  Begin your day with a delicious breakfast at your hotel before setting out to explore another magnificent national forest park in Zhangjiajie, the Tianmen Mountain.
  
  Take a transfer to the Tianmen Mountain Cable Car, where you'll ascend from the downtown area to the peak of Tianmen Mountain, soaring over 1,400 meters above sea level. Marvel at the stunning panoramic views of the Heaven-linking Avenue as you travel on the world's longest cableway, stretching an impressive 7,455 meters.
  
  Next, board the Forest Sightseeing Cable Car to visit the Tianmen Temple, which originated during the Tang Dynasty. This temple is one of only five Buddhist temples in the world that preserve the Buddha's body relics. Wander through the temple complex and appreciate the unique Qing Dynasty-style Buddhist architecture, surrounded by lush forest.
  
  Brace yourself for two thrilling cliff-side walks that will test your courage. First, step onto the Glass Skywalk, a 60-meter-long and 1.6-meter-wide transparent glass path that sits 1,430 meters above a bottomless valley. Feel the rush of walking in the air on sunny days or through a fairyland on misty, cloudy days. Then, dare to walk along the 1,600-meter-long Ghost-Valley Plank Road, hanging precariously on the cliff's edge.
  
  Take the escalator down from the peak to explore the giant Tianmen Cave, a rare wonder of the world. This cave was formed by natural pressing and collapsing, resulting in a height of 131.5 meters, a width of 57 meters, and a depth of 60 meters. Descend the super-steep 999 staircases, known as "The Stairway to Heaven," which is the only access to Tianmen Cave from the mountain's foot for those seeking spiritual blessings. Finally, take a cable car back down the mountain.
  
  As the day turns to night, savor a delicious dinner (your own arrangement) before witnessing the captivating night view of the 72 Strange Buildings (72 Qilou). The main building, standing tall at 109.9 meters, is the world's highest Tujia ethnic-style stilted structure.
