The Yunlong Footbridge is a covered concrete arch tourist footbridge that was used as a one-lane roadway arch prior to 2012. A larger and higher concrete 2-lane arch was completed in 2008 to bypass the one-lane arch.
There is a series of cliffwalks and waterfalls below the Yunlong Footbridge that is part of the larger Enshi Grand Canyon Scenic area.
Enshi Grand Canyon has some of China's highest cliffwalks as well as many kilometers of trails that wind around spectacular Karst rock formations. A giant escalator on the north side of the park brings guests back down the mountain to a parking area where shuttle buses go back to the main parking area.
