The scenic area is primarily divided into a canyon tour area, an aerial bus tour area, a cable car, and a glass bridge sightseeing area. The canyon tour area is limited to a 3.6-kilometer one-way walk and lacks numerous waterfall features. The aerial bus experience is average, while the glass bridge experience is quite good, offering aerial views of the Nizhu River Grand Canyon and Beipanjiang River Gorge. Other attractions include via ferrata and bungee jumping. Overall, the scenery is pleasant, but the scenic area's service facilities are incomplete, with unclear entrance signs and directional signs. Many areas are still under construction, impacting the overall experience. Tickets are a bit pricey.
You can experience a walk from the canyon to the summit. While the walk from the ticket office to the summit can be a bit long, there are many beautiful photo spots, including a small waterfall, which is perfect for taking photos. Several areas within the canyon are not included in the ticket price (make sure to check carefully). After reaching the bottom of the canyon, if you've purchased the glass walkway package, you can take the 248-meter high-speed elevator (though it's not ideal for taking photos). After that, take the cable car to the summit, where you can experience the glass walkway. Of course, if you want to stand on the Buddha's hand for a photo, you'll need to go to the parking lot above. The photo cost 10 yuan (the Buddha's hand isn't included in your ticket). Wear shoe covers while walking on the glass walkway to avoid falls. You'll then walk a short distance, cross the Rainbow Bridge, and finally visit the 520 Sky City Observation Deck (another version of the glass walkway, but worth checking out if you want to see the canyon from the summit). Afterward, take the bus back to the starting point for 7 yuan. Tourists who want to experience different attractions can pay attention to which attractions they bought tickets for when they bought tickets, so as not to miss out on tickets for the attractions they want to visit.
