Zhangjiajie is the name of both a city and a scenic area. Zhangjiajie was established as a city for tourism, and the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park within its borders boasts stunning scenery that has earned it a great reputation in China and even the world. Tianmen Mountain in Zhangjiajie Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park is known as the "Number One Divine Mountain in Western Hunan". Have you been there?

Tianmen Mountain, formerly known as Yunmeng Mountain, is a solitary mountain in the shape of a platform surrounded by cliffs. During the Three Kingdoms period, King Sun Xiu of Wu gave it the name "Tianmen Mountain", which was once the earliest famous mountain recorded in history. Tianmen Mountain is named after the natural wonder of Tianmen Cave. Tianmen Cave runs through the north and south, with a height of 137 meters and a width of 57 meters. From a distance, it looks like a gateway to the sky, hence the name Tianmen Mountain. It is a sacred place for local people to pray and make wishes.

Tianmen Mountain is located 8 kilometers south of Zhangjiajie City. To reach Tianmen Mountain from Zhangjiajie City, you need to pass through Tongtian Avenue, which is the main passage connecting the city and Tianmen Mountain. The total length is more than 10 kilometers, and the altitude rises from 200 meters to over a thousand meters. There are a total of 99 bends, which are very steep and can be called the world's first highway wonder.

The construction of Tongtian Avenue began in 1998 and was opened to traffic in May 2005. The cliffs on both sides of the avenue stretch for thousands of meters, winding and meandering through the mountains and cliffs. The entire project is full of difficulties and is a great engineering miracle. The infinite power of the Chinese people is once again reflected here. Of course, in addition to highways, there is also a cableway directly to Tianmen Mountain.

The Tianmen Mountain Cableway is 7455 meters long, running from Zhangjiajie city to the top of Tianmen Mountain, which is the longest in the world. Taking the cableway to Tianmen Mountain to enjoy the scenery is a kind of enjoyment, giving people a heart wrenching and imposing feeling, so sometimes spending money is worth it. If possible, it is recommended to take the cableway to Tianmen Mountain for safety, comfort, and enjoyment.

The Tianmen Cave on Tianmen Mountain is a masterpiece of nature, full of mystery and infinite imagination. There is still no convincing explanation for how it was formed. In December 1999, the world's aerobatic master flew his plane through Tianmen Cave, shocking the world. In March 2006, the Russian aerobatic team piloted the Su-27 and Su-30 to perform on Tianmen Mountain, creating a stunning legend.

Tianmen Mountain itself is a legend, and the Tianmen Mountain Temple at the top of the mountain has been thriving since its construction in the Tang Dynasty, making Tianmen Mountain the "number one sacred mountain in western Hunan". Tianmen Mountain has become the new ace of Zhangjiajie and Hunan tourism, and has been selected as one of the "50 Most Valuable Places for Foreigners to Visit in China". This mysterious place is worth experiencing.
