What are the attractions in Tianmen Mountain?

Tianmen Mountain includes Guigu Plank Road, Tongtian Avenue, Biye Yaotai, Xianxian Wonderland, Tianmenshan Temple, Qiuer Cave, Cherry Bay, Guigu Cave and other attractions.

Guigu Plank Road

Guigu Plank Road is located in the Wonderland Scenic Area. It is named after the cliff hanging above the Guigu Cave. The total length of the plank road is 1,600 meters, with an average altitude of 1,400 meters. It starts from Yihong Pass and ends at Xiaotianmen. Different from other plank roads, the entire Guigu Plank Road is neither on the top of the cliff nor on the side of the cliff. Instead, the entire line stands in the middle of the cliff, giving people the feeling of bending and stretching along with the ups and downs of the cliff.

Standing on the plank road and overlooking the mountains, the ancients felt like they would be at the top of the mountain and see all the small mountains at a glance. Since Tianmen Mountain is a national forest park with extremely rich vegetation and typical karst landforms, on this plank road you can feel like flying in a helicopter over a tropical rainforest grand canyon, which is usually only seen in movies. The scenes you see here can make you immersed in them.

Tongtian Avenue

Tianmen Cave has become the gateway to the sky in people's hearts because of its grounding to the sky, and the winding mountain road leading to Tianmen Cave is also called "Tongtian Avenue". What's even more amazing is that when the highway was completed, people were surprised to find that this road to the sky, which was built along the mountain, had exactly ninety-nine turns, which coincided with the meaning of "the sky has nine levels and the clouds have nine sky". ?Tongtian Avenue starts from the sign gate when entering the mountain and goes all the way to Tongtian Avenue at the foot of Tianmen Cave. The total length is 10.77 kilometers. However, in such a short distance, its altitude rises sharply from 200 meters. At 1,300 meters, there are thousands of cliffs on both sides of the avenue, deep hollows, and 180-degree sharp bends that disappear one after another, layer upon layer. "It can be called the best highway spectacle in the world." Mr. Shen Peng, executive vice president of the Chinese Calligraphy Association, happily inscribed "Tongtian Avenue" after walking through Tongtian Avenue. The strong and straight handwriting blends in with the unique world of Tongtian Avenue. The construction of Tongtian Avenue began in 1998. Due to the unique geology and climate limitations of Tianmen Mountain, it was fully completed in 2005. It took eight years and cost a total of RMB 100 million. The entire project is full of hardships and hardships. It embodies the wisdom and hard work of all the construction workers. It is thrilling and soul-stirring. It winds and twists through the natural dangers of the mountain cliffs, making it the first highway wonder in the world.

Biye Yaotai Scenic Area

As a national forest park, there is a complete virgin forest on the top of Tianmen Mountain, and the core protection zone of the original forest is in Biye Yaotai Scenic Area. Here, strange stones covered with moss can be seen everywhere, and rare tree species and precious medicinal materials are also found from time to time. The entire scenic spot is like a large natural bonsai. Visitors can enjoy the fun of nature while walking on the winding road. ?Biye Yaotai Scenic Area, located in the east of the top of the mountain, features natural scenery and has more than 20 attractions. It is the one with the most attractions among the four major scenic spots in Tianmen Mountain.

Mixian Wonderland Scenic Area

Mixian Wonderland Scenic Area, located in the west of the top of the mountain, is the birthplace of Tianmen Mountain’s “hermit culture” and “fairy mountain culture”.

Gui Guzi, this prodigy between humans and immortals in Chinese history, lives in seclusion, practices and teaches disciples in Guigu Cave on the cliff of the Wonderland Scenic Spot. He is a member of the Tianmen Mountain Hermit Sect. Representative figures. The warriors who bravely broke into Guigu Cave accidentally photographed the "Guigu Image" on the stone wall inside the cave. It is similar to the widely circulated Guiguzi head in the world, and it has become another unsolvable mystery of Tianmen Mountain. ?Emperor Shennong and his rain master Chi Songzi also left various relics and legends here. Tianmen Academy, which once trained two Hanlin scholars, is also a cultural holy place on Tianmen Mountain.
