“The Heavenly Gate of China”

#chinatravel Iconic Icon — Tianmen Mountain The most iconic feature of Tianmen Mountain is Tianmen Cave, also called Heaven’s Gate — a massive, naturally formed rock arch in the cliff face. It’s about 131 meters high, 57 meters wide, and looks like a giant doorway leading straight into the sky. This natural “gate” inspired the mountain’s name and is a symbol of awe and spiritual wonder. Pilgrims, adventurers, and tourists visit to see this amazing opening and to climb the 999-step Stairway to Heaven that leads right up to it.
