After waking across the narrow and rugged walking paths, you can get on a cable car and within seconds find yourself right under the clouds. When you step onto the glass skywalk, which is 430 meters long, you will not believe that there is a 300 meters drop.

However, this does not necessarily mean that it is not worth a visit. On the contrary, it can be considered as starting to become the most striking points in the province. There is more than 50 kilometers between Tianmen Mountain and Tianzi Mountain, which can be mixed up with each other, are mong other popular spots to visit.
