Tianmen Mountain-Fenghuang Ancient Town
After breakfast, you will visit Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park. Located about 8 kilometers from downtown Zhangjiajie, Tianmen Mountain is revered as the “Number One Sacred Mountain of Western Hunan” and is suitable for visitors of all ages. You will take the cable car directly to the mountaintop (about 30 minutes). During the ride, you can look down at the 99‑bend winding mountain road and the surrounding low‑lying hills.
Upon reaching the summit, you will begin two exciting cliff‑walk hikes. First, experience the fully transparent glass walkway (1.6 m wide, 60 m long). Walking on it feels like strolling above the clouds, with majestic mountain scenery beside you and a deep, bottomless valley underfoot—a truly thrilling experience. Afterwards, hike the 1,600‑meter Guigu Cliff Walkway. The entire walkway clings to the steep cliff face like a giant dragon, allowing you to look down at the mountain ranges below—both breathtaking and spectacular.
Next, visit Tianmen Temple, one of only five Buddhist temples in the world that preserve the Buddha’s sarīra relics. You may also go to Yunmeng Peak, the highest point of the Tianmen Mountain scenic area, for a panoramic view of the surroundings.
Then, take the escalator down to Tianmen Cave, the must‑see highlight of Tianmen Mountain and the world’s highest natural karst arch. After admiring the cave, you can choose to walk down the steep 999‑step staircase or take the elevator directly to the cable station, before riding the cable car back down the mountain.
After visiting Tianmen Mountain, transfer to Fenghuang Ancient Town by car (about 3.5 h) or high‑speed train (1 h). If time permits, do not miss the night view of Fenghuang Ancient Town. When night falls, the ancient town’s nightscape is absolutely stunning.
