The Experience
Pickup happens between 8:30am and 10am from your centrally located Guangzhou hotel, where the driver meets you with a nameplate. The 2-hour drive takes you 70km to Gulong Canyon in Qingyuan. Once there, the day shifts from the car to the path: you walk uphill past the Nine-waterfall cascade running from the hilltop to a pool below, building toward the glass sections ahead.
The Glass Walkway spans 520 meters and the Glass Bridge 329 meters — both let you look straight down through the glass at the canyon beneath your feet. Then comes the Glass UFO Platform, a 202-meter section suspended 72 meters in the sky, which holds the world record for suspension span. From there the waterfall view opens up: the water drops from the high mountain into the canyon, visible through the glass as you stand on it. Lunch arrives partway through the day, timed to your start hour, and bottled water is available throughout.
The return drive to your hotel takes roughly 2 hours depending on traffic and time of day. Your English-speaking guide stays with you for the whole tour, handling the logistics and explaining what you are standing on. The tour ends when you reach your hotel.
