      Zhu Li, secretary of the Party Committee of Sanguansi Tujia Township in Cili County, told the reporter of Future Network that the glass bridge is a key project for poverty alleviation through tourism in Cili County, and the number of tourists is very large. For the sake of safety, the number of receptionists is limited, and no more than 800 people can get on the bridge at a time.

  A tour group from Taiwan Province, the treasure island of the motherland, told reporters that they have been in Zhangjiajie for six days and have seen many scenic spots. The reporter asked them how they knew about the glass bridge. They said that they learned about it through friends and saw it on the news. This glass bridge is really shocking, glad you came.

The bridge deck of Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Glass Bridge is paved with 99 pieces of fully transparent glass. From a distance, the glass bridge is as thin as a cicada’s wing and "invisible" in the landscape and sky, with a relative height of about 300 meters from the bottom of the valley. Visitors can clearly see the cliffs under their feet when walking on the bridge, as if walking in the air.
