To Wulong Karst National Park, take train from North or South side of Chongqing North Station?

It depends on the train no. Normally if you book K trains, then you enter though South Square; if it's C trains, then North Square. The North and South Squares have been connected with each other by a passenger, so don't worry too much if you go to the wrong side.

There is no direct bus to Fairy Mountain. You can take a train from North Railway Station to Wulong first and then change to bus to Fairy Town. Or you can take a taxi/metro to Sigongli Bus Station first and then take a bus to Wulong, finally change bus to Fairy Town.
