One-Day Tour of Tianmen Mountain, Transfer in the Afternoon
Morning: Drive to the lower station of Tianmen Mountain Cableway and visit Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park. Tianmen Mountain has profound cultural heritage, is known as the "Soul of Wuling," and has the reputation of being the first sacred mountain in Xiangxi. It combines peaks, rocks, springs, streams, clouds, and forests, and integrates majesty, wonder, beauty, steepness, and tranquility. It is praised as an aerial primeval garden. We will take the Tianmen Mountain Cableway to visit Tianmen Mountain: see Tianmen Cave, the 99-bend road wonder (Tongtian Avenue), Li Na's Villa, Ghost Valley Plank Road, Ghost Valley Military Formation, Yunmeng Fairy Summit, Tianmen Mountain Temple, Lingquan Courtyard, Wood and Stone Love, and other famous sights.
Tianmen Cableway: The cableway has an inclined length of 7,455 meters and a horizontal height difference of 1,279 meters between upper and lower stations. It is the world's longest detachable grip cabin-type cableway, like a rainbow spanning "the human world" and "heaven," and like a giant dragon soaring in the white clouds, rising straight up to the sky, magnificent and spectacular, becoming one of the "Four Wonders" of Tianmen Mountain.
Tongtian Avenue: Known as Tongtian Avenue, the winding mountain road has a total of 99 bends, like a jade belt winding around, with bends closely connected, layer upon layer, clinging to the cliffs, and rushing straight into the clouds. The "World's Number One Road Wonder" has emerged. Viewed from the cableway, the road is as dense as a spider web, with a vertical height difference of about one thousand meters.
Tianmen Cave Opening: 131.5 meters high and more than 50 meters wide, opening north-south on a thousand-fathom white cliff. It is majestic and towering, a rare high-altitude through-mountain karst cave, and an unparalleled wonder showcasing the magic of creation. In 2006, the Russian Air Force's aerobatic performance at Tianmen Mountain escalated the mystery of Tianmen Cave and once again made it a global focus.
Ghost Valley Plank Road: Beneath your feet is boundless green wilderness, groups of small birds play in the canyon, and occasionally an eagle glides past your eyes. Close your eyes, with numb legs and a racing heartbeat, spread your arms, and you can get a most perfect, exciting, and nature-close SPA. After all, you should know that enjoying scenery on a cliff is generally not something ordinary humans can experience.
Tianmen Mountain Temple: Tianmen Mountain Temple is a new legend of Zhangjiajie Tianmen Mountain. On June 8, 2009, a Buddha relic was enshrined in Tianmen Temple. This Sakyamuni Buddha relic is not only the first in Hunan Province but also one of only five currently in China. The temple buildings are elegant and quiet, ingenious and grand, with a wide field of vision. Looking southeast, all mountains appear small, truly possessing the spirit of one mountain reigning supreme. It is the Buddhist center of Xiangxi.
Afternoon: Take the cableway down the mountain, then return to Zhangjiajie city and transfer.
Transfer: End the pleasant journey!
