The tallest known natural stone arch in the world - Atushi Tianmen!

Tianmen is located in the southern range of the Western Tianshan Mountains in Shangatushi Township, Atushi City, Kizilsu Kirgiz Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region! Standing at Tianmen, one can’t help but feel that nature’s sculptures are so magical, and that every stone here seems to be cast with a beautiful spell, like a magical mural, or like arriving in another fairyland! The eye-catching giant dragon stone is coiled on the cliff, as if it was made by nature and is a masterpiece of nature! How ingenious and skillful nature is, to decorate it so magnificently and yet gorgeously! A sky gate contains the blue sky, the oasis and the mountains. When people come here, their mood becomes brighter! Legend has it that the gods in heaven descended to the earth through this gate to bestow their blessings on the human world. There is also a saying in the local area that one enters the fairyland by stepping into the gate of heaven! The wonders and temptations of Atushi Tianmen do not end there. It has stood here quietly for a thousand years, waiting for more people to appreciate its magnificent wonders!

I had seen an introduction to Atushi Tianmen in China National Geographic a long time ago. I was looking forward to seeing its uniqueness, but it seemed out of reach.
