Tianmen Mountain Glass Skywalk
天门山玻璃栈道
A transparent glass walkway clinging to a 1,400-meter cliff on Tianmen Mountain, with a deep gorge right beneath your feet. It is one of Zhangjiajie's most thrilling photo spots.
On the summit of Tianmen Mountain there are two glass walkways, the East Line and the West Line. Both are built on the outer face of a cliff at about 1,400 m above sea level, and beneath the transparent glass floor lies a drop of several hundred meters. The East Line glass walkway is about 60 m long, connects to the Ghost Valley Walkway, and is the most popular section. From the West Line glass walkway you can look out over Zhangjiajie city. Shoe covers are required to enter (about 5 yuan). The glass walkways are on the summit loop trail, and the entry is included in the Tianmen Mountain ticket. Lines are long in peak season, so it is best to do the East Line first, then the West Line. The full route takes about 1 to 1.5 hours. Visitors afraid of heights can take the standard walkway alongside. The walkways may close in rain, snow, or icy weather.
