About This Place

Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon is a living museum of the unique Zhangjiajie landform, showcasing the complete spectacle of North Temperate Zone karst topography. The canyon is lush with vegetation, dotted with cascading waterfalls and crystal-clear streams, earning its reputation as a natural oxygen bar. Its crowning glory is the world's highest and longest glass bridge, offering breathtaking views of the 400-meter-deep canyon floor beneath your feet. The one-way hiking route through the canyon typically takes 1-3 hours to complete.

Best Time to Visit

April-May, September-October

Spring and autumn offer the most pleasant weather and stunning scenery. It's best to avoid Chinese national holidays and peak tourist seasons to minimize wait times for the glass bridge and enjoy a more peaceful hiking experience in the canyon.

Avoid Chinese Holidays

Strongly avoid Golden Week (Oct 1-7), Chinese New Year (late Jan/Feb), and Labor Day (May 1-5). Crowds are extreme and tickets often sell out weeks in advance.
