【Tianmen Mountain Ultimate Guide｜Screaming on the Glass Skywalk in the Clouds】

📍Address: Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park, Yongding District, Zhangjiajie City, Hunan Province 🚇Transportation: We stayed at the Four Famous Residences Aesthetic Inn, just downstairs from the Tianmen Mountain Cableway Company—super convenient! ⏰Recommended Duration: 5-7 hours (Go early to avoid crowds!) 💰Ticket Guide I chose Route A! Cableway straight to the summit + 999-step staircase = mind-blowing experience Ticket: 278 RMB (includes cableway)—the best value for money👑 ｜Glass skywalk shoe covers: 5 RMB｜Mountain escalator: 32 RMB ⚠️Booked 7 days in advance through our hotel—hassle-free! Bring your ID for facial recognition entry—super easy. 🌈Top 5 Must-Visit Spots ❶Tianmen Cave ▫️The world’s highest natural karst cave! Looks like a gateway to heaven on foggy days. ▫️Climbing the 999 steps is ultra-ritualistic (take the escalator if your legs give out). ❷Glass Skywalk (East/West Route) ▫️East Route has fewer people and wilder views! 60-meter transparent walkway on the cliff edge. ▫️Photo tip: Sit for a low-angle shot + wide lens = floating-in-the-clouds masterpiece. ❸Tianmen Mountain Cableway ▫️Asia’s longest at 7,455 meters! 30-minute ride through clouds, villages, and cliffs. ▫️Window seat is a must! Film a vlog at departure—feels like a time-travel machine. ❹99-Bend Heaven-Linking Avenue ▫️Total Initial D vibes! Ride the shuttle bus for a real-life rollercoaster experience. ▫️Drone footage is insane (observation deck at the summit has telescopes). ❺Cloud Dream Fairy Summit ▫️Tianmen Mountain’s highest point! Touch the clouds and watch sunrise—breathtaking. ▫️Forest cable car is pure therapy (25 RMB one-way, worth every penny). 🚶♀️Lazy-Friendly Route Route A: Cableway up → West Glass Skywalk → Ghost Valley Walkway → Tianmen Temple → Forest Cable Car → Cloud Dream Summit → Mountain Escalator → Tianmen Cave → Express Cableway down. 📸Instagram-Worthy Spots ▫️Tianmen Cave Plaza low-angle shot (3 PM light is magical). ▫️Dove Tree Garden ancient trees (forest filter + white dress = fairytale vibes). ▫️Jade Pot Peak Glass Viewing Deck (360° sea of clouds). ⚠️Hard-Earned Tips ☑️Big temperature swings at the summit! Sun-protective jacket + sneakers are key. ☑️Pack light snacks! Mountain-top sausages cost 8 RMB, corn 10 RMB. ☑️Don’t skip rainy days! Foggy Tianmen Cave is even more surreal than sunny days. ✨Outfit Ideas Bright-colored windbreaker/Hanfu + anti-slip shoes Sunglasses + straw hat = sun protection + photo-ready. ㊗️May all sisters capture their best-life photos📷
