1. Hello,
   I am interested in visiting this bridge: http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/201712/22/WS5a3c419fa31008cf16da2bd1.html
   How do I get there by public transport from Beijing?
   Thanks in advance.

2. Dear BuMoRi,

   Happy New Year!

   Basically you first take the high speed train from Beijing South Railway Station to the city of Shijiazhuang （石家庄）. After reaching Shijiazhuang, you take a local taxi to Shijiazhuang North Bus Station ( 客运北站) where you take the special the glass-bridge oriented bus from the north bus station to the longest glass bridge.

   The longest the bridge is located about 70 km to the northeast of Shijiahzuang City.

   Have a fun!

9. Hi what is the ticket price for Hebei Hongyagu glass bridge.

10. Dear Sahul Kumar，

    I’ve just checked online and the entrance fee is 300 yuan. The entrance covers the admission to Hongyagu Scenic Area.

11. Hey guys, just wanna give a little more detailed update from today. The update helped us a lot but once we were a little lost with the bus we had to take:

    1. until taking the bus 852 was everything fine but afterwards taking the bus 25 is easier than written. The bus leaves on the same side where u leave the bus 852. the bus 25 takes keeps going the same direction where u came from with bus 852. no need to cross the street (or u will take the wrong direction).

    2. on the bus 25 u shouldn’t worry not to find the drop off 25. the bus takes a while to go there but at the end u will see when u have to get off. In the Biss I won’t be able to read normal letters. But where Chinese people have to pass there bus ticket, u will find out on which station u are so u can follow the stops by reading The chinese letters comparing them with the list in the bus! U can pay the bus and it costs 5 yuan each person. U just have to drop the money into the box next the bus driver.

    3. the entrance costs 78 yuan. Smoking is forbidden and they take ur lighter. Hide it before u go there 🙂 or u won’t have it anymore.
    To take the cable lift it costs 100 yuan – always! For each way
    To go up there is not thaaat hard incl. the cablelift. My mom (65 years) made it.
    Each the entrance, the cable lift and the platform u have to pay at different cashiers.
    The entrance to the platform costs 20 yuan.

    4. on the way back i was kinda nervous cause we didnt know exactly where we have to go.
    Just take The same 25 bus where u got off. To get off the bus u just have to pay attention when u are back in the city. U will see that and it’s the point where almost everybody leaves the bus. But u will recognize also where u have to get off when u see the „Chinese lanterns“ on the street light. We got off at stations no 7 and this is exactly where the bus hub is to take the bus no 852. the bus leaves again from the street where u first left this bus. It will make a uturn to go back. If u miss to get off at stop 7 from bus 25 u shouldnt worry. Just take the next, or the next after. The bus stops really often on that big street. But than of course u have to stay on that street to take the bus 852.

    It was nice to have been there. Our reception in Beijing didn’t recommend me that place cause it would be too far from Beijing 😋

26. Dear Ernst,

    Going to the Glass Sightseeing Platform could be very time-consuming! It takes several hours for a round-trip bus ride.

    To get to the Shilinxia Scenic Area，you may take the public bus 852 ( Bus fare 16 yuan）） from Dongzhimen Transportation Hub for Pinggu District.

    Arriving at Pinggu District Bus Terminal, then you change for the local bus No.25 ( Bus Fare 5 yuan ) for the Pinggu Stone Forest Gorge or Valley. Bus 25 is quite frequent. Total journey is around 2-2.5hr from Dongzhimen Transport hub.

    The bus 25 keeps going the same direction where you come from with bus 852. On the bus 25 you shouldn’t worry not to find the drop off 25. The bus takes a while to go there but at the end you will see when you have to get off. You can pay the bus and it costs 5 yuan each person. You just have to drop the money into the box next the bus driver.

    Entry Fees
    Entrance Fee for Shilinxia Scenic Area : 78 RMB
    Entry fee for the glass sightseeing platform inside Shilinxia Scenic Area : 40 RMB
    Cable Car (one way): 50 RMB (Weekday); 100 RMB ( Weekend or Public Holiday )
    Opening hours: 8:30 – 17:30 (closed in winter season)

    Have a nice time in Beijing!
