"Tianmen Mountain is famous for a series of limits, and no hot-blooded man can resist his temptation. It is very convenient to take the cableway directly from the city to the top of the mountain. It is recommended to walk from the mountaintop cableway station to the west line to Tianmenshan Temple, and then take the cableway back to the mountaintop cableway station. Then walk to the East Line to experience the longest escalator to the landmark attraction Tianmen Cave."

The Tianmen Cave in the mountain is a natural cave that penetrates the mountain. Local people believe that it can lead directly to heaven. For ordinary tourists, Tianmen Cave is not open all year round.

In 2020, the Attraction opened an express line, with the lower station near the gate of Tianmen Mountain and the upper station near the Tianmen Cave parking lot.Tianmenshan National Forest Park is full of towering ancient trees and entwined vines. The Attraction is divided into several main areas, including Tianmen Cave, the middle line, the east line and the west Attraction. Visitors can choose different routes and areas to play according to their preferences and physical strength.The core attraction of the middle line is the Tianmen Mountain Temple and the "Child-Seeking Cave" near the temple. According to folklore, the Goddess of Complimentary appeared here, and if you make a sincere wish, you will get children. The highlight of the west line is a 60-meter-long "glass plank road" built on a cliff. The road under your feet is made of transparent glass. When you walk on it, you can see the abyss under your feet. While you are terrified, you can also feel the joy of walking in the air. Currently, the east line and Panlong Cliff have also opened up glass plank roads about 60 meters long.You can't stay in the Attraction, so you can only visit it in one day. There is a "Cherry Bay Restaurant" near Tianmenshan Temple, which provides snacks and fast food.Near the lower station of the Tianmen Mountain Cableway, there is a shuttle bus that takes you to the Canyon Grand Theater, where you can watch the live performance and the magical musical "Tianmen Fox Fairy".

"The room is big enough, clean enough, and convenient to travel outside the scenic spot. The boss sent raincoats and mountain climbing gloves very intimate. Due to the rain, drinking tea in the room, the gap provided is very pleasant and worth recommending. There is a mahjong table in the room 😲"

Three Natural Bridges

"The early green leather car went from Chongqing to Wulong. The scenic car was included in the ticket. It was driven all the way to the gate of Wulong Tiankeng No. 2. It is estimated that it is to sell the glass plank road (a bit deliberate). You have to go back for a long time to take the elevator at Exit 1, and queue up to take the elevator. The scenery of Tiankeng is very good and the weather is very good. The sun is shining, there are more stairs, and the bottom is a large flat ground, although it is down. The battery car from the Tiankeng is 15 yuan in 2 minutes. The whole journey is up. It takes about 180 steps to go up. If the physical strength is really not good, you can take it. I took my parents in their 70s to go, and I could only go to the crater physically, gave up the ground seam, and gave it to the friends who brought the elderly for reference."

"Overall evaluation: Qixingzhai attractions are very amazing, the ground seam view is very good, and it feels normal to see the waterfall in the attraction. There is no way to go directly to the ticket office of the scenic spot by car. It takes a long way to go to the ticket office to play. Suggestion: first go to Qixingzhai and then go to the ground seam to see the small waterfall."

A stick of incense is 150 meters high, with a diameter of 6 meters at the bottom and a minimum diameter of only 4 meters. Its rock type is Triassic limestone. Because the strata here are horizontal, and the rock has a high compressive strength (800 kg/cm3), and there is no tilt or slip, it cannot be moved by the wind or knocked down by the rain.

It is scientific, safe, and magnificent. Welcome SongThe Welcoming Pine, which is estimated to be nearly a thousand years old, grows proudly on the cliff, as if opening its arms to welcome tourists from all over the world.
