Wulong Forest is a forest that lies on the coast of the western regions of the Earth Kingdom. It is notable for the hundreds of rock columns that tower over the landscape.

Wulong Forest was the site of the Battle at Wulong Forest. Unfortunately, much of the forest was burned and destroyed by Ozai and his Firebenders during the first wave of the attacks. Despite the ferocity of Ozai's attack, Aang and his friends defeated him and his army, and Aang used the Avatar State to extinguish the massive forest fire with Waterbending, thus saving the remainder of the forest.

[edit] Trivia

  • The name of the forest is derived from the Chinese word wūlóng, also spelled oolong, which means "black dragon".
  • Also, the name is possibly derived from the currency of Cowboy Bebop, "Wulongs," as the creators are large fans of it.
  • Wulong Forest strongly resembles the landscape seen in the Avatar opening. This was possibly intended by the creators to tie the series together.
  • There is a Wulong forest located in northern China near Dandong, on the Korean border. Coincidentally, it's famous for its karst structures.
