🕰️ Geological Formation & History

Tianmen Cave was formed around the year 263 AD, reportedly after a massive cliff collapse created a hole through the mountain.

Over time, natural erosion by wind, rain, and temperature changes widened and shaped the cave into its current form.

The formation of such a large, clean arch in such a high mountain is geologically rare and contributes to its fame.
