Mount Tianzi
Mount Tianzi, in western Hunan, is is located in the north of the Wulingyuan area, bordering Zhangjiajie to the south and Suoxiyu to the east and covers an area of 93 sq km. The highest peak is Tianzi Peak which has an elevation of 1,262.5 meters provides stunning views of the surrounding mountains and valleys.
Tianzishan is known for 4 natural spectacles - the clouds of mist that circle the peaks of the mountain, the amazing views of the rising sun, the moonlit nights and snowcapped winter peaks. Waterfalls, bridges, stone forests and caves are found throughout the mountains. Taking in the view there, one can see solitary and clustering mountains among the clouds mid mist.
6 tourist areas have been built to accommodate visitors and they include more than 80 natural platforms to take in the magnificent scenery. Visitors can also reach the peaks of the mountain by cable car.
The new cableway on Mt. Tianzi is new and is 2,084 meters long. As the cable car runs across the dizzying peaks, passengers get a full view of the spectacular landscape that cannot be enjoyed any other way. Despite the new cableway's presence, there are still mountain-climbers struggling to reach the top of Mt. Tianzi. Sedan-chairs can also be seen among them.
