Take the longest cable way in the world to Tianmen Mountain en-route to Tongtian Avenue. Look down from the cable car; you will see a splendid scene of a road with 99 bends. When you arrive on the top of the mountain, you may then like to take a short cable way to Tianmen Mountain Temple, and then go to the plank road alongside Guigu Cliffs. In this way, you will save much time and energy.
There is a 5-meter-long glass-bottomed platform at the highest point of the plank road. You can stand on the platform to experience that feeling of cliff suspension. Go ahead, the Glass Trail spans 60 meters with 1430 meters above sea level encircling the vertical cliffs. It will take your breath away!

To Finish the skywalk you could hike about 30 minutes from the Glass Trail to Tianmen Cave.

The Tianmen Cave is shrouded in mist and clouds all year around. The beautiful view will vary in different weather; sometimes it covered by clouds, sometimes sunlight glows through the cave.

Go down the hill by shuttle bus, and return downtown. At end of the day, you will be transferred to the airport.
