NABSQNO 49R-445500-3246500. Xian Ren Qiao is a cave natural arch eroded through Devonian sandstone that has a very high quartz content. It located in the Wulingyuan Scenic and Historic Interest Area, about 25 kilometers north of the city of Zhangjiajie, in northern Hunan Province, China. The Wulingyuan area has been designated a natural world heritage site and has been developed for tourism. Xian Ren Qiao can be viewed from one of the many walking paths that lead to and through the spectacular scenery the area offers.
Xian Ren Qiao translates into English as both Fairy Bridge and Bridge of the Immortals. To avoid confusion with the Xian Ren Qiao in Guangxi Province (NABSQNO 48R-682110-2731570), we have chosen to refer to the arch documented on this page as Bridge of the Immortals, and to refer to the Xian Ren Qiao in Guangxi Province as Fairy Bridge.
Xian Ren Qiao (Bridge of the Immortals) has a span of about 25 meters and a height of about 100 meters. About a half kilometer away is one of the highest natural arches in the world, Tianxia Diyi Qiao (Bridge Across the Sky).
