Activities for today: Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park
At 9:00 a.m., our guide will meet you at your hotel in downtown Zhangjiajie (Yongding district). Then, we'll drive to the Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park for a full-day tour. Around 4:00 p.m., we'll head back to your hotel.
**Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park**
Characterized by its huge limestone mountain tablelands, sheer cliffs, and jagged peaks clothed in verdant foliage, Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park, commonly known as Tianmen Mountain, offers a striking contrast to the freestanding obelisks of Zhangjiajie. As the highest peak in the city, Tianmen Mountain is regarded as the 'soul' of the scenic area. It is renowned for its "five wonders": the Tianmen Mountain Cableway, Avenue to the Sky, Tianmen Cave, Glass Walkway, and Mountain Plateau Virgin Forest.
**Tianmen Mountain Cableway**
Boasting the longest cableway in the world, the Tianmen Mountain Cableway features spans of up to 500 meters. In some sections, the road rises steeply at a 70-degree angle, crashing straight into the clouds, offering an unforgettable experience.
**Avenue to the Sky**
Descending from the mountain by bus, you'll encounter the "Avenue to the Sky" (Tongtian Avenue), a breathtaking road that winds up Tianmen Mountain with 99 sharp turns. The name is no exaggeration – this is one of the most impressive mountain roads in the world. The serpentine road stretches for about 11 kilometers, rapidly ascending from 200 meters to 1300 meters in elevation. This popular attraction is considered by some as the main draw of the park.
**Tianmen Cave**
Known as the "Gate to Heaven," Tianmen Cave is the world's highest natural cave of its kind. Formed by soil erosion, it is said that a large chunk of the mountain fell off in the year 263, creating a massive cavity (131.5 meters high, 57 meters wide, and 60 meters long). The cloud-capped "Heaven's Gate" is an impressive sight, giving the feeling that you are passing through the gates to heaven itself.
**Glass Walkway**
The Glass Sky Walk is the highest section of the "Coiling Dragon Cliff" walkway. At 60 meters long and 1.6 meters wide, it wraps around the sheer cliff face of Tianmen Mountain. For those fearless souls immune to the terror of a vertical drop, it offers a perfect photo opportunity.
**Tianmen Mountain Temple**
Built during the Tang Dynasty, Tianmen Mountain Temple served as the center of Buddhism in western Hunan. The modern temple is a reconstruction of the original, covering an area of over 10,000 square meters. Nestled in a mountain hollow, the temple offers a broad overview of the surrounding landscape. When viewed from the southeast, the nearby hills appear diminutive in comparison, giving the temple the appearance of a lordly figure – a son of the sky. This temple is one of the major pilgrimage sites in Hunan Province.
**Ghost Plank Road**
Famous for hugging the cliff line of the Ghost Cave, the Ghost Plank Road is a thrilling pathway that measures 1,600 meters in length with an average elevation of 1400 meters. Starting from Yihong Pass and ending at the small Tianmen Gate, this path is unique as it is neither on the top nor the side of the cliff but suspended in the middle of a bottomless abyss, providing an exhilarating and surprising experience for adventurous tourists.
