Recently, a pair of graceful mandarin ducks arrived in the green waters and secluded valleys of Wulong's Three Natural Bridges, adding a touch of lively tenderness to the karst landscape. Wulong's Three Natural Bridges is a typical karst landform, a rare geological wonder and tourist area, and a filming location for "Curse of the Golden Flower" and "Transformers: Age of Extinction." It consists of three natural stone arch bridges—Tianlong Bridge, Qinglong Bridge, and Heilong Bridge—spanning the Yangshui River Gorge, creating the unique spectacle of "three bridges over two dolines." Visitors can take a sightseeing elevator down to the bottom of the tiankeng (giant doline), then stroll along a quiet path. The area is lush and green, with streams flowing by, and looking up reveals towering cliffs and cascading mountain springs. The Tang-style "Tianfu Inn" in the tiankeng near Tianlong Bridge is a popular movie set, and the scenic area also features models of the mechanical monsters from the film. Now, this pair of ducks has become the newest sensation, and a nationwide contest is being held to find them a catchy name. Come to Wulong to see this lively pair of mandarin ducks, experience the unique charm of the karst landscape, and maybe the name you choose will make them even more famous.
