Day 4 - Chongqing, China Trip 2026 - Furong Cave Part 2 - Walking inside Furong Cave

• Furong Cave is a national geological park in China. Its huge body, rich cave sediments not only conquered the world cave experts, also welcomed by many visitors. More than 70 kinds of secondary chemical sediment to make this rich landscape, which is majestic, exquisitely carved, luxuriant and make people dizzying.

Inside the cave was so beautiful and the lights make it more magical.

It's quite dark inside, best to use a torchlight that shine brightly. After my nasty fall at the entrance, I had phobia inside, walking very slowly and using my torchlight to light my pathway.

I only use my handphone when I am at a standstill and make sure on a big piece of flat surface hahaha. While walking, I kept my handphone so as not to be distracted by the urge to take photos while walking.

There are many steps and quite steep, those with knee problems, doubt they can climb easily. The steps were quite steep, we climb very high and then walked down all the way down throughout the cave.

The   rock formatiion looked like goddess of mercy.

Took us about an hour to complete the walk inside the cave.

Day 4 - visit to Furong Cave

Furong Cave is a national geological park in China. Its huge body, rich cave sediments not only conquered the world cave experts, also welcomed by many visitors. More than 70 kinds of secondary chemical sediment to make this rich landscape, which is majestic, exquisitely carved and luxuriant .

First, we need to take the cable car up to Furong Cave

Took many photos in here.

The entrance to Furong Cave. OMG, I fall inside the entrance of Furong Cave. It was dark and I tripped over a step. I thought the entrance was a big piece of flat ground but no lights or reflective strip to  indicate steps. I bleed badly at the wrist, some abrasions on the other arm and knees too.

The china guide took me to the First Aid Room to stop the bleeding. Thank goodness. Cannot imagine if I fall in the middle of the cave, definitely will have broken bones cause inside the steps are more steep and dark too. Need flashlight although inside are lighted at the steps.             

After the trip, inside the cable car , I examined my painful arms.

The best thing of this unfortunate fall, I had purchased pre illness travel insurance from NTUC Income. Once I returned to Singapore, I went to see a doctor to make sure there's no infection on my abrasions.

I submitted my medical claim and my original receipt of my broken spectacles that I broke during my fall in Furong Cave. The spectacles was around 3 years old. So suprisingly NTUC Income approved my claim on my medical expenses and my spectacles cost (depreciation 50%). I am so happy. I did not know that I could claim for my broken spectacles till my brother in law informed me.

It was a bad fall that my spectacles frame was bended and lens dropped out (Sobs)

So imagine the rest of my trip I was blind as bat from Day 5 to Day 9 without my spectacles hahaha. Although I had my sunglasses, the only hot weather was in Changshou Lake in Day 4, the rest will cloudy or raining kekeke.

Day 3 - Chongqing, China Trip 2026 - The Impression Wulong

After dinner, we went for The Impression Wulong performance.

The Impression Wulong in Wulong, Chongqing involving more than 100 performers and directed by Zhang Yimou and his team.

The stage is surrounded by nature, mountain and cliffs. The show is about more than an hour and in an open area (so do bring umbrella and jackets as it might rain and cold  at night)

The show was quite interesting telling the story of harsh life of the boat people and the crying marriage.

The video is the ending part of the show.

Day 3 - Chongqing, China Trip 2026 - Fairy Mountain

 Fairy Mountain State Forest Park (include tram), also known as “the Oriental Swiss”. Here, the mountain and plains, forests and grasslands, harmonize elegantly.

Our next sightseeing is at Fairy Mountain Forest Park, the park was huge. At first I thought we had to climb some mountain but it was actually like a very huge farm with horses, cows, sheep, goats, etc

We get to ride the tram round the park.

Dont expect what you see in tik tok about the place to look like what they showcase in tik tok, when actually at the Fairy Mountain, it was filled with crowds and lots of people and chaotic, long queues to board the tram hahaha.

Alpaca for posing photos for a fee

Going for a tram ride  round the huge park took us about 40 minutes.
