Transfer via: flight - your arrangement
Activities for today: Tianmen Mountain, airport transfer
After your hotel breakfast, embark on a remarkable journey to Tianmen Mountain, another awe-inspiring national forest park in Zhangjiajie.
Begin by transferring to the Tianmen Mountain Cable Car, which will transport you from Zhangjiajie downtown to the peak of Tianmen Mountain, standing over 1,400 meters above sea level. Experience the approximately 7,455-meter-long cableway, currently the longest in the world, and marvel at the breathtaking views along the Avenue toward Heaven through the glass. Continue your adventure by taking the Forest Sightseeing Cable Car to visit Tianmen Temple, dating back to the Tang Dynasty, located on the mountain peak. This temple is one of the world's five Buddhist temples that house Buddha body relics. Explore the temple complex and admire the Qing Dynasty-style Buddhist architecture set amidst lush surrounding forests.
Prepare for two thrilling cliff walks around the mountain. The first is the 60-meter-long and 1.6-meter-wide Glass Skywalk, made of transparent glass and perched 1,430 meters above the valley below, offering a sensation of walking in the air on clear days and a mystical experience in misty weather. The second walk is along the 1,600-meter-long Ghost-Valley Plank Road, hanging precariously on the cliff edge. Embrace the adrenaline rush and give it a try!
Descend from the peak using the escalator to reach Tianmen Cave, a colossal opening in the mountain formed by natural processes, towering 131.5 meters high, 57 meters wide, and 60 meters deep—a true marvel of the world. Descend further by walking down the incredibly steep 999 steps, with gradients reaching up to 45°, the primary route to Tianmen Cave for numerous worshippers. Conclude your Tianmen Mountain exploration by walking a short distance to board a cable car for the descent.
Following your scenic and adventurous visit to Tianmen Mountain, you will be transported to Zhangjiajie Hehua International Airport (or Zhangjiajie West Train Station, or Zhangjiajie Train Station).
