Stand on a span of glass and feel the canyon breathe beneath you: wind pinches the valley, pines lean like old sailors and the plateau drops away into layered sandstone pillars. The Glass Bridge threads two cliffs in Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon, offering a vertiginous panorama; later, a boat slips across Baofeng Lake, where green water reflects vertical karst and forested slopes.
