I. Climbing Tianmen Mountain for the first time 1 time, 8 items are not recommended.
Ticket type: B road.
Tianmen Mountain, besides the scenic spots in the mountain, is worth visiting. A key point is its Z-long cableway in Asia. The route of road B is a ropeway for cars to get on and off, but the experience of going down the mountain by ropeway is low. In addition, it is also a very laborious task for you to climb 999 steps up the mountain.
Cableway queuing: after 8 o'clock in peak season
On holidays, people queuing to climb the mountain by cableway will be crowded. Even in many cases, when you arrive at 6 o'clock, you will already see the crowded crowd. If you queue up after 8 o'clock, the experience of going up the mountain today will basically be reduced.
Tour route: West Line → Tianmen
In fact, the scenic spots of Tianmen Mountain are still very rich. If you just swim from the cable car entrance to the glass plank road, then to the Ghost Valley plank road, then to the Tianmen Temple, and then to the Tianmen Puhong, although this route is smooth, you will miss many other landscapes.
Glass plank road: all three.
A major feature of Tianmen Mountain is the glass plank road, which is very exciting and interesting. There are three, but these three are similar. You need to rent a pair of shoe covers made in 5 yuan to tread on. Personally, I don't think it's necessary to leave all three.
Downhill escalator: Go up to Tianmen escalator.
There are two escalators in Tianmen Mountain, one is the mountain escalator in Tianmen Mountain, and the other is the climbing escalator in Tianmen Cave. Personally, I don't think it is necessary to choose the latter. 32 yuan's ticket is actually only one step away, unless your knee is really not very good.
Accommodation recommendation: around the scenic spot
Seriously, Tianmen Mountain is not far from the urban area, so it is not recommended to live around the scenic spot, especially the steamed stuffed bun. The trip will end the next day. After the tour of Tianmen Mountain, people basically stay around the rocks, and the natural landscape is immune.
Gourmet: three-mouthed pot
Sanxiaguo is a local representative dish in Zhangjiajie, but this dish is often not used by mainlanders. The main reason is that the oil is salty, and vegetables mixed with a variety of meat are not very good at absorbing oil. The treasure of the main points must tell less oil and less salt.
Gourmet: bacon
Tujia bacon in Zhangjiajie is really famous, but don't order a plate of bacon, choose some bacon as seasoning, or one or two pieces of salted bacon will ensure that you finish a whole bowl of rice, which is basically difficult to finish.
Second, climb Tianmen Mountain for the first time 1 time, and be confident to do it.
Ticket type: a road
The reason why the ropeway is recommended to climb the mountain is that the total length of the Tianmen Mountain ropeway is 7454 meters, and the height difference of 1277 meters is experienced in 30 minutes, and the local slope is 37 degrees, which is very exciting. It's amazing to take the cableway all the way from Zhangjiajie city to the top of the mountain.
Cableway queuing: before 6 o'clock in peak season
We have the habit of climbing mountains as early as possible. We must climb Tianmen Mountain in the peak season. You must get up as early as possible. You must book tickets online three days in advance. The opening time of the ropeway is 8 o'clock, so you must arrive at 6 o'clock in the peak season so that you can climb the mountain in the morning.
Tour route: first go east, then middle, then go west up the mountain, first visit the glass plank road+Ghost Valley plank road on the west line, then take the small cable car in the middle line to the cable car entrance after arriving at Tianmen Temple, then go to the east line, all the way to Tianmen Cave, then walk down the steps of Tianmen Cave, and then return to the city by car.
Notes on plank road: western plank road
The plank road on the west line of Tianmen Mountain is a representative plank road among the three. It is 60 meters long and 1.6 meters wide, and it is on a cliff at an altitude of 1.430 meters. It's transparent glass, which is visually challenging, but it won't be scary in actual experience.
Small cable car: visit Yunmeng Xianding
It is recommended to take a small cable car. On the one hand, the small cable car belongs to a cable car without a box, and the landscape experience is stronger. Secondly, Yunmeng Xianding is located at a high position, and you can see the panoramic view of Tianmen Mountain, especially the 99 thrilling bends of Qutian Avenue, with excellent vision.
Accommodation recommendation: Zhangjiajie City
Although Zhangjiajie is not a big city, its life of eating, drinking and having fun is very developed. There is no high-speed rail in Zhangjiajie, but the railway station and bus station are in the urban area, and there is an airport nearby. It is recommended to live in the city, which is more selective.
UA cuisine: cold noodles.
The cold noodles in Zhangjiajie are still very good. Coupled with cold noodles with pork bones, mixed with side dishes such as pepper, peanuts and shredded cucumber, it tastes delicious. Whether it is breakfast or other meals, it is very suitable and affordable.
Gourmet: Stewed chicken and duck with stone ears.
You can try this stew. Tremella is a fungus-like plant that grows on a cliff. It is very nutritious. Take it to stew with chickens and ducks. The soup is light yellow and smells delicious. After drinking, it is not only refreshing, but also very enjoyable.
