Take a ride from Zhangjiajie City directly to the top of Tianmen Mountain.
The world's longest cable car, 7455 meters long, passes over the Zhangjiajie National Park, and leads to Tianmen Mountain.
Cutting clouds, the cables sweep over the park, which became the prototype of the fictional planet Pandora from the movie Avatar. A kilometer in height pillar (a hanging mountain in the movie) was even renamed by the authorities in Avatar Hallelujah. Take a ride on the cable car, passing a hanging mountain as if you are na'vi (Pandora resident) mounted a dragon.

The journey over the forests and mountains of Pandora will last 35 minutes until your cabin arrives to the final stop - Tianmen Mountain.
