In July 2015, it was my first time visiting Wulong, southeast of Chongqing, which left a deep impression on me. Even today, I can’t sleep when I think about the amazement and surprise brought by this world-class limestone landform. In September 2017, when I had the urge to visit Wulong again, I flew there as soon as I could. I was looking forward to seeing the area once more because I was so impressed by my previous visit. My hopes were high due to the success of my first trip. Wulong is similar to my hometown near the Wudang Mountains and the Shennongjia forestry district in Hubei, where wonder and beauty collide. Because you can crouch in the Tiankeng (pinyin writing meaning ‘sky hole’ or ‘heaven pit’, basically a gigantic, and I mean HUGE, hole in ... read more

Human emotions are interlinked, and everyone wants their loved ones to be with them for as long as possible. When passing away becomes inevitable, do you have a way to keep your loved one’s heart alive and let this unique rhythm of life remind you of the joy they brought you? How do we record a person's existence? Christian Boltanski, the famous French sculptor, artist, painter and film producer, was born in 1944. Another of his many talents is adjusting the memory of someone through his creations. "We arrived,we left.". In 2008, Boltanski began a new artistic experiment.

In many areas of South China, when referring to taste of the mountain demon berries, mujiangzi, people’s opinions are widely divided. Those who like them are crazy about their taste, while others despise the taste and cannot even stand their smell. Mujiangzi is a seasonal vegetable, which grows on the mountains in Wulong. In places where humidity is high, mujiangzi can be harvested year-round. Mujiangzi is a key food for the people of Wulong. The period of time in which mujiangzi can be harvested here is short, and fresh mujiangzi spoils quickly losing its essential oils. Therefore, flavor is compromised when the food is dried. Thus, mujiangzi can only be found in towns which are nearby mountains and forests. It is difficult to transport this product to the city quickly enough for it to be consumed ... read more

In every deep summer, Chongqing is hotter than blazes and hard to stay outside. The crowd of those famous summer resorts aroused my idea of looking for a place to get away from the heat. When hearing about Zhuzixi by chance, I became interested immediately. Zhuzixi, which locates in Haokou, Wulong, is the upstream of Furong River and the buffer protection zone of it, so it has not been overly developed as a scenic spot. Many locals from Chongqing do not know that there is such a cool and primitive place. If going there, you need to reach Wulong town center first, then take a minibus to Jiangkou with Wujiang River along the way. The forest alongside reflects its green in the water that has the same colour, which is so delightful. Then you would arrive ... read more

Wulong is flush with fresh air and romantic scenery. Every July and August, a sea of alpine sunflowers blossom. One by one, the flowers open, exposing their previously hidden beauty. 2000 meters above sea level there lies 1000 acres of sunflower fields. It’s a spectacular sight to see! Brightly colored, charming and sturdy, the blooming flowers flood the areas between the mountains and green waters, spread out into a spectacular golden mass. They are easily the most striking scenery of the season. The confident poise of the sunflower seems to say, "Pursue your own happiness bravely"! Perhaps, this is the ideal scene for confidence to win out and let lovers proclaim their true feelings to one another. In addition to the sunflower fields, there is also a garden full of marigolds, a flower symbolizing "tender love, ... read more

Simian Mountain offers a landscape incredibly unique within China – it is home to numerous breath-taking waterfalls. Wangxiangtai Waterfall is arguably the most spectacular of all waterfalls on Simian Mountain. It stands 152 meters high and 37.7 meters wide. Some people say that Wangxiangtai is God’s masterpiece and is a must-see travel destination. The Couple Tree Going up the escalator from Wangxiangtai parking lot, I walked under the Couple Tree which is a hard, broad-leaved evergreen tree. This leafy tree is dense and is used as a spot where tourists can cool off during the hot summer months. When viewed from the front, the tree reveals two trunks, one large and one small. From the bottom of the tree, the trunks look intertwined, but at the top, they branch off into two trees. From the side ... read more

In order to have at least one unforgettable experience in my college life, as a fat homebody who doesn't like sports, I actually decided to ride 200 kilometers to Wulong as part of a group ride. Some people might say 200 kilometers is a piece of cake, but it wasn’t easy for me. I had to think about whether my body could handle it after just having surgery. However, I decided to challenge myself and do it. As a result, it took us four days to complete what was originally thought to be a two-day journey. The first day, it took us a long time to leave our starting point, Chongqing. This was my introduction to the pain of riding in Chongqing. I didn’t know how to shift the gears of the mountain bike, which meant ... read more
