Conquering Heaven’s Gate

Tianmen National Park, home to the iconic Heaven’s Gate, offers an unforgettable experience, but proper preparation is key. - Start early to avoid crowds and maximize your day exploring this stunning site. - The 99 Bends Road is a must-see, whether you drive or admire it from the world’s longest cable car ride, which offers breathtaking views of the winding path and lush mountains. - Wear sturdy, comfortable shoes to tackle the 999 steps leading to Heaven’s Gate, or opt for the escalator for a less strenuous ascent. - The Glass Skywalk is another highlight—if you’re not afraid of heights, it’s a thrilling way to soak in panoramic views. - Pack snacks and water, as options inside the park are limited, and prepare your camera for one of China’s most photogenic landmarks!
