Real experiences from real travelers
The cable car ride alone is worth the money. It goes on forever! The glass walk was scary at first but so cool. We booked Line A and it was definitely the best way to go up.
Heaven's Gate is massive in person. Photos don't do it justice. The 999 steps are a workout, but you can take the escalator if you're tired. Booking online saved us a huge headache at the ticket office.
The scenery is out of this world. However, be prepared for crowds, even in the off-season. The queue for the return cable car was long, but organized.
Everything went smoothly with the mobile ticket. The mountain top is huge with lots of walking paths. Wear warm clothes, it's much colder up there!
We were confused about Line A vs B, but the support team explained it perfectly. The glass bridge is thrilling. Highly recommend getting there early in the morning.
We couldn't see far because of the mist, but it added a mystical vibe to the 'Avatar' mountains. The glass walk was still terrifying!
Very well organized park. The escalators inside the mountain are an engineering marvel. A must-do in China.
The bus ride on the 99 bends road was almost as crazy as the glass walk. Loved every minute. Don't forget your passport!
Everything you need to know for your journey
Line A takes the Cable Car UP and Bus/Ropeway DOWN (most recommended). Line B takes the Bus/Ropeway UP and Cable Car DOWN. Line C uses the Bus/Ropeway for both ways (no main cable car).
The lower cable car station is located in Zhangjiajie city center, very close to the train station and bus station. It is easily accessible by taxi or city bus.
Access to the mountain is included, but there is a small fee (5 CNY) for the mandatory shoe covers to walk on the glass sections, payable in cash on site.
Most visitors spend 5 to 7 hours to complete the full loop, including the cable car ride, cliff walks, and Heaven's Gate.
Yes! You can skip the Glass Skywalk sections; there are standard concrete paths available. However, the cable car ride itself is quite high.
Yes, you MUST bring your original passport. It is required for ticket redemption and entry at the gate.
Yes, there are snack stalls and a restaurant near Tianmen Temple at the summit, but prices are higher than in the city.
The mountain is open in rain and fog. Fog can actually create a mystical atmosphere ('Cloud Sea'), though visibility may be reduced. The Glass Skywalk may close in snow/ice.
Yes, there are clean restrooms located at the cable car stations, Tianmen Temple, and near the escalator entrances.
No. There is a series of escalators inside the mountain that run parallel to the stairs, allowing you to bypass the climb for a small fee or included in some tickets.
Generally 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM, though hours can vary by season. Last entry is usually around 4:00 PM.
The shoe covers cost 5 CNY (approx $0.70 USD) per person and must be paid in cash at the entrance to the glass walkway.
