About
Quick facts: Suspended 1,200 meters above sea level, this glass walkway stretches 1.6 kilometers along a mountain ridge with a transparent floor revealing the forest canopy below. Clear days reward visitors with sweeping views of the Central Mountain Range and the winding Wushe River valley.
Highlights: Unlike typical cliffside walks, the floor panels are frosted glass that diffuses light and reduces glare, giving the sensation of walking on mist rather than empty air. On cloudy days, clouds roll directly underfoot through the walkway's steel grating sections, making you feel like you're floating above the landscape.
Insider tips
- Wear grippy shoes as the glass panels can get slippery from morning dew and condensation.
- Visit just after a rain shower for the most dramatic cloud formations drifting beneath the walkway.
- Bring a light jacket even in summer; temperatures at this elevation are 6-8°C cooler than in the lowlands.
- Skip midday visits between 11 AM and 2 PM when tour buses arrive and the glass reflects harsh sunlight.
