5.00The cable car ride is the longest I've ever experienced. It took about 28 minutes to reach the top, and every second was filled with breathtaking views. The Tianmen Cave is massive and impressive. The 999 steps are a challenge but worth it. The ticket was reasonably priced for such a world-class attraction.
A magical heavenly garden in the sky. The cable car ride is a must-do.
