I rented a car and driver on December 28th to take Becca, Ryan, and I to Qingyuan to walk out on the glass suspension bridge and glass pedestal platform at the Qingyuan Gulong Canyon, part of the China grand canyon. It is just past the furthest reaches of Guangzhou and took over an hour to get there. Seriously, Guangzhou is massive in size. The blue dot is where I live. Qingyuan is in the Northeast and Hong Kong is southwest. It takes 2 hours by train to get to Hong Kong.
This is something we really wanted to see. There are 8 glass bridges in China and there is another one at the opposite end of this canyon which is further up but much farther away to travel.
Once we bought tickets and another bubble waffle for Ryan, we were bussed up the hill.
The entrance to the park.
Bubble waffles.
From there we climbed up through the canyon to the base of the waterfall. Yes there is snow white and the seven dwarfs among many other western attractions.
We climbed further up to the glass suspension bridge that traverses the canyon.
Here is a video I took as we crossed the suspension bridge. There was a little sway as we crossed and we wore slippers to go across.
After the suspension bridge, we climbed a little further to get to the pedestal bridge being held by none other than a gorilla.
In a Santa hat!
Here is a video of the pedestal bridge.
Images at the end of the video.
And a picture of me with my phone against the glass. This is the last part of the last video.
On the climb down we took some family pictures. If you know my kids they are usually goofy.
More pictures walking back to the lobby of the resort.
On the way home we ate the dried fruit we bought the day before.
