Was a unique half day family experience for us. We have bought a combined ticket of the glass bridge and 5 attractions. Children and elderly received discounted ticket. You need to have passport to be able to buy a ticket. If you take a taxi, ask to bring you directly to the glass bridge entrance that is higher located than the main entrance. But you can reach the glass bridge from lower gate by using free shuttle bus. We initially intended to visit only the glass bridge, but we were very satisfied to have the combined one in the end. After glass bridge we visited Virtual reality view in baloon (you will receive hygienic one use towels on your face). Next we entered down and up the elevator. Third was zipline to.cross the canyon. Was actually very safe and pleasant also for our elderly group member. Please note that children under 30 kg weight are not enter the zip line! So please check in advance the restrictions for After we moved over to the other side by zipline, we tried the multi level slide. Before sliding, we got equiped with sliding trousers and hand gloves. Right after you can have rest in the near by buffet. Then we transerred on last attraction- the boat- to our final destination- walk in the Grand canyon. This was amazingly comfortable with beautiful views on the smaragd coloured green water. The walk is not difficult and has antislippery surface on most of the wooden bridge pathways. We had to wear raincoats on some parts of the walk due to rain. There is a colourfully lighted cave as well and toilettes. Overall was a very pleasant family experience. On day of our visit the place was not crowded and it took as 4 to 5 hours to enjoy everything without time pressure.Recommend to inquire in your hotel to help you to purchase the tickets. Please note that the Grand canyon is located around 30 min by car from the Zhangjiajie national forrest park and you need to buy a separate entrance ticket.

The glass bridge maybe the postcard of this attraction, but the gorge and canyon itself is breathtaking. A blending of man made outdoor activities with stunning natural gorge surrounding, make it even more exciting to visit. The park layout design is interesting, visitors enter at the highest point of the canyon, then hiking or a combination of hiking and joining rides on a one way path towards the park exit. For those seeking adrenaline rush, bungee jumping, zip lining over a deep and vast canyon and sliding are fun activities and act as means of transportation (taking you to next location on the one way route). For those who prefer a less heart beating activity, can choose to pay for a fast elevator down or to hike several hundred meters down an almost vertical trail. Once you are at the bottom of the canyon, there is a wonderful 3 kilometers trail zipping along the stream that leads you to the boat pier. There is an outdoor cafe, partially under rock wall by where you can have coffee and relax. There is a small "bandit" cave with colorful lighting on the trail. The final section is a 10 minute boat cruise on the serene lake. The park is some 30 minutes away from Wulingyan Zhangjiajie national park. It's worth adding half a day or another full day in the itinerary.

Good views from the glass bridge, although it's not entirely glass, only glass pieces within the metal bridge. The bridge is not as scary as it seems, people just made a big deal about it. Just walk through it! Hugeeeeee crowds even though it's not peak season, you won't be able to get a picture without people in the background. Walking sticks or huge-sized cameras are not allowed. Real challenge comes when walking the 1680 stairs down to the canyon. Not recommended for people who're not physically fit in case your legs go weak. The walk along the river is easy with walking paths nicely laid. Get prepared with umbrella or raincoats as you'll get wet while walking along the river due to multiple waterfalls along. A boat ride to end the visit to the grand canyon. Mountain/canyon view is good too. Recommended to visit once in your lifetime for the magnificent views despite of the never ending crowds.

Also vorab für alle welche die die Brücke sehen wollen sei vorab gesagt, es ist kompliziert. China und die Art und Weise wie man seine Bürger kontrollieren will macht das Unterfangen etwas schwierig. Es ist nicht möglich vor Ort Tickets zu kaufen. Das war mir bewusst. Man muss diese mühselig über eine Agentur oder auf der offiziellen chinesischen Website kaufen. Es dürfte so ein Ansturm auf die Brücke sein, dass es nicht möglich ist vor Ort zu kaufen. Es gibt eine Ausnahme: Man ist Student. Egal ob National oder International. Studenten haben mit Ihrem Studentenausweis die Möglichkeit vor Ort Tickets zu bekommen. Nicht vergessen den Reisepass mitzunehmen.

Die Anreise erfolgt per Bus von Wulingyan District in der Gui Hua Road auf Höhe Nr. 106. 11 RMB/Person pro Richtung. Ein wirklich fairer Preis wenn man bedenkt, dass man 40 Minuten fährt. Der Bus bringt einen direkt zum Eingang der Glasbrücke. Dort angekommen beginnt das Kasperltheater. Man geht in einen Nationalpark. Aber wer China kennt, der weiß dass ein Nationalpark nicht ein wirklicher Nationalpark wie in Europa ist, sondern eher eine Sightseeing Massenabfertigung, Bürgerkontrolle Anlage ist. Es gibt dort kaum Ruhe, geschweige denn Erholung. Also wer was zum Entspannen sucht, bleibt lieber in Europa.

Aber das war mir auch vor der Reise bewusst. So nachdem man sich anstellt und einen Check wie am Flughafen hinter sich hat (Gepäcksröngten+ Metalldetektor) wurde ich darauf hingewiesen, dass keine Kameras erlaubt sind. Ich musste also meine Kamera abgeben. Eh klar wieso braucht man eine Kamera in einem Nationalpark. Der Security war wirklich nett und zeigte auf ein Schild in Englisch. Sinngemäß stand dort geschrieben, das aus Sicherheitsgründen keine Kameras mitgenommen werden dürfen. Was für ein Sicherheitsrisiko System oder Spiegelreflexkameras darstellen konnte nicht erklärt werden. Das wird auch nicht hinterfragt. Die kommunistische Partei gibt alles vor, das Volk folgt. Und Punkt. So jetzt wollte ich die Kamera abgeben. Es gibt Spinds, wo mal für 5-10 RMB seine Sachen einsperren kann. Tja, nur wird dort kein Bargeld genommen. Bargeld ist in China eher unüblich. Das meiste wird mit We Chatt bezahlt. Ist wie Whats App, hat aber auch eine Bezahlfunktion dabei. Nur ein klassischer Touri verwendet kein We Chat. Ich habs zwar, aber die Bezahlfunktion funktioniert nicht.

Wer sich jetzt fragt wieso die Chinesen kein Whats App verwenden. Ganz einfach: Kontrolle. Die Regierung kann Whats App nicht mitlesen, We Chat schon. Somit soll am Besten das Ganze Leben über We Chat ablaufen, auch die Zahlungen. Somit ohne We Chat kein Spind, keine Eintritt aufgrund der Kamera.

Ich kann euch Empfehlen, schaut euch lieber die Avatar Mountains an. Die sind wirklich schön:) Aber nicht wundern, dort muss man Fingerabdrücke abgeben🙈. China ist wirklich schön, und ich kann es jedem weiterempfehlen. Ich schreibe das Kommentar, damit euch nicht das Selbe ...
