Attractions | Recommended Must-See Routes
📍 Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Slide Station
Address: Inside the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon, Sanguansi Township, Cili County, Zhangjiajie City
This recommended route is "Route B"—the Glass Bridge and a panoramic hike through the Grand Canyon. It's highly recommended by users for its excellent value and comprehensive views! Below are detailed directions:
1. Departing from the Visitor Center: We recommend checking in large luggage (glasses, sharp objects, etc.) at the foot of the mountain. This service is free at the scenic area. This will facilitate an easy ascent. 2. Glass Bridge: This approximately 430-meter glass bridge overlooks the bottomless canyon. Be sure to take photos as you walk. Rainy days with clouds and mist create a fairyland-like atmosphere, but the faint of heart will definitely feel weak! It's recommended to reserve time to queue in advance.
3. Qiaodong Experience Center & Glass Plank Road: Walk along the bridge to the plank road, where you'll find stunning panoramic views of the canyon. On rainy days, the dramatic drop to the ground is shrouded in clouds, making for breathtaking photo opportunities!
4. Experience Area: Route B offers tickets to experience popular attractions like the iFly VR, Sculpture Elevator, Sightseeing Elevator, Treasure Hunt Elevator, and Wuwangpo Slide. The slide is especially recommended, as it allows for a quick descent from the "Slide Upper Station" – a truly fun experience! (Recommendation: If you're worried about slippery conditions in the rain, consider whether to try it or not.)
5. Rainbow Plaza & Touching Cave: The colorful Rainbow Plaza is perfect for taking photos with friends. Touching the entrance to the cave is filled with mystery. Stepping into the stone cave and gazing out over the vast expanse of the cave, the sky and greenery blend beautifully, offering the most soothing moments of the hike!
6. Shenquan Lake Cruise: If you still have the energy, be sure to take a Shenquan Lake cruise and experience the blend of mountains and water in the canyon. The lake is crystal clear and especially quiet and refreshing in the rain and fog.
7. Canyon Exit: The entire route is approximately 3.5 kilometers, and the walking and activity experience takes approximately 4 hours, perfect for both active and quiet activities!
Tips for the Tour
- Transportation: Departing from Cili, it is recommended to allow approximately one hour for a round-trip drive to the Forest Park.
- Estimated Time: We recommend allocating 0.5 days to the scenic area. Depart early to avoid crowds. Rainy days offer a unique experience of the Grand Canyon's ethereal atmosphere.
- Essential Items: Free storage is available at the foot of the mountain. Avoid bringing glass or sharp objects. If you're taking Route B, remember to only store them at the foot of the mountain, as they will be difficult to retrieve. - Rain gear: The canyon is often foggy and rainy, so it's recommended to wear non-slip sneakers and a raincoat for easy walking.
