Tiandi Footbridge is the fourth highest footbridge within the Shimenhe River Gorge after the Yunzhiduan Glass, Buyun and Motanyun Footbridges.
There are several high crossings that have been built in the Gaopingzhen region. The first was the Yesanhe arch bridge that opened in 1977 and became the first bridge in China to surpass 100 meters in height. That was followed in later years by the Yesanhe G50 Expressway Bridge, the Yesanhe Railway Bridge and the Yesanhe Pipeline Bridge as well as a local 2-lane arch bridge across the Shimen River sometime around 2015 followed by the Yunzhiduan Glass, Motanyun, Buyun and Tiandi footbridges.
At the end of the cliffwalk hike there is a glass elevator that takes tourists directly up to the local road.
