Downtown Tianmen Mountain and Tianmen Cave One-Day Tour
Morning:
Take a bus to the lower station of Tianmen Mountain cableway and visit Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park (￥258 entrance ticket and cableway ticket included). Tianmen Mountain has profound cultural heritage, known as the "Soul of Wuling" and the "First Sacred Mountain of Xiangxi." It combines peaks, rocks, springs, streams, clouds, and forests, integrating majesty, peculiarity, beauty, precipitousness, and tranquility, and is praised as an aerial primitive garden. We will take the Tianmen Mountain cableway to visit Tianmen Mountain: see Tianmen Cave, the 99-bend road wonder (Tongtian Avenue), Li Na Villa, Ghost Valley Plank Road, Ghost Valley Military Formation, Yunmeng Fairy Summit, Tianmen Mountain Temple, Lingquan Courtyard, Wood and Stone Love, and other famous scenic spots.
Tianmen Cableway: The cableway has an inclined length of 7,455 meters and a horizontal height difference of 1,279 meters between the upper and lower stations. It is the world's longest single-line circulating detachable grip cabin-type cableway, like a rainbow flying between "the human world" and "heaven," and also like a giant dragon soaring in the sky, clinging to the mountain and rising to the sky, soul-stirring and magnificent. It has become one of the "Four Wonders" of Tianmen Mountain Tourist Scenic Area.
Tongtian Avenue: The winding road known as Tongtian Avenue has a total of 99 bends, like a jade belt winding around, with each bend closely connected, layer upon layer, clinging to the mountain and rising straight to the clouds. The "World's No. 1 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 kilometer.
Tianmen Cave Opening: Climb 999 steps to Tianmen Cave and pray for blessings. It is 131.5 meters high and more than 50 meters wide, opening from north to south on a sheer cliff, magnificent and towering. It is a rare high-altitude through-mountain cave and a peerless wonder showing the magic of nature. The 2006 Russian Air Force aerobatic performance at Zhangjiajie Tianmen Mountain increased the mystery of Tianmen Cave and once again made it a global focus.
Ghost Valley Plank Road: Beneath your feet is boundless green wilderness, flocks of small birds play in the canyon, and occasionally an eagle glides past your eyes. Close your eyes, stretch your numb legs, with a racing heartbeat, open your arms, and you can get a most perfect, exciting, and nature-close spa experience. After all, enjoying scenery on a cliff is generally not something ordinary humans can enjoy.
Afternoon:
Take the Tianmen Mountain cableway down to Zhangjiajie Downtown, where guests can visit freely. Transfer for return trip and end the pleasant journey!
