What it is
The Three Natural Bridges (Tiansheng Sanqiao) at Wulong are giant natural karst stone bridges spanning a vast sinkhole, part of the Wulong Karst World Heritage area. The glass observation platform (玻璃眺台) is a large cantilevered glass deck built at an elevation of about 1,128 m, projecting around 280 m above the pit floor so visitors look straight down into the gorge. Designed by Tsinghua, it lets you view the bridges, sinkhole and valley below through the glass floor.
