Where nature meets history, plus Canyon Glass Bridge.

A good trip for nature lovers, especially for the younger generations who will enjoy the prehistoric noisy creatures . A good workout on the numerous steps up and down. Overall a great day out for singles or entire families.

Lot of fun and excellent lunch

We had an amazing day. The park is huge and requires a lot of walking so sneakers are a must. WIth the help of our guide we managed to follow the path uphill and got the time to take amazing pictures. When coming down the waterfall we were given the choice of either walking or driving a mini-car downhill. Of course we picked the latter and had so much fun. The trip ends with lunch at a local restaurant. Lunch was plentiful and full of choices but the roasted chicken was the best. Perhaps the best I ever had.

Overall well experience

The views were amazing and the guide spoke really good English. That being said, the tour was short since we had to walk fast and the activities were all extra which is not mentioned. Also, the guide was really nice but not really a guide explaining about the place.

Operator response

Thanks for your review. The tour guide is our professional guide, and we will suggest him to explain more. About the optional activities like paraglider, cliff swing etc. in the Gulong Canyon, travelers can choose do it or not. We will let the guide talk more with the travelers and adjust pace to suite different group.

Disappointed Experience

Beautiful Gorge with exciting walks on the glass bridges. Tour guide was friendly and shared information about the gorge and a bit sbout Guangzhou. The reason I gave this rating was because we were picked up in a small car, very cramped with limted leg space, we couldn't stretch our legs, have to endure the 2 over hours to and fro from the destination. Were very stuffy and humid in the car too, air con were very weak. We are very disappointed and didn't enjoy the car ride and journey at all. Not worth what we paid for.

Operator response

Really sorry to hear you got bad experience for the vehicle. We will try to arrange a bigger car and ask the driver to adjust the temperature in the future. Gladly you liked this gorge.
