You step out of the van into a canyon that keeps moving—rock pillars rising like slow-motion breakers, forested slopes breathing mist. The Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge stretches ahead: roughly 430 meters of engineered transparency suspended about 300 meters above the canyon floor, daring you to look down.
