🏔️ Formation and Legend
Geologists believe Tianmen Cave was formed naturally in 263 AD, when a section of the mountain collapsed due to erosion and gravity.
Over time, wind and rain carved it into the dramatic arch we see today.
In Chinese folklore, the cave is seen as a mystical gateway between the human world and the heavens.
Its sudden appearance in ancient times was considered a divine sign, which is how it earned its name.
