to journey deep into the Earth, where towering cliffs, narrow passages, and flowing water create a powerful sense of mystery and awe.

A Canyon Carved by Water and Time

Longshuixia Fissure Gorge was formed over millions of years as underground rivers cut through thick limestone layers. The result is a deep, narrow gorge with vertical rock walls rising up to several hundred meters. In some sections, the sky appears only as a thin line above, while waterfalls cascade down the cliffs, filling the air with cool mist and echoing sounds of nature. This rare geological structure makes the gorge a living textbook of karst evolution.

An Immersive Walking Experience

Visitors explore the gorge along well-designed wooden walkways and stone paths that wind between cliffs and streams. The route is mostly downhill, allowing for a comfortable yet adventurous walk suitable for a wide range of travelers. Along the way, crystal-clear water, moss-covered rocks, and dramatic light-and-shadow effects create constantly changing scenery, making every step a photographer’s dream.

Cool, Refreshing, and Full of Energy

Thanks to its depth and flowing water, Longshuixia Fissure Gorge remains cool and refreshing even in summer, offering a perfect escape from city heat. The sound of rushing water and the fresh mountain air make this journey both relaxing and energizing.

Why Longshuixia Fissure Gorge Is Worth Visiting

Easily combined with the Three Natural Bridges and other Wulong highlights, Longshuixia Fissure Gorge is ideal for travelers seeking unique landscapes, light adventure, and close contact with nature. It is not just a walk through a canyon, but a journey into a hidden world shaped by time—an unforgettable chapter of any Chongqing adventure.
