Yuntiandu Glass BridgeZhangjiajie Grand Canyon Glass Bridge
🏛️ What It Is
The Yuntiandu Glass Bridge spans the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon. It is 430 meters long, 6 meters wide, and hangs approximately 300 meters above the canyon floor, constructed from 99 panels of transparent glass. It has won the Arthur Hayden Award, often referred to as the “Nobel Prize” of the bridge engineering world.Walking on the bridge, you’ll find a bottomless abyss right beneath your feet—you can clearly see the river and trees at the bottom of the canyon. The bungee jumping platform nearby is 260 meters above the canyon floor, making it one of the highest commercial bungee sites in the world.
✨ Why Visit
This is one of the most famous glass bridges in the world. The transparent glass beneath your feet allows you to look straight down into the canyon 300 meters below—it’s far more thrilling than the glass walkway at Tianmen Mountain. Even if you’re not afraid of heights, your legs will go weak the first time you step onto it.
Tips for Visitors
The 178-yuan Route B ticket offers the best value
Route B includes the Glass Bridge, Grand Canyon, boat tour, and insurance. Route A only includes the Grand Canyon and does not include the Glass Bridge. Don’t buy the wrong one!
Water bottles and cameras are not allowed on the bridge.
Thermoses, cameras, hiking poles, and similar items are prohibited on the bridge. There are lockers at the entrance for about 5 yuan per locker.
Taking the zip line down the mountain is the most thrilling way to go.
After exploring the glass bridge, take the zip line (358 meters long, weight limit 30–90 kg) down to the bottom of the canyon—it’s 10 times faster than taking the elevator.
Common Mistakes
❌ The A-Line ticket doesn’t include the glass bridge
I bought the ticket because it was cheap.
Consequence: Route A only takes you through the canyon and does not go over the glass bridge. To experience the glass bridge, you must purchase Route B.
❌ Go after 3:00 PM
I thought I could enter the park at any time.
Consequence: Park admission closes after 3:00 PM. The Grand Canyon and Glass Bridge require at least 3 hours, so you must arrive in the morning.
