The experience

The tour starts with pickup at your Guangzhou hotel or downtown location, then a two-hour drive north in a private air-conditioned van with your guide and driver. Once you arrive at Gulong Canyon, you walk the trail through the gorge, moving through the landscape past waterfalls, deep river valleys, and mountain views. The glass bridge itself stretches 1.5 kilometers and sits high above the canyon floor. The circular "UFO" platform at its center is also transparent, so you're standing on glass with the drop visible beneath your feet.

Your guide speaks English or Chinese and can recommend where to eat lunch at a local restaurant near the canyon (you pay for the meal on site). The walk takes in fresh air and natural sounds, and the guide provides context about the region and its culture. After exploring the canyon and crossing the bridge, you have a relaxing return drive to Guangzhou, with drop-off at your hotel or another downtown location.
