Do you know how to play in Tianmen Mountain, Zhangjiajie?

What is time-sharing? It means that the number of people entering the scenic spot is limited, and you can enter in batches. You can't enter just by buying a ticket. Zhangjiajie City has two tourist business cards, one is Wulingyuan and the other is Tianmen Mountain. The Tianmen Mountain here is where the plane passes through Tianmen Cave! In my impression, Wulingyuan Scenic Area is very large and complicated to visit, while Tianmen Mountain is much simpler. But in fact, is this really the case? Is Tianmen Mountain in Tianzi Mountain? What are the details of timed visits? Do I have to take the cableway to go to Tianmen Mountain? Can’t I climb to the top? Is there only Tianmen Cave in Tianmen Mountain? Is the legendary glass plank road above or below Tianmen Cave? Are you confused~~Look down! The answers are all below!

Are Tianmen Mountain and Tianzi Mountain the same place?

No, they are completely two attractions. Although they are both part of Zhangjiajie, they are more than 40 kilometers apart. Tianzi Mountain is a small scenic spot in Wulingyuan Scenic Area. Tianmen Mountain is an independent 5A-level national forest park in the urban area of ??Zhangjiajie. Therefore, when traveling to Zhangjiajie, friends, don’t confuse these two attractions!

Moreover, there may be Tianmen Mountain in other places across the country, but please remember - only Tianmen Mountain in Zhangjiajie is the one with Tianmen Cave!

What is there to see in Tianmen Mountain?

Tianmen Mountain is a business card-level scenic spot in Zhangjiajie that is as famous as Wulingyuan and is known as the "No. 1 Sacred Mountain in Western Hunan". The Tianmen Cave, Guigu Plank Road, Glass Plank Road, and Tianmen Cableway in the scenic area are must-experience highlights of the scenic spot.

Tianmen Cave

Tianmen Cave is the symbol and the first highlight of Tianmen Mountain in Zhangjiajie. The former airplane flying through Tianmen Cave performance made it famous all over the world. This cave is not man-made, but a natural cave through the mountain, so it is definitely a wonder.

To go up to the cave, you must pass the "Ladder to Heaven" with 999 stone steps. "Don't say that the mountain is so high up in the sky, there is really a ladder to heaven." Many tourists arrived here and climbed to the top regardless of fatigue. They were so excited that they seemed to have reached heaven. Standing at the entrance of the cave and looking down, everything is small, I feel full of accomplishment, and most of the fatigue from climbing has disappeared.

Gui Valley Plank Road

Gui Valley Plank Road is the second highlight of Tianmen Mountain. It is said that Gui Guzi, a political strategist and Taoist during the Warring States Period, once practiced in seclusion in a cave in this mountain, leaving behind the "Guigu Cave", hence the name of this plank road.

The plank road is 3.2 kilometers long and is built on a winding cliff. It is equivalent to a height of 400 floors (the Burj Khalifa is only 162 floors) and is very steep. Looking down is a densely forested valley, unfathomable. The tour lasts about one hour.

Glass Plank Road

The Guigu Plank Road mentioned above is already high enough and shocking enough. But if you replace the cement slabs on the plank road with transparent glass, it won’t be more exciting! The glass plank road in Tianmen Mountain is such a place that will make your legs weak. Every tourist who steps onto the glass plank road has a different expression on their face. Some are worried, some are excited and happy, some are dumbfounded, and some have dull eyes! I have to say, this is a challenge to your courage. In the embrace of nature, human beings are insignificant!

The glass plank road is 60 meters long. You need to wear special shoe covers to walk up. The shoe covers cost 5 yuan/person (some people sell shoe covers at the Tianmen Mountain Ticket Station, but they are a lie. There are special shoe covers on the glass plank road)

Tianmen Mountain Cableway

From the city to Tianmen. The top of the mountain, with a total length of nearly 15 kilometers, is one of the few alpine ropeways in China with a height difference of more than 1,000 meters, and the local inclination is so large that it is rare in the world. The cableway is divided into three stations: upper, middle and lower stations. The next station is the city and the upper station is the top of the mountain. It takes about half an hour one way. At your feet is a vast sea of ??forests, green mountains and endless scenery, giving you a feeling of "flying to the sky".

Below the cable car, you can also see the famous Tianmen Mountain Winding Highway, the most famous highway wonder in the world.

