This is the gateway to heaven, created by the ancient natural power. People climbed a hundred stairs, just to get closer to their faith.

This natural formation is located in Tianmen, which is the highest mountain in Zhangjiajie. With an altitude of 4980 feet (1518 meters), Tianmen has been a site of wonder for the Chinese for thousands of years.

Due to the high altitude of Tianmen, the sunrise on the mountain occurs 30 minutes earlier in comparison with the surrounding cities. Because also the sunset happens later, up to 45 minutes, “Tianmen is known as an endless sky without darkness.”
