In mid-June 2022, while traveling to Hunan, I visited Tianmen Mountain Scenic Area. The photo was taken in Tianmen Mountain Scenic Area.

Tianmen Mountain Scenic Area is located 8 kilometers south of the Urban area of Zhangjiajie City. It is a national 5A-level tourist area and a mountainous natural scenic spot. The total area is 96 square kilometers, and the mountain top area reaches 2 square kilometers. The picture shows a guide map of Tianmen Mountain Scenic Area.

The main peak of Tianmen Mountain Scenic Area is 1,518.6 meters above sea level. It is the highest mountain in Zhangjiajie. It was called Songliang Mountain in ancient times, also known as Mengshan and Fanghu Mountain. It is known as the "No. 1 Holy Mountain in Xiangxi". The photo was taken in Tianmen Mountain Scenic Area.

Tianmenshan Cableway is Asia's longest alpine passenger cableway costing 260 million yuan, with a total length of 7455 meters. The entire cableway starts from the city garden in the center of Zhangjiajie City and goes straight to the original sky garden on the top of Tianmen Mountain. It is like a rainbow flying across the sky on earth, or like a giant dragon soaring into the clear clouds. It is majestic and spectacular against the mountain walls. The picture shows the Tianmen Mountain Tourist Service Center at the starting point of the central city garden in Zhangjiajie City.

The cableway passes through modern urban scenery, beautiful pastoral scenery and magnificent alpine scenery along the way, making it the world's first aerial mobile viewing corridor.

Tianmenshan Cableway (Hongsuo Longxiang) is the world's longest alpine passenger cableway. It has a total of 98 cableway and 57 cableway brackets (including 3 rescue brackets), all of which use original equipment imported from French POMA Company.

Below the cable car, you can also see the famous wonder of the world's number one highway-Tianmen Mountain Panshan Highway. The Panshan Highway has a total length of about 11 kilometers, and the altitude has increased sharply from 200 meters to 1300 meters. The cliffs on both sides of the road are thousands of high, and the empty valleys are deep. There are 99 turns in total. The 180-degree sharp turns disappear and become long in the other, like a jade belt surrounded by the bends. Connected, layer upon layer, is known as the Tongtian Avenue.

It has a total length of nearly 15 kilometers from the urban area to the top of Tianmen Mountain. It is one of the few alpine cableways in China with a height difference of more than 1,000 meters. Moreover, the local inclination is so large that it is rare in the world. The cableway is divided into three stations: upper, middle and lower.

Get out of the cableway and move forward, not far away is the wonderful scenery of seeking immortals on the western line.

The scenery of searching for immortals on the western line is full of thrills and excitement.

West Line Glass Plank Road Entrance

The western line glass plank road overhangs the top of the mountain and is 60 meters long. The highest point is 1430 meters above sea level and 1.6 meters wide. The entire line is made of transparent glass.

Looking at the glass plank road that makes one's legs go soft, the excitement and shock it brings is comparable to the world-famous "Sky Road" of the Grand Canyon Glass Corridor in the United States.

Guigu Plank Road is named because it hangs along the cliffs on the upper side of Guigu Cave. The plank road has a total length of 1600 meters and an average altitude of 1400 meters. The entire line stands between the cliffs of thousands of feet. Looking up and looking into the distance, the peaks are steep and steep. It is famous for its "shock, horror and danger". The plank road is suspended among the cliffs. It is sunny after rain and is easy to breathe. Wonders such as clouds of sea and cloud waterfalls often appear along the plank road. The clouds are steaming and the clouds are like a fairyland on earth.

After visiting the attractions on the western line, visit the Biye Yaotai on the eastern line.

Biye Yaotai Scenic Area is located in the east of the mountain top. It is characterized by natural scenery and has more than 20 scenic spots. It is the one with the most scenic spots among the four major scenic spots in Tianmen Mountain.

Tianmen Mountain Gongtong Garden maintains a complete primeval natural forest and is known as the "Plant Giant Panda". Its ancient trees are towering, intertwined with vines, and covered with moss. It looks like a natural bonsai from Tiancheng. It is also a natural primitive science park and is known as the world's most beautiful natural ecological "hanging garden" and celestial fairyland.

The terminal point of the cableway is Yunmeng Xianding, located at the highest peak of Tianmen, with an altitude of 1,518.6 meters. The highest geographical coordinates of Zhangjiajie are a natural observatory.

