Tianmen Mountain is a popular scenic spot in Zhangjiajie. It is named after the world's highest mountain crossing karst cave - "Tianmen Cave". There are online celebrity photo and card taking places - glass walkway, Ghost Valley Plank Path, etc., especially the cloud sea landscape here, which is often hot searched, is known as "the most beautiful sky garden in the world" and "Heaven Paradise", and is one of the must visit scenic spots in Zhangjiajie.

Tianmen Mountain itinerary time budget:

At least 4 hours of urgent time (excluding mountain climbing time);

Please help yourself if you have enough time (it's better to go up the mountain from 9:00 to 10:00 in the morning, bring some dry food, and go down the mountain at 2:00 or 3:00 in the afternoon. You can go down the mountain to eat or go to Wulingyuan National Scenic Spot early)

How to visit Tianmen Mountain in chronological order

Firstly, purchase tickets. The ticket window is divided into group and individual customers. Generally, the individual customer window is used, while the group window is reserved for tour guides of travel agencies. Observant friends have found that Tianmen Mountain tickets can be purchased on many travel apps.

It is inevitable to remind everyone that the online ticket prices and windows of Tianmen Mountain are the same. Buying online is not much cheaper, but buying through travel agencies with channel resources will be cheaper.

Tianmen Mountain Ticket Types:

Line A: On the Tianmen Mountain Cableway, under the Tianmen Cave Express Cableway

Line B: On the Tianmendong Express Cableway, under the Tianmenshan Cableway

Line C: Tianmendong Express Cableway up and down

Line I: On the Tianmen Mountain Cableway, under the Environmental Protection Vehicle

I2 line: On the eco-friendly vehicle, under the Tianmen Mountain cableway. "Note: The latest up mountain route is above

I recommend tickets for the I or I2 routes. Since you have come to Zhangjiajie, no matter how scared you are, you must take the world's longest cableway and the thrilling Tianmen 99 Road Bay

Taking ticket I as an example, during the peak season (April, May, and early November each year) or weekends, there may be more tourists and they need to queue for a certain amount of time to check in. Before entering the cableway company, staff will ask you to show your ticket, which is not considered as ticket checking (but must be shown). Only after passing through the gate can it be considered as truly checking the ticket.

Cable Car

The cable car is fully occupied with 8 people, and as long as it starts running, it will not stop due to too few people. The cable car runs for about half an hour.

After passing the transfer station (don't be so funny as to get off at the transfer station), it is the most thrilling, exciting, and scenic section, with a panoramic view of the Panshan Highway and Tianmen Cave. After reaching a low point, it continues to rise.

Those who are not afraid can try taking a few shots, while those who are afraid can hold onto the person next to them tightly

There will be staff watching you at the finish line to ensure your safety when getting off the bus

To reach the mountaintop, there are three routes to choose from:

West line: cableway up station - Lingxiao Terrace - west line glass walkway - Ghost Valley plank road - suspension bridge - Ghost Valley Cave - Qiuhe Cave - Cherry Bay - Tianmen Mountain Temple - take the "cable car" - Yunmeng Xianding

East line: cableway up station - Gongtong Garden - Bonsai Stone Area - Tianmen Tiaoshui - looking down from the north - Yuhu Peak - east line glass walkway - looking down from the south at Tianmen Cave - east line plank road - love of wood and stone - Cherry Bay - Tianmen Mountain Temple - taking the "cable car" - Yunmeng Xianding

Middle Line: Cableway Station - Yunmeng Xianding (with a straight tunnel) - Peak Cableway - Cherry Bay - Tianmen Mountain Temple - (West or East Line) Return to Cableway Station or Escalator Exit

You can see different scenery along any line, but the types of scenery are roughly the same. Don't worry if there is no glass walkway on the eastern route. The plank road on the cliff can be seen everywhere!

Firstly, let's talk about an interesting place on the western front - the Wishing Forest. There are many red cloth ribbons hanging here, with full blessings written on them, dyeing the entire forest red. Believe that friends who have made wishes here have already 'fulfilled your wishes';

There are two places on the western route that are more suitable for taking photos: a small glass observation deck overlooking the sky near the natural barrier; You can see the entrance of the glass walkway from the corner of the glass walkway. The sky on the right looks very artistic. It would be great if it was matched with the sea of clouds!

Then let's roast about the less ornamental place on the east line: the Davidia involucrata Garden that comes into view through the time-space tunnel can be seen carefully if it is in the flowering season. Most of the time, it is a bright place, with only Davidia involucrata as its companion. (By the way, Gongtong is a plant from the same era as dinosaurs, and its blooming flowers resemble pigeons, hence it is called "pigeon flower")

Of course, a new trail has been opened this year near the escalator entrance on the eastern route, which is a more suitable place for taking photos and enjoying the scenery, with mountain peaks as a backdrop.

Tianmen Mountain Top Cable Car

The small cable car at the top of the mountain is for 2 people and is the only way to connect Tianmen Mountain Temple and Yunmeng Xianding in the air. Since you have come to Tianmen Mountain, this is a must experience. The flower sea in spring, the snow waterfall in winter... can all be perfectly confirmed here. By the way, this requires an additional fee of 25 yuan per person.

Glass walkway

Whether it is the glass walkway of the east line or the west line, any place is worth experiencing. Consider it as a 'preview lesson' for the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Glass Bridge. At the beginning, those who are afraid can hold onto the wall and slowly let go to the middle, but you can rest assured that this strength of glass is not inferior to cement prefabricated panels and the like. Glass walkway is free, but you need to charge 5 yuan for shoe covers.

Cloud Dream Immortal Summit

Yunmeng Xianding is the highest altitude place on Tianmen Mountain, at 1518 meters. Except for rainy and foggy weather, this has always been the best viewing spot. At the foot of Tianmen Mountain, Zhangjiajie city area, nearby Qixing Mountain, and Tianmen Mountain Temple (which will also be included in the development scope of Tianmen Mountain in the future) are all within sight.

Tianmen Cave

Tianmen Mountain is named after Tianmen Cave, so when you come to Tianmen Mountain, you must visit Tianmen Cave. Scientists have not yet provided convincing scientific evidence for the formation of Tianmen Cave. Under Tianmen Cave is a 999 level ladder. Friends with good skills can take a walk and pay attention to safety.

skyline drive

The Panshan Highway, which is known as the 99 bends, actually has 99 bends, and each bend has a sign. Everyone who has passed Tianmen Mountain will experience this, without further ado.
