Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Glass Bridge

张家界大峡谷云天渡

The transparent glass bridge “Cloud Sky Crossing” spans the Grand Canyon, 300 meters high and 430 meters long, with bungee jumping and zipline on the bridge and canyon hiking and waterfalls below.

Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon is located in Sanguansi Township, Cili County, about 30 km from Wulingyuan. The glass bridge, “Yuntian Crossing,” opened in 2016. It is 430 meters long and 6 meters wide, roughly 300 meters above the valley floor, and is the world's longest and highest fully transparent glass bridge. Its deck is made of 99 pieces of triple-layer laminated glass and can hold up to 800 people at once. There are two ways to visit. First, walk the glass bridge itself (about 30 minutes; you can look down at the canyon from the deck, and there is a transparent viewing area in the middle). The bridge also offers the world's highest commercial bungee jump (about 2,000 yuan) and a high-altitude zipline. Second, explore the Grand Canyon scenic area: from the bridgehead, descend along the boardwalk and through the Yixiantian narrow passage to the valley floor, follow the stream past ancient thousand-year-old vines, Tianhe Falls and more, then take a boat out of the canyon; the full trip takes about 3 hours. Tickets: the glass bridge plus Grand Canyon combined ticket costs about 219 yuan, and the glass bridge alone (Line A) costs about 141 yuan. Book in advance with real-name registration through official Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon channels; on holidays, entry is limited by time slot. Getting there: direct buses run from Wulingyuan bus station to the Grand Canyon (about 40 minutes), and it takes about 1.5 hours from Zhangjiajie city center. You can also join a day tour or hire a car. Visiting on the same day as Huanglong Cave is most convenient (about 20 minutes' drive). Notes: Shoe covers (free) must be worn to walk on the bridge, and visitors may not bring sharp objects, selfie sticks or umbrellas, apart from cameras. Those afraid of heights can walk the non-transparent areas along the sides of the bridge. The canyon has many steps, so wear athletic shoes. The glass bridge may close in rainy or foggy weather, so check official announcements before setting out.
