Riding the cable-car to Tian Men Shan (Heaven's Door Mountain), a national forest park. The cableway, at 7.544 km long, is the longest in the World and requires a traversing time of 30 min. It has a height gap of 1,279 m and an elevation gap of some 37 deg in the second section. The mountain is also accessible by a road called Heaven-linking Avenue and which rises from 200 m to 1,300 and passes 99 bends. From the air, it looks like a flying dragon. The journey up will take about 45 min to an hour.
