Tianmen interrupted the opening of the Chu River, and the blue water flowed eastward and returned here. The green mountains on both sides of the Taiwan Strait face each other, and a solitary sail sails towards the edge of the sun---- Li Bai's "Looking at Tianmen Mountain" from the Tang Dynasty

This is Wangtianmen Mountain from the poet Li Bai. In addition to the well-known Wulingyuan National Scenic Spot, Zhangjiajie also has a magical mountain - Tianmen Mountain, which stands between heaven and earth.

Tianmen Mountain has many legends, and these legends have been continuously renewed since their inception - the Russian Air Force's aerobatic performance once drove a heavy fighter jet through Tianmen Cave here, creating a stunning legend; The world's top wingsuit pilot once crossed the Tianmen Cave wearing wingsuits, creating a record for human extreme flight; French roller skating masters once took no other protective measures here, only wearing their own specially designed roller skating suits, and challenged their limits by sliding down from Tianmen Cave... Perhaps the warriors fell in love with this land, and Tianmen Mountain has been challenged by humans since its development until now.

Not only that, the development of Tianmen Mountain has also "artificially" created many world firsts, continuing to compose the legendary gate. Here is the world's longest mountain escalator, the world's longest high-altitude cable car, the longest cable car in Asia, and the world's most peculiar Tongtian Avenue, known as the world's first highway wonder... But how to visit Tianmen Mountain? Below is a brief introduction to Tianmen Mountain's sightseeing strategy. There are two routes to climb up Tianmen Mountain

A-line tour route: Cableway up the mountain - Peak tour - Take the mountain escalator down to Tianmen Cave - Take the scenic area tour bus down the mountain to Shanmen - Transfer to a free shuttle bus to the cableway station.

B-line tour route: Take the free shuttle bus from the B-line shuttle bus station at the cableway station to Shanmen - take the scenic area tour bus to Tianmen Cave - take the mountain escalator to the top of the mountain - tour the top of the mountain - take the cableway down the mountain to the next station.

Taking the cableway up the mountain is really great for some friends who don't like climbing. The entire journey is 7.7 kilometers, with a height difference of 1279 meters, like a rainbow crossing the "sky on earth". Along the way, not only can you overlook the city and the scenery of rural hills and Luan, but also the pastoral lakes in the mountains. Finally, I saw Tianmen Mountain amidst the clouds and mist.

After reaching the top of the mountain, you can directly take the elevator to Yunmeng Xianding and overlook the magnificent scenery of Tianmen Mountain. The Tieshan suspended glass corridor on the western route is located 500 meters from the starting position of the Tianmen Mountain Ghost Valley boardwalk. This is a fork in the road, with the highest point reaching 1430 meters above sea level. For those who like exciting points, they can choose to walk this way, otherwise they can detour around the nearby stone path.

Walking on the boardwalk amidst the mist and clouds, as if soaring through the clouds. So I couldn't help but imagine if on a clear day, the blue sky was reflected on this glass during the day, with towering mountains below. People would see the heavenly realm between this day and the earth at a glance, and the thought of worrying about stepping on cliffs and hell would make their hearts race.

After passing through the glass walkway, continue to walk along the Ghost Valley plank road. The starting point is Yihong Pass, and the endpoint is Xiaotianmen. Encountering Qiu'er Cave on the road, it is said that seeking children here is particularly effective.

After a brief rest, as we embarked on the eastern route, the first thing we saw was the Love of Wood and Stone, an ancient tree growing on a rock, which was quite strange. Then go along the east line plank road to the air corridor via the east line glass walkway, as well as the sling Shenyu, overlooking the Tianmen from the south and north, flying clouds return to the Tianmen to open.

Returning from the aerial corridor, the original route leads to Tianmen Mountain, another world's tallest and longest mountain escalator, running through a mountain tunnel throughout the entire journey.

The first section of the escalator reaches the bottom of Tianmen Mountain Cave, where you can vertically appreciate this huge legendary mountain gate that is said to have appeared overnight. Walk a short distance along the boardwalk to reach the ladder. This scenery is also very beautiful and colorful. You can choose to take the 999 escalator down the mountain here, or take the second escalator directly to the Bus Plaza. Imagine if it were a bus up the mountain, it wouldn't take 999 steps to reach this fairy gate land that leads to a paradise.

After descending the ladder, I took a bus and raced along the Tongtian Avenue. The winding mountain road has a total of 99 turns, with 180 degree sharp turns alternating between each other, like a jade belt surrounding, tightly connected, and layered. It is known as the "wonder of the world's first highway".

Sitting on the bus, enjoying the wonders of the road, and then reaching the bottom of the mountain, the journey comes to an end.
