How to Visit
1
Decide first whether you want to pay to go onto the bridge
The bridge sightseeing ticket is about CNY 100 for adults and usually includes the sightseeing elevator and bridge-deck visit. If you only want a full view of the bridge, use the outside viewpoints instead.
Tip:Going onto the bridge is about the canyon height and bridge structure; outside viewpoints are better for full-bridge photos.
2
Get ready at the visitor center before going up
There is no restroom on the bridge, and the wind can be strong, so use the restroom first and secure hats or small items that could be blown away.
Tip:The bridge visit is not very long, but the wind feels stronger at height, so keep your hands and pockets simple.
3
Combine the museum and bridge visit
If the Bridge Museum is open, see the bridge exhibits first, then take the elevator up. The bridge will make more sense after the museum.
Tip:If you only care about the high-altitude experience, spend more time on the bridge deck and extreme activities.
4
Treat extreme activities as separate choices
Bungee jumping, gliding, high-altitude swings, and glass-walk projects are not part of a normal sightseeing ticket, and each has its own price and operating condition.
Tip:In bad weather or strong wind, high-altitude activities may pause, so do not make them your only reason for the day.
Highlights
- The strongest impression comes from the 370-meter canyon height and the bridge-deck viewpoint.
- The sightseeing elevator takes visitors directly into the bridge sightseeing area.
- From the bridge, you can see the canyon, traffic flow, and bridge structure.
- The extreme activities suit travelers who specifically want a high-adrenaline experience.
- It is not far from Huangguoshu Scenic Area, so it fits well with nearby Huangguoshu stops.
Insider Tips
✦You can still photograph the whole bridge from outside viewpoints without going onto the bridge.
✦The bridge is windy, so hold hats, scarves, and light belongings securely.
✦If you are afraid of heights, start with outside viewpoints before buying high-altitude activities.
✦It is closer from Huangguoshu than from central Anshun, so place it with Huangguoshu-area sights if possible.
✦If you want to try bungee jumping or the swing, leave time for waiting, registration, and weather changes.