The total length of the winding mountain road is about 11 kilometers, and the altitude rises sharply from 200 meters to 1,300 meters. There are thousands of cliffs on both sides of the road, deep valleys, and a total of 99 bends. The 180-degree sharp bends are one after another, like a jade belt surrounded by twists and turns. Closely connected, layer upon layer, it is known as the "Tongtian Avenue".

How to play in Tianmen Mountain?

Tianmen Mountain is divided into two parts: the foot of the mountain and the top of the mountain. Tianmen Cave is at the foot of the mountain. The top part includes the Ghost Valley Plank Road and the Glass Plank Road. There are escalators connecting the mountain and the mountain.

How to arrange tour routes on and off the mountain?

Route A: First go to the top of the mountain and then go down the mountain. The cableway goes up the mountain and the road goes down the mountain. Specifics: Cableway up the mountain - Peak tour - Take the escalator down the mountain to Tianmen Cave - Take the scenic tour bus down the mountain to the mountain gate - Transfer to the free shuttle bus to the lower station of the cableway.

Route B: First go down the mountain and then to the top, go up the mountain by road and go down the mountain by cableway. Specifics: Take the shuttle bus from the cableway station to the mountain gate - take the scenic tour bus to Tianmen Cave - after visiting Tianmen Cave, take the escalator through the mountain to the top of the mountain - visit the top of the mountain - go down the mountain with the cableway.

Which one is better, Line A or Line B?

The only difference between Line A and Line B is the order of tours. The scenic spots seen are the same. But I recommend Line B, which is the road up the mountain and the cableway down the mountain. Because the queue time for environmentally friendly vehicles going up the mountain on the highway is relatively short. Most people who come to Tianmen Mountain will prefer Line A, but the queue time for the cableway up the mountain is basically more than 2 hours. If you must choose Line A, it is recommended that you book Line A tickets at least one day in advance. Otherwise, you can only go to the window to buy full-price tickets on the same day, and even if you buy full-price tickets, you have to go early. The reason will be explained in detail in the ticket section later.

Among them, the top of the mountain is divided into the west line and the east line.

Western line of the top of the mountain (from north to south): Cableway upper station - Lingxiao Terrace - West line glass plank road - Yihongguan - North section of Guigu plank road - Guigu Bingpan - Yefu hidden treasure - Ghost The southern section of the Valley Plank Road - Suspension Bridge - Guangui Valley Cave - Mahe - Qiuer Cave - Cherry Bay - Tianmenshan Temple - take the forest sightseeing cable car to Yunmeng Xianding or continue to tour the east line from south to north - go up the mountain escalator.

Eastern line of the top of the mountain (from north to south): station on the cableway - Suosuo Shenyu - Davidia Garden - Bonsai Stone Area - Tianmen Fanshui (station on the escalator through the mountain) - overlooking Tianmen from the north - Lingquan - Happy Forest - Yuhu Peak - Zuiyunting - Kooyunguan - Xianyuan - East Line Glass Plank Road - South Overlooking Tianmen - East Line Plank Road - Love of Wood and Stone - Cherry Bay - Tianmen Mountain Temple - Take the Peak Sightseeing Cable Car to Yunmeng Xianding Or continue to visit the West Line from south to north - go up the mountain escalator.

Which one should I choose, the Western Front or the Eastern Front?

Compared with the East-West Line, the Western Line is more beautiful! If you have enough time, you can take a summit loop.

For route A, because it is a cableway going up the mountain, when you reach the top of the mountain, the tour starts from the station on the cableway (from north to south). For route B, take the escalator from Tianmen Cave to the top of the mountain. The tour starts from the station on the escalator (from south to north).

If you don’t have enough time, it is recommended to only take the west route instead of the east route. When visiting Tianmen Mountain Temple on the west route, take the mountaintop forest sightseeing cable car (chair cable car, 25 yuan per person one way) to Yunnan Temple. Mengxianding, and then walk for about 30 minutes from Yunmengxianding to the upper station of the mountain escalator.

Tips:

1. In winter, Tianmen Mountain only opens to the top of the mountain for tours, and only cableways can go up and down the mountain. The Tianmen Cave at the foot of the mountain will be closed, but not for long, usually more than ten days.

2. The mountain escalator is divided into two sections. The upper section is from the top of the mountain to the entrance of Tianmen Cave. It is free to ride. There is a fee from the entrance of Tianmen Cave to the square in front of the cave (an alternative way to go up the ladder, which is more labor-saving and does not require walking up 999 steps), one way 32 yuan per person.
