Walking on Air · Glass Bridge

Zhangjiajie4.62 hr 30 min15k saved

430 metres of glass slung 300 metres above the Grand Canyon floor. Look down if you dare — the valley falls away beneath your feet.

It sits in Zhangjiajie, and rewards going slowly rather than ticking it off. Best midday clear skies.

Good to know

  • Best time — Midday clear skies
  • Open daytime; specific windows printed on your timed ticket.

Insider tip — The glass bridge spans Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon — the canyon trail below (included) is often better than the bridge itself and far less visited.
