Mejor Naturaleza en Zhangjiajie

• Zhangjiajie National Forest Park

  A landscape of more than 3,000 sandstone pillar mountains rising through cloud and forest, covering 264 square kilometres of northwestern Hunan. The pillars — some topping 1,000 metres — were carved over 300 million years by erosion, and the overall effect is less like a mountain range and more like a gallery of vertical sculptures.

• Tianmen Mountain and Glass Walkway

  A separate mountain from the national forest park, Tianmen is notable for a natural cave arch punched through the rock at 1,300 metres, a sheer-sided cliff road with 99 hairpin bends, and a 60-metre glass-bottom walkway bolted to the cliff face at the summit.

• Grand Canyon Glass Bridge

  A 430-metre glass-bottom suspension bridge stretched across the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon at a height of 300 metres, connecting two cliff faces above a river gorge. When it opened in 2016 it held the record for the world's longest and highest glass-bottom bridge.
