Tianmen Mountain Cable Car, Cable car system in Zhangjiajie, China.
Tianmen Mountain Cable Car is an aerial tramway system that carries visitors up through mountain terrain toward a high peak. The installation includes multiple support structures and safety stations positioned along the cable route.
The system was built to improve access to Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park and make the ascent easier for visitors. Its construction marked a turning point in opening this area to tourism.
The journey takes visitors to a mountain peak that holds special meaning in traditional Chinese stories about a natural gateway between earth and heaven. This place draws people who connect with these ancient tales and the spiritual significance of the landscape.
The best experience happens in clear weather when you can see the surrounding mountain landscape from the cable car. Check weather conditions before your visit and wear comfortable shoes, as the peak can be windy.
The route climbs an extremely steep slope and ranks among the most dramatic cable car systems in the country. This sharp angle lets passengers travel over nearly vertical rock faces while experiencing the sensation of great height.

Cable cars connect people with mountain peaks, city neighborhoods and river valleys around the world. These transport systems offer views of natural landscapes and urban settings during the journey. Some feature rotating cabins that turn during transit, while others stand out through technical features like their length or height. This collection brings together cable cars at well-known locations: Table Mountain in Cape Town offers views over the South African coast, while Sugarloaf Mountain in Rio de Janeiro defines the city's skyline. The Peak 2 Peak in British Columbia connects two mountains without support towers, and the Rotair cable car at Titlis in Switzerland rotates with its passengers. These systems also open access to less visited places like the mountains of Zhangjiajie in China or the hills of Ba Na in Vietnam. From New York to Medellin, these cable cars show how people traverse steep terrain and experience their landscapes differently. They link city centers with viewpoints and make places accessible that would otherwise be difficult to reach. Each journey gives travelers a new perspective on the geography around them.
