Description

Welcome to Tianmen Mountain, where your adventure begins! Prepare to challenge the dizzying glass skywalk and stand in awe of the legendary Heaven's Gate. To ensure a smooth and hassle-free visit, we strongly recommend purchasing your park tickets online in advance. Why Book Ahead? Guaranteed Entry: The park operates a daily visitor limit, especially during peak seasons. Tickets often sell out, and availability at the gate is not guaranteed. You may need to book your tickets over a week in advance for popular travel periods. Seamless Access: Present your passport for quick and easy entry at the gate. Skip the Hassle: Purchasing tickets on-site can be inconvenient. It often requires RMB cash and involves waiting in long queues, wasting your precious vacation time. Don't leave your experience to chance. Booking online is the most reliable way to secure your visit and avoid the disappointment of arriving to a "sold out" sign.

The brave ones can also walk on the glass plank road hanging on the wall and experience the excitement of walking in the air. Tianmenshan National Forest Park is close to Zhangjiajie city. The Tianmen Cave in the mountain is a natural cave that penetrates the mountain. Local people believe that it can lead directly to heaven. Tianmenshan National Forest Park is full of towering ancient trees and entwined vines.

Wonderful

Magical attention, set aside a whole day to tour the entire mountain and not just the gate.

Wow...just wow!

The VIP package doesn't really get you much extra, but you (a) get a priority line going up and (b) a lounge at the base. Nice, but may not be worth it for many people. That said, Tianmen Mountain is truly a "can't miss" experience.
