Tianmen Mountain Cableway

Very efficient cable car system with lovely views. But there is a bit of a wait, even though it's not a weekend or holiday.

The winter season offers a particularly breathtaking perspective of Tianmen Mountain.Landscape is blanketed in snow, the towering cliffs and winding pathways take on a serene, otherworldly beauty. Visitors can marvel at the Heaven's Gate arch framed by glistening icy formations. The cable car ride up the mountain becomes an even more thrilling experience, as riders are surrounded by the glittering, snow-covered vistas.

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.

Tianmen Mountain Cableway is the world's longest single-line circular alpine passenger cableway, long 7,454 meters, high difference 1277 meters, one-way running time 24 minutes, can take tourists from the modern city atmosphere directly into the green embrace of the original sky garden. The Tianmen Mountain Panshan Highway, known as Tongtian Avenue, is less than 11 kilometers long, but the altitude has increased sharply from 200 meters to more than 1200 meters, as many as ninety-nine bends, which can be called the world's first highway spectacle.

The cableway is 7,454 meters long and the height difference is 1277 meters. It is the world's longest alpine sightseeing passenger cableway. The one-way operation time is about 28 minutes. The local slope between the station and the upper station is even higher than 37 degrees. It is rare in the world. It is the largest local slope in China and the most bracketed cableway. There are 98 cars and 57 cableway brackets (including 3 ambulance brackets), all of which are imported from Europe. The original sky garden in the center of Zhangjiajie is one of the "four wonders" of Tianmen Mountain Tourist Scenic Area.
