Shilinxia Glass Viewing Platform 360 Degree Gorge Views
Surrounded by mountains, this glass behemoth looks like a giant UFO touched down in Shilinxia Scenic Area and decided to stay perched on the highest cliff of the Shilin Gorge. This viewing platform measures 246 feet high and 197 feet wide. Made of glass panels and titanium alloys, it ensures amazing (or perhaps terrifying) 360 degree views..
Visitors can hike (about one and a half hours) or take a cable car to the top..
Getting There: From Dongzhimen Transportation Hub, take bus 852 to Pinggu district. From there, grab bus 25 to the Pinggu Stone Forest Gorge or Valley, about two and a half hours travel time..
Travel Tip: Go when pollution levels are low for better views..
