Explore
Navigate cliff-hanging walkways and explore 9,600 hectares of high-altitude forest.
The top of Tianmen Mountain sits 1,518.6 meters (4,982 ft) above sea level. It features a network of paths bolted directly to vertical cliffs.
Visitors can hike along concrete paths and transparent glass skywalks. The summit is notably cooler than downtown Zhangjiajie, so bring layered clothing.
15-20 mins5 RMB shoe cover fee
This transparent glass path stretches 100 meters across the sheer cliff face. It hangs over 1,430 meters above sea level, offering a clear view of the valley below. You must pay a 5 RMB fee on-site to rent mandatory red shoe covers. These covers prevent scratching the glass.
1-2 hoursSuspended cliff path
This winding concrete walkway extends over the cliff edge. It provides panoramic views of the surrounding karst peaks and valleys. The path takes longer to walk but is generally less congested than the glass sections. It offers similar vertical drops without the transparent floor.
30-45 minsHistoric temple complex
This Buddhist temple complex sits among the thick primary and secondary forests of the plateau. It was originally constructed during the Tang Dynasty. The site offers a quiet area away from the main tourist paths. You can view traditional architecture and burning incense here.
