Day 5: Glass Bridge & Yellow Dragon Cave

Get a rush of adrenaline as you walk across the Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge spanning the Grand Canyon, then delve into the underground world in Yellow Dragon Cave!

A shuttle bus will take you near the 400-meter-long glass bridge. Walking on it, gazing down the running river far below, must be an unforgettable experience. You can make another adventure by taking a ropeway or slide way down before starting your expedition along the valley. The cascades and rivers make it a serene outing, which may ease your tiredness during the 4-mile-long hike.

In the afternoon, marvel at the subterranean palace of ancient stalactites and stalagmites while exploring the Yellow Dragon Cave.
