Tianmen Mountain - 天门山

Trip date: May 27th 2021 Getting There - From my hotel, the owner drove me to the entrance on the mountain where I paid the entrance and cable car fee. Then I took the cable car up part way where I climbed up the steps to the hole in the mountain. It's tough but a wonderful achievement! From here there's more to explore around the top which took me around 3 hours, then there's another cable car that can take you right down to the railway station in town. Attractions - Of course the hole in the mountain! Around the top there's also long escalators which take you up further, but they are very narrow and you can't walk up them past people, so it can take around 15mins to get past all the escalators. There's a glass bridge you can walk around for a small fee which is exciting if you like that sort of thing. And you can walk across a long hanging bridge which is also thrilling! In all, the trip took me from about 10:30-15:00. Food & Restaurants - There are some small food places along the way but suggest you bring water and snacks too. #naturalwonders#nationalpark#hiking

Tianmen Mountain (simplified Chinese: 天门山; traditional Chinese: 天門山; pinyin: Tiānmén Shān; lit. 'Heaven's Gate Mountain') is a mountain located within Tianmen Mountain National Park, Zhangjiajie, in the northwestern part of Hunan Province, China. The cave is on the precipices and is over 1260 meters elevation, the height of the cave is 131.5 meters and the width is about 50 meters. The cave is like the door to heaven; it looks like the junction of common world and the place where god lives. Guest may need to walk up 999 steps to reach the cave, it will be tried but lucky, because '9' is the biggest number in Chinese culture and 999 means an eternal/forever life. Or you can take the world longest escalator over 5 times to get to the cave and another 7 times to get to the peak! #naturalwonders#camping#hiking#themeparks#nationalpark#lakes#beaches#infinitypool
