No guardrails on the outer side, so hold onto the cliff wall while walking ▪️ On sunny days, you can see the entire Zhangjiajie; on cloudy days, it feels like walking through cotton candy ☁️ 📸 **Secret Photo Spots Guide** 🔺 **Tianmen Cave Frame View**: Stand inside the cave to shoot the sea of clouds outside, a natural round frame plus flowing mist = traditional Chinese ink painting style 🔺 **Road Visual Magic**: Use a telephoto lens at the 99 Bends viewing platform to compress space and capture the “Autumn Mountain Drift King” hairpin turn vibe 🔺 **Cable Car Floating Effect**: At dusk, shoot the cable car silhouette against the backlight, with people posing as if floating for a dreamy effect 🍜 **Mountain Energy Supply Stations** ▪️ Near Tianmen Temple, the “Cloudside Convenience Store” offers exclusive wild vegetable pancakes paired with ginger tea to warm you up ▪️ At the mountaintop Cherry Bay Restaurant, try the rock ear mushroom stewed with native chicken—so fresh it’ll blow your mind (reserve 1 day in advance!) ⚠️ **Hard-Earned Tips** ✅ Be sure to choose Route A (cable car up + road down) to avoid long queues ✅ The mountaintop temperature is often 8°C cooler than the city; a light down jacket plus windbreaker is a lifesaver ✅ Bring coins! The glass skywalk shoe covers require a 5 yuan cash deposit (eco-friendly and reusable) “Here, I found the real-life version of the floating mountains from Avatar” 🪐 (Recommended route: cable car up → west line glass skywalk → Tianmen Temple → mountain escalator → Tianmen Cave → road down, total 5-6 hours)
