๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ Tianmen Mountain: Capturing the Magic Through the Keyhole

#newyearnewtrip Tianmen Mountain, known as the "Mountain of Heaven," is a breathtaking natural wonder in Zhangjiajie, China. Its famous keyhole-shaped arch, the Tianmen Cave, is a must-see for any adventurer. Standing at the edge, youโ€™re treated to panoramic views of lush forests and dramatic cliffs below, with the cave's narrow opening framing the sky. To reach this iconic spot, take the thrilling Tianmen Mountain cable car, one of the longest in the world, which offers jaw-dropping views of the winding roads below. Once at the summit, the glass skywalks offer a heart-pounding walk above the abyss, while the mountain's winding paths lead to stunning views of the surrounding peaks. The highlight, however, is definitely capturing the perfect shot through the keyholeโ€”a once-in-a-lifetime photo opportunity that feels almost otherworldly. Tianmen Mountainโ€™s unique beauty, combined with its adrenaline-pumping activities, makes it an unforgettable experience. #china #familytravel #travel #couplestrip #naturalwonders

Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park - Skywalk

Step onto the clouds at Zhangjiajieโ€™s Tianmen Mountain Skywalk! ๐Ÿ”๏ธ๐Ÿ‘ฃ This heart-pounding glass walkway clings to dramatic cliffs way above the misty valleysโ€”giving you pure airborne thrills and surreal panoramic views. If you crave breathtaking moments, this is your ticket to walk among giants! First, grab your tickets and take the jaw-dropping cable car up, which itself is a must-do (tip: snag a window seat for insane aerial shots). Upon arrival, locate the Skywalk in the Bonsai Stone Area within Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park (ๅผ ๅฎถ็•Œๅธ‚ๆฐธๅฎšๅŒบๅฎ˜้ปŽๅช่ก—้“ๅคฉ้—จๅฑฑๅ›ฝๅฎถๆฃฎๆž—ๅ…ฌๅ›ญ-็›†ๆ™ฏ็ŸณๅŒบ), and prepare for that โ€œfloating in the skyโ€ feeling as you tiptoe along the glass path hugging those high cliffs. Snap the ultimate โ€œinsta-worthyโ€ goodies by framing your photos to show just how far you are off the groundโ€”the classic overhead selfie or a panoramic shot with winding walkways and far-off karst peaks in the background. Donโ€™t miss shots at spots where the drop is most dramatic. For max clarity, head early or on mist-free afternoons. Footcoverings are mandatory (they hand out shoe covers on site), and donโ€™t rushโ€”sometimes the glass gets foggy or slippery. Hold tight to your phone and valuables and be mindful if youโ€™re acrophobic! Also, note the park can get busy; weekdays or off-peak hours mean more peace (and epic photos minus the crowd). Opening hours tend to be 8:00โ€“17:30, but verify before you go. #Zhangjiajie #Skywalk #TianmenMountain #Adventure #EpicViews

Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park

Explored Zhangjiajie and it seriously felt like landing in Pandoraโ€”those epic mountain views and glass walkways are straight out of an adventure movie! ๐ŸŒ„๐Ÿ˜ If you want to pack in jaw-dropping nature and thrills, hereโ€™s your one-day Tianmen Mountain plan. Start your morning early and head straight to Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park (Dayong Road, Yongding District). Get your tickets (278 CNY), and ride the famous cablewayโ€”itโ€™s crazy scenic and saves a climb. Must-See Spots: 1. Skywalk at็›†ๆ™ฏ็ŸณๅŒบ: Test your nerves on this see-through path that clings to the cliff! Itโ€™s unreal for photos, but bring grippy shoes and donโ€™t look down unless youโ€™re brave. 2. Tianmen Mountain Glass Walkway (Yunmeng Xianding to Yihongguan): Open 7:30-19:00, last entry by 16:00! This glass path (also on the peakโ€™s west line) gives you the best adrenaline rush with insane drop views. Go early for fewer crowds and better shots. 3. Hike around Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park: Wander the marked trails for lesser-known viewpoints and tranquil forest air. Insider Tips: - Full day is a MUST here; thereโ€™s so much to see (and the best parts are spaced out!). - Buy your ticket online via trip.com to skip the line. - Pack snacks and a bottle: food options on the mountain are limited and pricey. - Weather can flip fastโ€”bring a light jacket, sunscreen, and backup power for your phone! Getting Around: Use the park shuttle busesโ€”theyโ€™re frequent and fast between cableway station, major viewpoints, and trailheads. Food: Grab quick bites at cableway station before ascending (nothing fancy but fills you up). On the top there is Burger King and other eateries. #Zhangjiajie #TianmenMountain #ChinaTravel #MountainViews #GlassyAdventure
