Tianmen Mountain National Park is located in Zhangjiajie, in the northwestern Hunan Province of China. The mountain is 8 kilometers from the city of Zhangjiajie in northwestern Hunan. Tianmen stands at 1,500 meters above sea level and is often referred to as the “Soul of Zhangjiajie.”. A cable car was built by the French company “Poma” from the adjacentZhangjiajie railway station to the top of the mountain.
Tianmen Mountain National Park Cableway is claimed in tourist publications as the “longest passenger cableway of high mountains in the world.”. Tianmen Mountain is considered a magical place never seen before by uncountable tourists. The Tianmen Mountain National Park integrates wonderful geomorphology landscapes, old-line religious culture, exclusive relics of humanity, wild animals, and primitive forests.
The incredible park has a very high standing and is surrounded by some of its great attractions, like the Tianmen Mountain Cableway, Tianmen Cave (Heaven Gate), Tongtian Avenue (Avenue toward Heaven), Tianmen Temple, Tianmen Academy, Ghost-valley plank road, Yunmeng Fairy Summit, etc. With a deep cultural background, Tianmen Mountain is always considered a great mountain by locals.
The most prominent geographic features of the park are the pillar-like formations that are seen all the way through the park. They’re the result of many years of erosion because the weather is moist year-round, and as a result, the foliage is very dense.
Much of the erosion that forms these pillars is the result of expanding ice in the winter and the plants that grow on them. These formations are a distinctive hallmark of the Chinese landscape and can be found in many ancient Chinese paintings.
