Blue Tears Hidden in the Deep Mountains

The Grand Canyon is absolutely stunning!! I recommend Route B!
🚗 Take the bus from Zhangjiajie Central Bus Station to the Grand Canyon, about 1.5 hours
❗️About tickets 🎫 If you want to buy on a certain app 🐟, don’t purchase at the hotel 🏨 or travel agency first. We only found this out later. There should be some kind of price protection!
🎫 Adult ticket + 7 out of 5 activities: 175*2
🎫 Children: 7 out of 5 activities: 58*2

🟡 Arrive at the tourist distribution center, then take the 🆓 bus to the scenic area entrance
🟣 I chose Route B (Grand Canyon + Glass Bridge). After ticket inspection according to the signs, you can reach the Glass Bridge for photos and check-in
🔴 After that, I chose to take the zipline down. There was a bit of a queue, about 20 minutes at noon. Personally, it’s not very thrilling, so you can ride it with confidence. Lighter people will have sandbags added
🟡 Then take the Yixiantian slide down the mountain. The slide is divided into two sections and is quite long. Try to wear long pants; shorts will cause leg chafing
🟣 After that, walk about four to five kilometers along the bridge to the Shenquan Lake boat dock, then take a boat to the scenic area exit
🔻 Overall route
Route B entrance ➡️ Glass Bridge ➡️ Yixiantian slide ➡️ Canyon sightseeing walkway ➡️ Shenquan Lake boat ride ➡️ Scenic area exit ➡️ Tourist distribution center
🕑 Walking slowly while taking photos will take about four to five hours with stops along the way
❗️ For the return trip, also take the bus at the tourist distribution center. It’s recommended to start early because in summer there are no buses after 6:30 PM, which makes returning to the city more difficult
❗️ Try to wear long pants on the Yixiantian slide; shorts will cause friction and affect the experience
❗️ If you want to experience VR and the elevator, buying a package ticket is cost-effective, but if you choose the elevator route, you won’t get to experience the zipline and slide
