The Ultimate Skywalk Experience

Suspended 300 meters (984 feet) above the lush green floor of the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon, this engineering marvel offers one of the most thrilling pedestrian experiences on Earth. Designed by architect Haim Dotan, the bridge stretches 430 meters between two sheer cliffs, paved with 99 panels of triple-layered transparent glass. Far more than just a bridge, your visit includes a descent into the canyon itself, where you can opt for a high-speed slide, a VR flight experience, or a peaceful boat ride along the turquoise stream below. Whether you are an adrenaline junkie looking to conquer the world's highest bungee jump or a nature lover seeking unparalleled panoramic views, this is a bucket-list destination that defies gravity.

Terrifyingly Beautiful

The view straight down is absolutely insane. I was scared at first but the glass is so thick you feel safe. Booking online saved us a massive queue at the ticket hall. Highly recommend the slide down to the bottom!

Seamless Experience

Our guide picked us up from the hotel and handled all the passport checks. The bridge itself is spectacular, but the canyon hike afterwards was the surprise highlight. Beautiful scenery and very clean.

Crowded but Worth It

We went in August and it was very busy, but the bridge is long enough to find a spot for photos. Note: you cannot bring big cameras! I had to locker mine. Phone photos only.

Must do in China

The engineering is incredible. We did the 'Line B' ticket which includes the bridge and the canyon walk. The boat ride at the end was a relaxing finish. Wear comfortable shoes!

Good organization

Very strict security but it makes you feel safe. The VR experience at the end was fun for the kids. Make sure to bring your passport or you cannot enter.

Breathtaking views

Photos cannot do it justice. It is high! We booked the private tour which was great because the park is far from the city. Our driver was excellent.

A long day but fun

The bridge is the main event but don't skip the canyon. It's a lot of stairs down so be fit. The glass was clean and clear. Great for adrenaline junkies.

Winter visit

Went in December, less crowded than summer. It was cold on the bridge with the wind, so dress warm. The glass was slightly frosty which was cool. Easy booking process.
