Introduction
Tianmen Mountain, in Yongding, Zhangjiajie, Hunan, China, takes its name from the natural 'Heavenly Gate' hole pierced through the mountain — Zhangjiajie's landmark peak, made famous worldwide when a 1999 airshow flew through the gate. A lone peak in clouds, its 'Avenue toward Heaven' switchbacks in 99 dizzying bends, hailed as the 'world's top road wonder'; the cliff-hugging glass walkway tests courage. Ride the world's longest alpine passenger cableway to the clouds for a view of Wuling peaks and the river valley — where natural wonder meets engineering awe, a must-visit.
