- Glass bridge. The world's longest bridge is 488 meters in span and quite an impressive engineering marvel. It opened at the end of 2017 and overtook the 440 meter glass bridge at Zhangjiajie in Hunan, however the view is nowhere near as marvelous.
- Ice waterfalls. During winter, there is a small area of ice waterfalls. Although not as spectacular at the Longju Icefall near Baoding.
Do
