。 Three natural bridges The Wulong Karst (Chinese: 武隆喀斯特 ) is a natural karst landscape located within the borders of Wulong County, Chongqing Municipality.It is divided into three areas containing the Three Natural Bridges, the Qingkou Tiankeng ( 箐口天坑 ) and Furong Cave respectively. It is a part of the Wulong Karst National Geology Park as well as part of the South China Karst, a UNESCOWorld Heritage Site. 20 kilometres (12 mi) southeast of Wulong County town, the area lies on the border of Baiguo and Hetao villages. The Three Natural Bridges are a series of natural limestone 石灰岩 bridges located in fairy mountain Town ( 仙女山镇 ), Wulong County.They lie within the Wulong Karst National Geology Park, itself a part of the South China Karst-Wulong Karst UNESCO World Heritage Site.In Chinese, the bridges are all named after dragons, namely the Tianglong (literally Sky Dragon) Qinglong (literally Azure 蔚蓝的 Dragon) and Heilong (literally Black Dragon) bridges. Spanning the Yangshui River, a tributary 支流 of the Wu River, the bridges are at the centre of a 20 square kilometres (7.7 sq mi) conservation area. Given that the distance between the upper end of the Tianlong Bridge and the lower end of the Heilong Bridge is only 1,500 metres (4,900 ft), these are not the longest natural bridges. However, they are the only such group of karst structures in the world. Between the bridges lie the Qinglong and Shenying tiankengs which have a depth of 276 –285 meters and a circumference 圆周 of 300 –522 meters.
