The biggest problem with Tianmen Mountain is not taking the same path back

Tianmen Mountain is worth the climb! Zhangjiajie Tianmen Mountain is one of the few mountains suitable for all ages, and it's not necessary to climb it. There is a cable car that goes directly to the top of the mountain, and there is a smaller cable car on the summit. The only walking required is the steps to Heaven's Gate, and there's even an elevator. Yes, a lazy tour of Tianmen Mountain can be even lazier. Tianmen Mountain has solved all the problems that money can solve. Despite the various industrial technologies, this does not mean there are no attractions: ▫️ Tianmen Mountain Cableway, with a total length of 7,455 meters, is the highest mountain cableway in Asia ▫️ Heaven's Gate Cave, the world's highest natural mountain cave ▫️ Mountain Escalator, the world's longest outdoor mountain escalator ▫️ The number one mountain road spectacle, with 99 bends (not open) ▫️ If you're lucky, you might encounter outdoor extremists challenging their limits here ✅ So the biggest problem with Tianmen Mountain is not taking the same path back. To avoid this, you need to prepare in three aspects: buy the right ticket for going up the mountain, choose the right walking route on the summit, and then save the key information (attractions) in advance. Tickets for going up the mountain, there are three types of tickets for Tianmen Mountain (23.6): A ticket: Tianmen Mountain Cableway up + Heaven's Gate Cave Cableway down B ticket: Heaven's Gate Cave Cableway up + Tianmen Mountain Cableway down C ticket: Round trip on Heaven's Gate Cave Cableway ❗️ Tianmen Mountain Cableway = Asia's number one cableway, the upper terminal is the summit of Tianmen Mountain ❗️ Heaven's Gate Cave Cableway = a shortcut, short time, the upper terminal is Heaven's Gate Cave ❗️ A, B require walking 999 steps one way, C requires walking 999 steps round trip ❗️ All three types of tickets are 278 yuan per person, and it is recommended to book at least one day in advance ✔️ I personally recommend choosing A, take the Tianmen Mountain Cableway from the city to the summit - walk the west/east line on the summit - take the mountain escalator to Heaven's Gate Cave - walk down the 999 steps of Heaven's Gate Cave - take the Heaven's Gate Cave Cableway down the mountain.
