Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park

Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park gets its name from the natural wonder "Tianmen Cave." When visiting the attraction, you can enjoy panoramic views of the winding Heaven-Linking Avenue and the stunning mountain scenery from the cable car. For the brave-hearted, walking along the cliffside glass skywalk offers an exhilarating experience of strolling through the air.

Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park is located close to the urban area of Zhangjiajie. The Tianmen Cave in the mountain is a natural karst cave, and local people believe it leads directly to heaven. For regular visitors, Tianmen Cave is not open year-round. During winter each year, due to snow and icy roads, both Tianmen Cave and the Heaven-Linking Avenue (a winding mountain road with 99 bends) leading to it are closed.

Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park is filled with towering ancient trees and winding vines. The attraction is divided into several main areas including Tianmen Cave, the Central Route, the Eastern Route, and the Western Route. Visitors can choose different routes and areas to explore based on their preferences and physical condition.

The main attraction along the central route is Tianmen Mountain Temple. Nearby lies the "Child-Seeking Cave," where local legend says the Child-Giving Guanyin Bodhisattva once appeared. Devout prayers here are believed to grant wishes for children. The highlight of the western route is a 60m-long glass walkway built along sheer cliffs. With transparent glass underfoot, walking across offers thrilling views of the deep valley below while experiencing the exhilaration of walking on air. Currently, both the eastern route and Panlong Cliff also feature their own 60m-long glass walkways.

The attraction does not offer accommodation, so it must be completed in one day. Near Tianmen Mountain Temple, there is "Cherry Bay Restaurant" which provides snacks and fast food.

Near the lower station of Tianmen Mountain Cableway, shuttle buses are available to the "Grand Canyon Theater," where you can watch the live-action performance and magical musical Tianmen Fox Fairy. Adapted from the mythological tale Liu Hai Cuts Firewood, it tells a touching love story between a human and a fox spirit. With live music, atmospheric lighting, and captivating scenes like a giant moon, fox spirit transformations, falling snow, and a high-altitude flying bridge, this legendary romance is vividly brought to life.
