The glass bridge hangs between two cliffs in Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon, a separate scenic area in Cili County next to Wulingyuan.[1] It spans 430 metres, is 6 metres wide and sits about 300 metres above the canyon floor, with a deck of 99 sheets of clear laminated glass.[2] It is not part of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park or Tianmen Mountain.
Look up first, then walk out. The canyon below is a gorge of waterfalls, caves and narrow slots, and the Sky-Hanging Plank Road clings to the rock on the way to the bridge.[3] The scenic area opened in 2009.[2]
Choose your route
The operator runs three routes. Route A stays in the canyon and skips the bridge. Route B walks the canyon and crosses the bridge. Route B1 is the short way to the bridge, using lifts.[3]
| Route | Distance and time | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| A | 3 km, about 3 hours | Canyon only: the narrow slot, waterfalls, caves and Five-Colour Lake[3] |
| B | 3.5 km, about 3.5 hours | Glass bridge plus the canyon, including the Sky-Hanging Plank Road[3] |
| B1 | 1.5 km | Slide, lifts and a glass walkway to the bridge, which doubles as the exit[3] |
Pick B if you want both the bridge and the gorge. Pick B1 when time is short or the walking is too much.
