moment of pleasure
Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park

Explored Zhangjiajie and it seriously felt like landing in Pandora—those epic mountain views and glass walkways are straight out of an adventure movie! 🌄😍 If you want to pack in jaw-dropping nature and thrills, here’s your one-day Tianmen Mountain plan. Start your morning early and head straight to Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park (Dayong Road, Yongding District). Get your tickets (278 CNY), and ride the famous cableway—it’s crazy scenic and saves a climb. Must-See Spots: 1. Skywalk at盆景石区: Test your nerves on this see-through path that clings to the cliff! It’s unreal for photos, but bring grippy shoes and don’t look down unless you’re brave. 2. Tianmen Mountain Glass Walkway (Yunmeng Xianding to Yihongguan): Open 7:30-19:00, last entry by 16:00! This glass path (also on the peak’s west line) gives you the best adrenaline rush with insane drop views. Go early for fewer crowds and better shots. 3. Hike around Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park: Wander the marked trails for lesser-known viewpoints and tranquil forest air. Insider Tips: - Full day is a MUST here; there’s so much to see (and the best parts are spaced out!). - Buy your ticket online via trip.com to skip the line. - Pack snacks and a bottle: food options on the mountain are limited and pricey. - Weather can flip fast—bring a light jacket, sunscreen, and backup power for your phone! Getting Around: Use the park shuttle buses—they’re frequent and fast between cableway station, major viewpoints, and trailheads. Food: Grab quick bites at cableway station before ascending (nothing fancy but fills you up). On the top there is Burger King and other eateries. #Zhangjiajie #TianmenMountain #ChinaTravel #MountainViews #GlassyAdventure
