Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park

Explored Zhangjiajie and it seriously felt like landing in Pandora—those epic mountain views and glass walkways are straight out of an adventure movie! 🌄😍 If you want to pack in jaw-dropping nature and thrills, here’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 cableway—it’s crazy scenic and saves a climb. Must-See Spots: 1. Skywalk at盆景石区: Test your nerves on this see-through path that clings to the cliff! It’s unreal for photos, but bring grippy shoes and don’t look down unless you’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 peak’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; there’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 fast—bring a light jacket, sunscreen, and backup power for your phone! Getting Around: Use the park shuttle buses—they’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

Get Lost in Zhangjiajie’s Surreal Landscapes 🌲🌄✨ Prepare for jaw-dropping scenery and mountains that look straight out of a fantasy film—walking these trails feels almost unreal! Here’s your perfect adventure route: Start your day at Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park 🏔️. Take the Tianmenshan Cableway for breathtaking aerial views as you ascend. The glass skywalk is a must—capture your “floating above the clouds” moment for the ultimate insta-worthy shot! Don’t skip the cliff-hanging walkway or the Tianmen Cave. Tip: Try to arrive before 9 AM to experience cooler temps and less foot traffic. The park opens at 7:30 AM and last admission is 4 PM, so pace yourself for plenty of time to explore. Admission is 278 RMB. Be sure to wear sturdy shoes, as there’s a lot of walking and some steep areas—worth every step for the scenery! Next, head to Zhangjiajie National Forest Park 🌲. Roam the Avatar Hallelujah Mountains for views you can barely believe—every corner reveals a new photo op! The park opens at 7 AM with final entry at 5 PM, and admission is 227 RMB. A walking stick can help with longer stretches (trust me, your legs will thank you). Bring plenty of water and snacks, as the trails are extensive. Personal tip: Don’t rush—give yourself time to soak it all up. Even if the hike feels long, the stunning rock formations and forested peaks make every step magical. #Zhangjiajie #NatureLover #EpicViews #ChinaTravel #PhotoSpot
