Day 1 Changsha pickup, Tianmen Mountain day tour
Morning At around 07:00, gather at Changsha Railway Station, then take a tour bus via the Changsha-Zhangjiajie Expressway to Zhangjiajie.
Afternoon Take a bus to the lower station of the Tianmen Mountain cableway and visit Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park. Tianmen Mountain has a profound cultural heritage and is known as the "Soul of Wuling", and even more so as the first sacred mountain of Xiangxi. It combines peaks, rocks, springs, streams, clouds, and forests in one, and gathers majesty, wonder, beauty, steepness, and seclusion in one, and is praised as an aerial primeval garden. We take the Tianmen Mountain cableway to visit Tianmen Mountain: see Tianmen Cave, the 99-bend road wonder (Tongtian Avenue), Li Na Villa, Guigu Plank Road, Guigu Military Formation, Yunmeng Fairy Summit, Tianmen Mountain Temple, Lingquan Courtyard, Wood and Stone Love, and other famous scenic spots.
Tianmen Cableway: The cableway line has an inclined length of 7,455 meters, with a horizontal height difference of 1,279 meters between the upper and lower stations. It is the world's longest detachable grip cabin-style cableway, like a rainbow flying between the "mortal world" and "heaven", and like a giant dragon soaring in the white clouds and sky, rising straight up to the heavens, magnificent and spectacular, becoming one of the "Four Wonders" of Tianmen Mountain.
Tongtian Avenue: The winding mountain road known as Tongtian Avenue has a total of 99 bends, like a jade belt winding around, bend after bend closely connected, layer upon layer stacked, clinging to the mountain and cliffs, rushing straight into the clouds. The "Number One Road Wonder Under Heaven" emerged in the world. 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 sheer cliff of a thousand fathoms. It is majestic and towering, a rare high-altitude through-mountain karst cave, and even more a peerless wonder fully displaying the magic of creation. In 2006, the Russian Air Force's aerobatic flight performance at Tianmen Mountain escalated the mystery of Tianmen Cave and once again made it a global focus.
Guigu Plank Road: Beneath your feet is boundless green wilderness, flocks of small birds play in the canyon, and occasionally an eagle sweeps past your eyes. Close your eyes, brace your numb legs, with a racing heartbeat, spread your arms, and you can get the most perfect, most exciting, and most nature-close SPA. Because you should know that enjoying scenery on a cliff is generally not something ordinary humans can enjoy.
Tianmen Mountain Temple: Tianmen Mountain Temple is a new legend of Zhangjiajie Tianmen Mountain. On June 8, 2009, a Buddhist relic was enshrined at 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 broad field of vision. Looking far to the southeast, all the mountains appear small, truly possessing the spirit of one mountain standing supreme, and it is the Buddhist center of Xiangxi.
Then take the cableway down the mountain and return to Zhangjiajie city area.
