🏛️ What It Is
Tianmen Mountain is famous for Tianmen Cave, the world’s highest natural cave that pierces through a mountain. The “Stairway to Heaven,” with its 990 steps, leads straight to the bottom of the cave. The winding mountain road, with its 99 turns, is known as the “Road to Heaven.” There’s also a glass walkway (60 meters long) built along the cliff’s edge, with a bottomless abyss right beneath your feet.
✨ Why Visit
Tianmen Cave is the symbol of Zhangjiajie. The mountain road is one of the most daring in the world. The glass walkway isn’t for those with a fear of heights—but if you want to challenge yourself, this is the most thrilling spot.
Tips for Visitors
Shoe covers for the glass walkway: 5 yuan
To access the glass walkway, you must rent special shoe covers (5 yuan) at the entrance; you cannot wear your own shoes on the walkway.
