Make sure you book tickets before you go. Line B for foreigners is a good route. Absolutely worth the trip amazingly beautiful and stunning views. Wear comfortable shoes and allow around 4-6hrs.

Visited here on Saturday, 9 March 2024, and the weather is pretty cold and chilling up in the mountain top. Layered clothing with a warm jacket is definitely a must. Recommended to take the Tianmen Mountain Cable Car, which is reputed to be the longest cable car ride in the world with a 7,455 metres length, and the ride is about 28 minutes. There's so much to see in Tianmen Mountain, like the Cliffside Glass Path, Tianmen Cave / Tianmen Hole, etc.

I am impressed with the nature and scenery. There are pros and cons though. Pros: amazing scenery and wonderful nature. The Management did an excellent job in managing the crowd and traffics. There are a lot of staffs to make sure you are safe. Cons: Loads of people visit there. You need to queue up for 2 hours to get through. So, I don't think it is a good idea for family with kids or elderly. Most toilets are squat so after all the walking and standing 2 hours , it is challenging! Note: you need to be a bit fit.

First, we took the 7746 m cable car to reach Tianmen (Heaven’s Gate) Mt, the starting point of our long walk to the cave at the Tianmen (Heaven’s Gate). Along the way, we walked along the edges of cliffs, with sheer drop to abyss on one side, made more enchanting by light fog. We also walked through the Glass Plank Walkway where we had to put on shoe covers before entering. We walked about 50 minutes before reaching a rest area where there were benches, food and drinks. We went down many long escalators before reaching Tianmen. At the Tianmen, we saw a big hole through the mountain. We had to go down many more long escalators before reaching the lower level to view Tianmen. Tianmen viewed from below was more impressive than when we were actually there. After this, we had to go down many more long escalators, and walking along cliffs before reaching another cable car station which brought us down to the place where we watched Tianmen Fox Fairy Show the previous night. See my many photos.

I can to china for a business visit and the teip to zhiangjiyaji was not in my initial plan . Just to spend a sunday i travelled from guanzhou to zhangjaji without much of an expectation .. but the experience was mind blowing .. it is a natural wonder with master engineering works of chines nationals.. spectacular trip . I think most of the international tourists are not aware of this wonderful place . Bcs only very few visitors other than chinees nationals and koreans can be seen in this place.. I gave 5 star for this place and this is must visit place in the world.. Hats of to china and master minds behind this well planned tourism

There are two main tickets lines A & C, Line A takes you directly from the Cable way station in Zhangjiajie to the top of the mountain (And return), for Line C (which we had taken) you first take a Bus shuttle from the downtown Cable way station which takes you to the base of Tianmenshan and its from there you take the cable cart up to the base of Heavens Door, you then need to walk up the stairway or pay extra for the elevator up to the cave opening than take further 5 sets of escalators to reach the very top of the mountain. If you're on a tight schedule, don't intend to walk much or traveling with elderly, I highly recommend buying Line A tickets. But unlike Line C you don't get to see Heavens Door unless you personally make yourself down from the top. We also tried waiting for the light show but we didn't do enough research regarding this to our knowledge the lights turn on after 7-7.30pm but the park closes before and we waited till 6.30pm. Lots of restaurants at the top and all prices decently, the great thing was that it can be fully completed in 6 hours by longer route Line C. Highly recommended.

Beautiful place! Took the longest cable car from town up to the mountain. It was misty on top but I didn’t mind as it was a different vibe (in a good way). Interesting to be standing under the huge hole, and walking down the 999 steps was rather interesting.
