The road to heaven on Mount Tianmen

This highway is called the Big Gate Road, but the people it is simply called - The road to heaven. And it's not the height to which the roadway rises, and the ease and the number of curled corners. Speaking of height - the road has its origins in the 200 meters above sea level and rises to 1300 meters





The road to heaven in China is the only access road through the mountain of Tianmen. It is surprising that the construction of such a light path only took 8 years.



It is also called the road turns 99, as nine is a lucky number in China, symbolizing the heavens and 9 palaces. If the road is too scares you and you boitespodnimatsya here on the bus - there is an alternative. To the top of the mountain cableway laid a great length of almost 8 kilometers, which is among the longest ropeway of the world.
