On the Tianmen Mountain side, the experience is fantastic with its towering mountains and the walk on the glass walkway on the cliffside. The feeling of flying above the ground is extreme, not to mention the breathtaking mountain views. A cable car takes visitors from the city center to the top of the mountain. They will then admire the Tianmen Cave and the pretty winding road below. The more adventurous can climb the 999 steps to Tianmen's Cave, the Heaven's Gate Cave.

The view of the mysterious Tianzi Mountain will make visitors dream. In this part of the park, travelers will have the chance to enjoy the scenery surrounded by a sea of clouds. Early risers will surely be able to watch the sunrise over the mountain at the Grand Sightseeing Platform. Hiking along the Tranquil Golden Whip Stream is a must in the park. Indeed, this hike is about 3 hours along the stream, and one can appreciate the park's different beauties. Wild monkeys can be met while listening to birds singing along the way.

The old house area is famous for travelers who want to venture off the park's beaten path. It is a photographer's paradise because of the magnificence of the landscape. The highlight of this region is the sky field garden—a small area of paddy fields seemingly hanging on an outcrop surrounded by the sanctuary's typical peaks. Local ethnic people farm these paddy fields. ◄
