Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge — Attraction in Zhangjiajie

Went there when it rained, so unfortunately the glass were all watery and less scary because all the scenery down the glass are blurry. As a foreigner, I was required to obtained a physical ticket. The exchange were easy, only passport required. The paper ticket was necessary through out the facalities. When i arrived on zhangjiajie, many locals were offering shoe cover, which they says will be needed for the glass bridge or glass walkway, how its lot cheaper rather than buying it on the spot.. but its pretty scam because the type of shoe cover are totally different and u'll be handed your shoe cover when u r about to walk the bridge. Its not up to us whether to buy it or not. Its mandatory and its in my ticket already. At least mine was like that. Getting there on a bright weather would be really nice. I really wanted to try the cliff walk but it was closed because of the rain. And the zip line was very high up n looks awesome but riding one with rain hitting my face wasnt really fun for me... there were also a fun long slide down the valley. I continued with the boat not knowing that i would have to do a mandatory (mayb about 4km)trekking to board the other boat to the exit of the valley (which is a parking area/tourist centre, not the entrance) They do provide a shuttle though if u want to get back and go out from the entrance. The staff were not very helpful.. i asked a staff if the boat ride were one way or if there were a ride back.. she said i can ride back or take shuttle.. it would have been really nice if she had told me i would have to walk such a distance after the boat ride and the 2nd boat ride didnt bring me back to the original boarding point. Misscom on both way maybe... All in all, beautiful valley... all rain's fault but of course still thankful its a small rain so the bridge was still accessible. There are other glass bridge which play tricks like cracking glass etc, but theres none of that here. There is also a short glass pathway after the bridge. N watching ppl bungee-ing below the bridge from upside the bridge was really something! Half day was pretty enough to spend on this place but again, it was a low day so... There were not many food stalls here so get a nice breakfast...

Zhangjiajie Glass footpath is a skywalk bridge in Zhangjiajie, Hunan, above the Wulingyuan area. The bridge, built as an attraction for tourists, is glass-bottomed and is transparent. When it opened it was the longest and tallest glass bottomed bridge in the world. The bridge, opened to the public on August 20, 2016, measures 430 metres (1,410 ft) in total length and 6 metres (20 ft) in width, and is suspended about 300 metres (980 ft) above the ground. The bridge spans the canyon between two mountain cliffs in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park in the northwest of Hunan province. It is designed to carry up to 800 visitors at a time. The bridge was designed by Israeli architect Haim Dotan.

To build the bridge, engineers erected four support pillars on the edges of the walls of the canyon. The bridge is made of a metal frame with more than 120 glass panels. Each of these panels is three-layered and is a 5.1-centimetre-thick (2 in) slab of tempered glass. There are three long swings attached to the underside of the bridge. There is also a provision for making a 285-metre (935 ft) bungee jump, considered to be highest bungee jump in the world.

According to the Management Committee of the Bridge, the bridge has set ten world records spanning its design and construction.The record as longest glass bridge has since passed to a glass bridge in the Hongyagu Scenic Area, Hebei.

On September 2, 2016, just 13 days after the bridge was opened, the authorities put out a notice saying that they were closing the bridge due to overwhelming visitor traffic.The bridge, designed to hold 800 people at a time and expected to be visited by about 8,000 people per day, had reportedly attracted more than 80,000 visitors per day. The authorities said that the government decided to suspend operations due to the "urgency to improve and update" the attraction, including its car parks, ticket-booking system, and customer service. The bridge reopened on September 30,...
