Heaven's Gate


Welcome To Zhangjiajie City, China. About 8KM from downtown of Zhangjiajie lies the Tianmen Mountain, also known as Heaven Gate Mountain. By looking at the picture above, theres no need to understand why this is named Heaven’s Gate. This beautiful site is quite a journey to get to. It’s about a 7 mile hike/climb to get to Heaven’s Gate. But if you make the journey, then you end up to what the Chinese say is the Closest Earth Landmark To God. 7 Miles sound too long for you? Well for those of you who aren’t afraid of heights, they have a cable car that is considered the longest cable ride in the world! A distance of 7455m and as heights as high as 1279m.

The glass path or sky walk is the latest addition to getting to the base of the hole and allows those brave enough to walk it, to see straight down the rugged, edgy mountain side into the gaping abyss below.

  1. Think you'd be down for the glass sky walk? Such a fantastic idea!

  2. Totally! I'd do that Grand Canyon one if it weren't so expensive.