Yuhu Peak, located on the top of Tianmen Mountain, is one of the sixteen peaks of Tianmen Mountain. It is named because it looks like a jade pot for holding wine. Yuhu Peak is more than 1400 meters above sea level and is surrounded by no obstruction. Clouds and clouds are steaming all year round. Looking into the distance, it is an extreme enjoyment.

The world's first elevator installed in a mountain tunnel-Tianmen Mountain Crossing Elevator has been officially put into operation. The mountain-crossing elevator runs all the way in the mountain tunnel, from the bottom of Tianmen Cave to the top of the mountain. There are 12 sections in total. The total length of the escalator steps is 897 meters, the lifting height is 340 meters, and the total span is 692 meters. There are 16 30-meter ultra-high heavy-duty bus-type escalators and 3 20-meter high-height heavy-duty bus-type escalators have a one-way transportation capacity of 3600 people/hour. The picture shows the entrance of the elevator through Tianmen Mountain.

The Tianmen Mountain Crossing Elevator is the most difficult escalator project in the world with the highest technical requirements, the highest lifting height, the longest total length of steps, and the most creative escalator project. It can be called a miracle of elevator projects around the world and another feature of the scenic spot's characteristic transportation. miracle.

As a national forest park, Tianmen Peak has a complete virgin forest, and the core protected area of the virgin forest is in the Biye Yaotai Scenic Area. Here, strange rocks covered with moss can be seen everywhere, and rare tree species and precious medicinal materials are also found from time to time. The whole scenic area is like a large natural bonsai. Tourists can enjoy the fun of nature while walking on the winding road.

Tianmen Cave is the symbol and first highlight of Tianmen Mountain in Zhangjiajie. It is famous all over the world because of the performance of aircraft passing through Tianmen Cave. This cave is not artificially dug, but a pure natural karst cave through mountains, so it is definitely a spectacle. To get into the cave, you must pass the 999-step "climbing ladder". We went the opposite way and walked down 999 stone steps.

Tianmen Cave, located in the middle of Tianmen Mountain, is an underground cave on the edge of the platform. Due to the pressure of the syncline structure, the rock layers at the north and south ends collapse, exposing Tianmen. This is Tianmen Cave taken on the way down the 999 stone steps.

The builders of the mountain scenic area carry the door on their backs and transport supplies.

Tianmen Cave is also a spiritual place for making wishes and blessings.

Tianmen Gate is 131.5 meters high, 57 meters wide, and 60 meters deep. It is on the plain wall of Chihiro opposite the north and south. The weather changes countless times, like a mirror inlaid on the clear sky. White clouds and purple fog all year round, and it is dense and steaming. It is majestic and towering. It is a rare high-altitude natural mountain cave in the world. The picture shows Tianmen Cave and the waterfall below it.

Tianmen Mountain was known as Songliang Mountain in ancient times. In the sixth year of Wu Yong 'an of the Three Kingdoms (AD 263), the mountain suddenly opened its cliffs and was as clear as a gate, forming a rare wonder of the world-Tianmen Cave. Sun Xiu, the Emperor of Wu, thought this was an auspicious sign, so Yi Song Liangshan became Tianmen Mountain.

Tianmen Cave runs through the north and south, with an altitude of 1300 meters. The gate is 131.5 meters high, 57 meters wide and 60 meters deep. It is built up against the sky, like a gateway to the sky. "Sky Gate Spits Mist" and "Sky Gate Sunglow" are praised as rare and spectacular scenes in the world. In 1999, pilots from six countries, Russia, the United States, Hungary, Kazakhstan, the Czech Republic, and Lithuania set the Guinness World Record. The picture shows looking back at Tianmen Cave.

From Tianmen Cave, you can take the express cableway down to the mountains.

The Canyon Theater in Tianmen Mountain is the performance theater of "Tianmen Fox Fairy".

The famous scholar Huang Jinxiang once wrote a poem "Visiting Tianmen Mountain":"The cliffs are thousands of peaks, winding around the plank road and onto Yuntai. The sky is shrouded by fog, and the sky is clear and rainy, and the smoke in the cave cannot be dispelled. "This poem praising Zhangjiajie has been widely read today. The picture shows looking back at Tianmen Mountain.

There is a shuttle bus back to the Tianmen Mountain Cableway Station at the gate of Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park.

The shuttle bus drives along Tianmen Mountain Tongtian Avenue, which is dangerous and thrilling. It also winds through the natural dangers of mountain cliffs, making it "the world's number one highway wonder." Tongtian Avenue is one of the "Four Wonders" of Tianmen Mountain.

Back in the city, the first task is to do nucleic acid.
