Xiannüshan National Forest Park

仙女山

A high-altitude forest and grassland at about 2,000 m, dubbed the “Switzerland of the East,” and the top choice for Chongqing residents to escape the summer heat and play in the snow in winter.

Xiannüshan sits north of Wulong's urban area at an average elevation of around 1,900 m. Its core is tens of thousands of mu of high mountain grassland surrounded by primeval forest. The grassland offers a miniature train, horseback riding, camping, and various amusement activities. It is cool in summer and snowy in winter. Admission is about CNY 60, and a sightseeing shuttle is also available, though prices should be checked on the official “Wulong Tourism” mini-program. Getting there: take the scenic direct shuttle from Wulong Station, about 40 minutes to Xiannüshan Town, where there is a good range of accommodation. You can combine it with the Three Natural Bridges and the Longshui Gorge Earth Fissure for a two-day trip. Note that temperatures on the mountain vary greatly between day and night, so bring a jacket even in summer.
