The Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge (张家界玻璃桥) is the world's highest glass bridge — a 430-meter span across a 300-meter-deep canyon that tests even the bravest visitors.

What to See

The Bridge — A glass-bottomed bridge spanning a deep canyon. The glass is transparent — you can see straight down to the canyon floor 300 meters below.

The Canyon — The bridge spans the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon — a deep gorge with waterfalls and lush vegetation. The views from the bridge are breathtaking.

The Experience — Walking across the bridge is a test of nerve. The glass creaks (deliberately, for effect), and the canyon yawns below your feet.
