2025 Tianmenshan Cableway/Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

Tianmenshan located in Zhangjiajie town. I recommend for a whole day trip. I booked a hotel near Tianmenshan cable car station which was very comfortable, just 10minutes walked to cable car. We previously booked a route A trip, 7.30-8.00am, from trip.com about 2-3 weeks before. Very convenient. It began from a long cable car to upper station and then walked along west cliffside path to Tianmen mountain temple. The view of the cliffside path was very great and the morning weather was the best. Then we took a chairlift down to upper station again which we took a break for lunch. In the afternoon we reached the Tianmen. We decided for walk down the 999-step stair with a breataking view. and the went down the cable car to the town. We took time for a whole trip about 6-7hours. I was very impressive traveling here. We highly recommend. #travel #china #tianmenshan #zhangjiajie

Going to the Tianmenshan in the winter is a choice not a must because it's very cold and if you're not lucky maybe the place will be close if the weather not good. But believe me, the scenery mountain with the snow is very beautiful and different than other weather. The escalator during snow is free 🤑 Tips: 1. buy ticket in advance for sure you can entry the travel place 2. You can use anti slip to avoid slip in the snow because it's very slippery 3. Make sure you wear suitable clothes to protect yout body #tianmen #tianmenmountain #tianmenshan

There are some small and clever morning markets in the center of Zhangjiajie. If you want to feel the atmosphere of fireworks! You must go. There are many snacks at the morning market. The taste is different from what you usually eat. It is not very sweet but very chewy! I also had Teppanyaki, which was stir-fried with 🥚 🥩 vegetables and enoki mushrooms as the main ingredients. It was delicious and very similar to the Taiwanese stir-fry! It can be paired with a full bowl of rice, it's really good #美食
