Maren Qifeng: 5D Glass Bridge and Avatar‑style Peaks
Maren Qifeng (马仁奇峰) is a unique mountain park officially called the "Southern Anhui Zhangjiajie". Just 4 hours from Shanghai, you will find fantastic granite peaks floating in the clouds and the most impressive 5D Glass Bridge "Flying Dragon" – 388 meters long at a height of 180 meters. The cracking glass effect under your feet guarantees a powerful adrenaline rush!
In addition to the bridge, there is a 200‑meter glass cliffside plank road, the ancient Maren Temple (built in the Tang dynasty), dense bamboo groves and picturesque waterfalls. For those who dare not walk on glass, there are ordinary trails. This is an ideal place for extreme sports lovers and incredible photos.
