Some notes
The glass balustrade is not glazed at all, but a metal railing, the railing wall is not too high, so you need to stay calm when at a “terrible” height, avoid moving too much near the balustrade area.
We recommend using the provided foot cover to avoid scratching the glass of the bridge.
If you feel nervous, ask the staff here to accompany you to avoid panic because the Rong May Glass bridge is exceptionally high, so it will not be possible to lose your temper during the tour.
They don’t recommend staying on the bridge too late because it will be tough to move in the da. Going from this tourist area to Sapa town will also be more difficult.
