Tianmen Mountain, with an altitude of 1518.6 meters, is also known as Yunmeng Mountain or Yuping Mountain. It was named after the natural wonder Tianmen Cave. In July 1992, it was approved as a national forest park. Tianmen Mountain has a rich historical and cultural heritage and is known as the "number one sacred mountain in western Hunan" and the "soul of Wuling." It is divided into four scenic areas: Tianmen Cave, Tianjie Foguo, Biye Yaotai, and Mixian Qijing. Tianmen Cave is shrouded in mist all year round, with ever-changing scenery. Sometimes, clouds and mists gush out from the cave, while at other times, rays of light shine through, creating a splendid and magical atmosphere. It is like a hidden world with infinite mysteries. Tianmen Cave not only accumulates the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for thousands of years but also becomes a sacred place for people to pray and make wishes. The ancient temple on the mountaintop, Tianmenshan Temple, once thrived with incense. Climbing the Tianmen Ladder and praying at Tianmen has become one of the ways for people to seek blessings and peace. In addition, one can also experience the magical feeling of flying in the air by riding the Tianmen Mountain Cableway, which is the world's longest high-altitude passenger ropeway.

The Guigu Path is located in the Mi Xian Wonderland Scenic Area. It is a 800-meter-long pathway along the steep cliff of the Guigu Cave, with an average altitude of 1400 meters. What sets it apart from other paths is that it is not on the top or side of the cliff, but it stands straight in the middle of the thousand-foot cliff, providing a thrilling experience of undulating with the cliff’s movements. Of course, the most exciting part is not just walking along the path, but the 5-meter-high glass platform at the highest point and the canyon suspension bridge – also known as the "Sky Road" – hanging above the abyss. This comprehensive challenge for visitors provides a "dare-to-try" experience that makes people feel as though they are flying, with the mountain wind by their side and a thousand-foot abyss below, perfectly captured by the glass platform.
