✅Glass Bridge (Must👏visit!)
316m long, the first high-altitude glass bridge in Guangdong Province, with cliffs right below - super thrilling!
✅Cloud Racing Car (5-star recommendation)
Super fun, you can control the speed yourself. For more excitement, just don't use the brake. I rode with my 3-year-old, and we had an amazing time. We wanted to ride again right after!

Climb up for panoramic views overlooking the mountain scenery
✅Sky Realm
Staff help take photos for visitors, collect small free photos when going down

A spectacular 168m high waterfall, cascading down magnificently
