The cable car alone is worth the ticket — it runs from the city centre up over the 99 bends. Up top, the Ghost Valley and glass walkways hang over a drop that made my legs go.
Tianmen Mountain · cable car, glass walkway, Heaven’s Gate
A 7,455 m cable car straight from the city to the summit, then the cliff walk and the arch
老实说
这一天到底怎么过The 7.5 km cable car from the city, the cliff paths at the top and the 999 steps down through the arch — the most vertical day we run, with escalators where it counts.
适合
- Travellers who want the big view
- Anyone with a head for heights
什么情况下别订
Vertigo. The glass walkways are optional, but the cliff paths are not.
Tianmen Mountain and the national forest park are different places, an hour apart. People book one expecting the other.
一天的起点与终点
以下时间皆为出发时间Pick-up from hotels in Yongding district only; Wulingyuan, the West Railway Station and the airport are outside the zone
一天,细到每一分钟
9 个停靠点Local time (GMT+8). Departures move earlier in high season to beat the cable-car queue.
Pick-up in Yongding district接送
Outside the zone, meet at the cable-car base on Dayong Road. On public holidays the start can move to 06:00
Up by cable car景点
About 28 minutes over a 742 m rise, crossing rooftops, the railway and the valley. Sit facing in if heights bother you
West line: Guigu cliff path景点
The walkway is pinned to a thousand-metre cliff and disappears into cloud in wet weather. Then the glass walkway — 60 m long, 1,430 m up, shoe covers ¥5
Yunmeng summit and the old-growth top景点
The high point, looking down on the 99 bends of the Tongtian road. The summit runs 6–8 °C cooler than town, with wind
Lunch (own expense)用餐
Simple food and snacks at the top, all pricey; bringing your own and eating on the terrace works better
Escalators down through the mountain景点
Seven flights bored through the rock (¥32, own expense), emerging at the gate plaza
Heaven’s Gate and the 999 steps景点
The highest natural arch of its kind — 131.5 m tall and 57 m wide. Walk the 999 steps to the plaza, or take the escalator
Down by the express cableway车程
Line A goes up by cable car and down by the express link; Line B reverses it; Line C uses the express link both ways, best for vertigo or motion sickness
Drop-off at your hotel返程
The finish shifts with the start time, earlier or later on holidays
坐高铁前来
高速铁路这条路线的起点与终点都在张家界。多数旅客从Zhangjiajie West Railway Station抵达——接送集合点离出口只有一小段出租车或地铁的距离,行程结束后也来得及坐晚上的火车。如果你从别的城市过来,可以先查直达高铁,以及首班与末班的时间。
进与出
依路线而异What’s included
- Tianmen Mountain ticket (¥288 combination, including both cableways and shuttles)
- Mandarin-speaking guide
- Hotel pick-up and drop-off in Yongding district
Not included
- Mountain escalators ¥32 and glass-walkway shoe covers ¥5
- Summit mini cable car ¥25
- Lunch
- Personal expenses and gratuities
- Entry is by timed, ID-linked reservation. In high season (April–October) book three to seven days ahead on the official platform — same-day tickets do not exist.
- Line A (cable car up, express down) is the classic; Line B queues less; Line C, express both ways, suits anyone uneasy with heights or prone to motion sickness.
- The glass walkway closes when snow or ice makes it unsafe, with no refund from the park. Check the weather before booking.
- The summit is 6–8 °C cooler and windy — a light jacket even in summer. The day is mostly walking, so wear shoes with grip.
- In peak season the downhill cable car queue is long; the guide collects the queue number early, which means some sections are self-guided. That is queue management, not abandonment.
Cable car and escalators remove most of the climbing, so older parents are fine. The glass walkway and the 999 steps are the two things to skip with small children or vertigo.

旅客怎么说
54,289 条评价Take route A: 28 minutes of cable car straight from town, then the park shuttle up the switchbacks to Heaven's Gate square. From there it is stairs or escalators through the arch.
Route A is the one. The arch seen from the square below, with the stairway running up to it, is the photo everyone comes for — and it delivers.
