Stop 1

Tianmen Mountain, by Zhangjiajie city, in central China's Hunan Province, has been called "one of the most beautiful mountains in the world" by many travelers who have been there.

The stunning views including 'Heaven's Door' and the 99 Bends, vertical cliffs, the thrilling cliff-hanging walkway and glass skywalk, and the world's longest cable car ride, make it unquestionably one of the best mountains to visit in China. Come, climb the 'Stairway to Heaven'!
The mountain is best reached by cable car. The aerial tramway ride is the longest in the world, taking about 30 minutes for over 7 kilometers.

The last part of the cable way is very steep, going up at 37 degrees over sheer cliffs to one of the mountain peaks.

The cable car starts close to the bus station and railway station. It is often very busy, and waiting in line is normal. The cable car starts at 7:30 in summer and 8:00 in winter.
