Tianmenshan cableway

Tianmenshan cableway is 7455 m long, and 1279 m height. It is one of the world's longest high mountain cableway, connecting Zhangjiajie city center and Tianmenshan sky gardens together in a speed of 6 meters per second. What can you feel in 28 minutes? I can tell you what I had saw on March 10, from the colorful city to the woods of jade trees Hanging Garden. This whole process is very exciting, but relies on luck, and I was very luck this time.


The starting point of Tianmenshan cableway station is in the Zhangjiajie city center, and end at the main peak of Tianmenshan, 1518 m above sea level. The starting point has an elevation of 165 meters, and the end point is 1438 meters above sea level. This one thousand meters altitude difference brings you two different worlds.

The cableway passes through over the city, at the foot of which is the bustling streets.

The top of the hill was another world.
