  2. Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park
    2h · Admission ticket included
    Your guide will escort you to the lower station of Tianmen Mountain Cableway—the world’s longest alpine passenger cableway (7,455m long, 1,279m vertical drop). Glide comfortably from the city to the mountain forest, with a maximum incline of 42° for an exhilarating ascent. On clear afternoons, the golden sunset spills over karst peaks, turning the landscape into a living masterpiece. Highlight: A record-breaking ride with cutting-edge safety systems and panoramic sky-high views.
    Upon reaching the summit, follow your guide to the iconic Glass Walkway, perched 1,430m above sea level. This 60m-long transparent corridor, paved with tempered glass, rivals the Grand Canyon Skywalk. As dusk falls, walk on “clouds” with blue sky reflections by day or misty magic by night, gazing down at the deep canyon and twinkling city below. Highlight: A thrilling, one-of-a-kind experience blending adrenaline and mountain romance.

Watch 7D light shows dance on the rock face, blending natural grandeur with tech artistry. You’ll have plenty of time to capture photos and feel the sacred aura of this legendary landmark.
