Overview

Escape Beijing’s hustle for a day of thrills at Shilinxia — home to the world’s largest UFO-shaped glass cantilever platform! This gravity-defying structure juts 32.8m over a 400m-deep gorge; step onto its transparent aerospace-grade glass, and you’ll “walk on air” with 360° panoramic views of jagged peaks and valleys below — an adrenaline rush you won’t find anywhere else. Wander the 6km valley of surreal rock formations afterward, breathing in fresh mountain air far from the city buzz.
We offer two separate packages for your choice:
Ticket & Driver Only Package: Includes private round-trip car transfer, full attraction entrance tickets (access to the UFO glass platform) and round-trip cable car fees.
Full Guided All-Inclusive Package: Comes with everything in the above package, plus a professional English-speaking tour guide and genuine local lunch, with zero hidden fees for a completely worry-free mountain trip.

What to expect

  1. Beijing
    Pass by
    Your private English-speaking guide and driver will pick you up directly from your downtown Beijing hotel, kicking off a memorable day trip to Shilinxia Scenic Area. The journey takes approximately 1.5-2 hours, during which you can freely chat with your guide about Beijing’s attractions, travel tips, or customize other itinerary ideas — they’re here to share insider insights.
    Upon arrival, start your adventure with a scenic cable car ride up the mountain, soaring over lush valleys and jagged rock formations. Step off the cable car and embark on a gentle 30-minute hike through a forested path, breathing in fresh mountain air (the area boasts over 95% vegetation coverage) as you approach the highlight of the trip: the world-famous UFO glass platform.
  2. Shilingxia Scenic Area
    4h · Admission ticket included
    Now it’s time to challenge yourself! Slip on the provided shoe covers and step onto this gravity-defying structure — a futuristic UFO-shaped cantilever extending 32.8 meters over a 400-meter-deep canyon. Its transparent aerospace-grade glass lets you “walk on air,” with unobstructed views of the gorge below and 360° panoramic vistas of rolling peaks. Feel your adrenaline surge as you stand suspended mid-air, surrounded by nature’s grandeur — it’s a heart-pounding, bucket-list-worthy experience you won’t forget.
    After soaking in the thrills and snapping photos, retrace your steps via the same path and cable car. Refuel with an authentic local lunch at a nearby farmhouse.

    Once refreshed, your driver will take you back to your Beijing hotel, wrapping up a perfect day of adventure and relaxation.
