Fog lifts off the river as the coach slips out of Shenzhen and the city’s hum thins into the steady rhythm of highway and pines. By mid-morning the road drops into a cleft of granite and the Gulong Gorge’s glass bridge hovers above a ribbon of water — a narrow, vertigo-testing walkway that dares you to look down.
