The experience

Your guide picks you up from your centrally located Guangzhou hotel at 8am and drives you 70 km to Gulong Canyon in Qingyuan, a journey of about two hours. Once there, you walk the path to the Nine-waterfall, where nine cascades drop from the hilltop. The main event follows: you cross the Glass Walkway (520 meters) and Glass Bridge (329 meters), both transparent, so you're walking over the canyon itself. The Glass UFO Platform comes next: a viewing platform suspended 72 meters in the air with the world's longest suspension span, where you stand above a waterfall plunging from the mountain into the canyon below.

After exploring the canyon, you stop for lunch at a local restaurant to taste regional food. Then you head to Jinlong Cave, a massive cavern carved by an underground river. You walk through the cave along the river, passing spectacular karst stone formations with your guide. The tour concludes with a drive back to your Guangzhou hotel, ending the day around 5pm to 6pm.
