Heaven’s Gate On Tianmen Mountain, Big Gate Road | China Vlog_12
The magical, majestic, Heaven’s Gate China on Tianmen Mountain. It’s not just the mountain itself that is an experience. Getting up is one thing but getting down is actually considered to be one of the most dangerous experiences in China on Big Gate Road.
You can only use the cable car up or down. You can’t use it both ways. That made me wonder -how the hell do u get down.
This cable car from Zhangiagie City to Tianmen Mountain is the longest in the world and has 98 cars and a total length of 7,455 m . The highest gradient is of the cable 37 degrees.
The word Tianmen means Heaven’s Gate. At the top, the main attraction is Tianmen cave, a natural arch in the mountain 131.5 m high.
Believe it or not, skydivers have flown through the cave and even fighter jets.
There are surprisingly many other attractions up the mountain not just heavens gate. Even another glass bridge.
Nine is a lucky number in Chinese numerology, There are around 999 steps to get down, considered a stairway to heavens . Or in this case a stairway out of heaven. Two words come to mind- very steep.
With 99 curves, Tongtian Highway is considered to be one of China’s most dangerous roads. I didn’t actually know this at the time…

Wow that’s so high up… you inspire me to go there. But between me and you there’s no way I’m going there. Loved your video both humorous and informative. You have guts!
Amazing country👍
I would have thrown up 99 times on the way down.

NICE VIDEO
LOVE FROM INDIA
Your response was soooo funny. I promise I enjoyed it with you
He said “The rails stop sometimes”😂 He’s like damn that’s life line and you MF’s thought it was a good idea to stop it from time to time😂😂😂
In October 2017, I completed the walk up to the top by a combination of walking, escalators & elevators and the only way down was by a cable car 🚠. It was breathtaking both going up & coming down. I highly recommend doing both but only on a clear sunny dry day (safety).
The steps ruin it
Cool video thanks for sharing bro
Most dangerous road 😂🤣 come to kashi you will surely see hell
One place in the world 🌎 I can’t and will never visite 😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫, I feel dizzy 😵 just watching .
Rare places TQ for the video. Feedback: editing and background score needed a lot to make this raw diamond
Walked it in 25min, forgot my water so made my wife go back and get it.
Excellent movie spoilt by the laungage used by the presenter

I'm glad you went and we can see it, because there's no way I'm doing it, I felt the same way on a tour bus to a mountain resort in Mexico, precipitous drop offs from modestly maintained winding roads!! Scary!!

0:40 "You can only use the cable car up and down. You can't use it both ways. That makes me wonder how do we get down" < What does that even mean?
3:16😂😂😂 It's true but sounded funny the way you said it
999 is 666 , and its a door to "heaven" 😒 Interesting , the Chinese are evil demons, that's why they have no human rights levitation there .
Amazing bro
