Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge

Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge, aka Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Skywalk, is the world’s longest and highest glass bridge, hanging over Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon. Looking from a distance, it looks like a piece of white silk floating between the clouds and fog, hence it is also called Yuntiandu, meaning “a way of clouds to the sky”. Standing on it, if dare to, you can have a bird’s eye view of the Grand Canyon beneath.

Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Glass Bridge Vs. Tianmen Mountain Glass Plank
Tianmen Mountain is also located in the city of Zhangjiajie, about 60 kilometers (37 miles) away from the Grand Canyon. Different from the Grand Canyon Glass Bridge hanging in the air, Tianmen Mountain Glass Planks are inserted into the mountain cliffs. There are three of them and the most famous one has a vertical height of over 300 meters (984 feet). It is exciting and thrilling to walk on them, too. If you unfortunately do not get a ticket for the glass bridge, these glass planks are also a good try. There are fewer tourists there and the ticket can be generally bought on the spot.

Actually, in Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Scenic Area, there is also a section of glass plank with the same vertical height of the Glass Bridge. The difference is that there is a wooden plank parallel to the glass planks. For visitors afraid of height, maybe Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon’s is more suitable for them.
