Zhangjiajie Tour 4th part; Cable Car to Tianmen Mountain

How to go to Tianmen Mountain Glass Sky Walk;
Tianmen Mountain Car is just above the Zhangjiajie train station. From Zhangjiajie train station, follow the cable above which is around less than 1km away from Exit. Entrance fee is 228CNY ($37) (Off-peak season rate). This admission fee includes entrance ticket, Cable car round trip, tourist bus and insurance. Separate admission of 5CNY for glass skywalk. Photography and video taking is permitted, tripod not allowed.

Tianmen Mountain Glass Walkway is part of the cliff-hanging walkway, and is the highest section. The “sky walk” is 60 meters long, with a width of 1.6 meters. It gives a thrilling feeling like walking in the sky. It is definitely not suitable for the fainted heart. It is interesting to see people (scared of the height) leaning against the cliff as they cross it. On foggy days, it is easier to walk across as you can see nothing below, however the thrilling feature of the walkway is lost. If it rains the day before, there is usually heavy fog at the mountain top.
