点评:This is a must visit attraction in Zhangjiajie, but there are only 2 sites on my list - the Glass Bridge and the Grand Canyon. This attraction is not located within the Wulingyuan Scenic Area, and we have to take a bus from Wulingyuan Coach Station to visit this attraction. The bus fare costs RMB 12.
Admission charges are free if you just want to visit the Grand Canyon, but for most people, all would like to visit both, and it costs RMB 175 for adults. Seniors above aged 65 enjoyed discount rate and paid only RMB63 per person.
There are also other adventurous programs like zipline, bungy jump, rock climbing, slide way, etc, which are separately charged, but they are not suitable for the weak hearts. There are not as many tourists in the Grand Canyon as in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, so don’t worry about queuing for a long time, except when you take the Zip Line.
The Glass Bridge is the longest and glass bridge in the world. Unlike the Glass Bridge on Tianmen Mountain, which is inserted on the mountainside, Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Glass Bridge hangs over a valley. It provides a superb panorama of the entire Grand Canyon. Standing on it is like floating in the air.
Unfortunately, when we were there, the weather was rather foggy, and we could not take a photo that showed the extent of the length of the entire hanging bridge.
Nevertheless, we enjoyed the 3 km relaxing walk along the valley in the canyon and took the Holy Spring Lake cruise to the exit. Ducks play on the reservoir, and we see egrets flying past. Very scenic, calm, and peaceful walk.
It only took us about half a day to visit this attraction. You can take the same bus to Yellow Dragon Cave (bus fare: RMB 8) on your return trip. But we decided to skip the cave.
翻译:这是张家界必去的景点,但我的清单上只有两个——玻璃桥和大峡谷。玻璃桥不在武陵源风景名胜区内,我们需要从武陵源长途汽车站乘坐公交车才能到达。车费12元。
如果只想参观大峡谷,门票是免费的。但大多数人都想同时参观两个景点,成人票价为175元。65岁以上的老年人可享受优惠价,每人仅需63元。
还有其他一些探险项目,例如高空滑索、蹦极、攀岩、滑道等,需要单独收费,但不适合体力较弱的人。大峡谷的游客不像张家界国家森林公园那么多,所以不用担心排队时间太长,除非你乘坐高空滑索。
玻璃桥是世界上最长的玻璃桥。与天门山的玻璃桥(插在半山腰)不同,张家界大峡谷玻璃桥悬在山谷之上。站在桥上,可以一览整个大峡谷的壮丽全景,仿佛漂浮在空中。
可惜我们去的时候雾很大,没能拍到一张能展现整座吊桥长度的照片。
尽管如此,我们还是享受了沿着峡谷山谷悠闲漫步3公里的旅程,并乘坐圣泉湖游船到达出口。水库里鸭子嬉戏,白鹭飞翔。风景如画,宁静祥和。
我们只花了大约半天时间就游览完了这个景点。回程可以乘坐同一辆巴士前往黄龙洞(票价8元)。但我们决定不去黄龙洞了。
