GUANGZHOU-ZHANGJIAJIE TRIP 2017 # 1 PART 2

27/8/2017
WULINGYUAN SCENIC AREA

Hallelujah! 
After checking in the hotel, we were quickly ushered for a late lunch at the hotel premises before we were divided into 2 groups.  There are 2 optional tours in the afternoon.....with one group were going to back to the new glass bridge walk while our group went  to the Yuanjiajie National Park..

Truly amazing!



The tallest outdoor elevator in the world.... Bailong Elevator (Hundred Dragons Elevator) clinging by the side of the massive mountain re-opened in 2003 after it was shut down temporarily in 2002 due to safety reasons. The 3 glass elevators took 2 minutes to reach up to 1,070 feet above the scenic mountain area.  











The Avatar  Hallelujah Mountain..... 


a double dragon water spring.... 


the long and winding climb....

our happy guide...


walking on this bridge will bring you good health and longevity. 

The bridge under Heaven.
The sky bridge stretches across two mountains which spans over 25 meters with a vertical height of 357 meters, being a natural stone bridge with the maximum vertical heights in the world. In fact, the two mountains linked by the bridge were originally one mountain. The marvelous bridge was carved by the force of mighty wind and water.

The Fascinate Platform... stunning view of the the mountains...

We have to this see-thru steel bridge..

The Golden Whip Brook....

You can do yoga anywhere, anytime...in the middle of crossing the stream..












by the time we walked back to the main entrance the sun has set and this is another facet of the mesmerizing Hallelujah mountains.
