Where Earth Touches the Sky – Tianmen Cave Awaits

#chinatravel 🪷 Cultural and Symbolic Meaning The number 9 is significant in Chinese culture, symbolizing eternity and heaven. The "999 Steps" leading to the cave symbolize a spiritual ascent toward enlightenment or heaven. The "99 Bends Road" represents a challenging journey, much like the path to wisdom or a higher realm. Tianmen Cave is often used in Chinese art, poetry, and even Taoist symbolism as a representation of the union between nature and the divine. #tianmencave #travel #china #myitinerary
