Suspended at an altitude of 2,200 meters, the Sapa Glass Bridge (Rong May or “Dragon in the Clouds”) is the highest of its kind in Southeast Asia. Perched at the summit of the legendary O Quy Ho Pass, it offers our Indian guests a dramatic “walk on air” experience that rivals the peaks of the Himalayas, combined with 2026-standard luxury and safety. At Vietnamstory, we recommend this as the ultimate thrill for families, couples, and photography enthusiasts seeking the “Mist and Mountain” magic of Northern Vietnam.
Location and travel logistics of Rong May Glass Bridge
The journey to the glass bridge is an adventure in itself, taking you along one of the most scenic and famous mountain roads in all of Vietnam. Here is what you need to know to get there.
The bridge is located right on the Tram Ton Pass, also known as Heaven’s Gate. While it is often called the “Sapa Glass Bridge,” it is important to know that it actually sits right on the border of the Lao Cai and Lai Chau provinces.
It is located approximately 16-18km from the Sapa town center, a beautiful and scenic journey that takes about 30-45 minutes by car via the main National Highway 4D.
How to reach this incredible spot:
- Private Car/Taxi (Recommended option): This is the most comfortable, safe, and convenient option. A round trip will cost approximately 400,000–600,000 VND. The best part is that your driver will wait for you while you explore, giving you complete flexibility.
- Motorbike: For experienced and confident riders, this is a stunningly scenic drive along one of the “Four Great Passes” of Vietnam. However, the road is winding and can be foggy, so Vietnamstory.in only recommends this for those with a lot of riding experience.
- Perfect tour integration: A visit to the glass bridge is very easily and perfectly paired with a stop at the beautiful Silver Waterfall and the romantic Love Waterfall, as they are all located on the very same scenic mountain route from Sapa.

The “Wow” factor: Why this experience is absolutely worth it?
This is more than just a bridge, it is a full-fledged adventure complex that offers some of the most spectacular views in all of Asia. From a thrilling skywalk to a magical “cloud hunt,” here is what makes this a must-visit.
The vertigo-inducing skywalk
The glass bridge itself extends a full 60 meters out from the cliff face. You will be walking on three layers of incredibly strong, 7cm-thick tempered glass, giving you a heart-pounding and completely clear view of the abyss below. From the bridge, you get a stunning, 360-degree panoramic view of the majestic Hoang Lien Son mountain range and the winding, “snake-like” road of the O Quy Ho Pass thousands of feet beneath you.
The magical “cloud hunting” season
From October to December, the weather conditions are perfect for “cloud hunting.” During this time, the bridge often sits high above a thick, white carpet of clouds that fills the valley below. Walking across the bridge during this time feels like you are literally taking a skywalk in heaven. It is the perfect opportunity to capture those magical “floating in heaven” photos that have become so popular for 2026 travelers.
The upgraded adventure complex
Beyond the famous walk, the site has now evolved into a full adrenaline park for thrill-seekers.
- The Cloud Bridge: For those who want a more “organic” and swaying thrill, you can walk across a 200-meter-long suspension bridge.
- Zipline and rope cycling: You can glide over the lush forest canopy at an altitude of 2,000 meters.
- Bungee jump and the infinity swing: For the ultimate “Sapa Flex,” you can experience a heart-pounding bungee jump or swing out over the abyss.
Your safety first: The engineering and safety standards
Your safety is the number one priority at this modern complex. The bridge is a marvel of engineering, built to the highest international standards. Here is what you need to know about the safety protocols.
The bridge was built to be able to support up to 3,000 people at the same time. However, to ensure your comfort and safety, the new 2026 regulations will only limit the entry to 500 guests at any one time. The bridge is made from international-standard tempered glass that has a special anti-slip coating. To prevent any scratches on the glass and to ensure you do not slip, you will be provided with special, non-slip shoe covers that you must wear while on the bridge.
This experience is not recommended for those with a severe fear of heights (acrophobia) or for those with serious heart conditions.
