🌨️Tianmen Mountain Winter Snow Record｜The Happy Snow-Watching Home for Southerners

🌨️This winter, you must go to Tianmen Mountain to see the snow. Personally tested, the snowy wonderland after the snow is 10 times more beautiful than the pictures! Cliff rime, ice hanging at Tianmen Cave, here’s the essential guide, even beginners can easily take great photos✨

🌟Post-snow exclusive scenic list

- ✔️Tianmen Cave: The 999 steps are covered in white snow forming a "Heavenly Ladder," the "Tianmen Exhaling Mist" with clouds flowing out of the cave is a unique sight. When the sun shines through the cave after the snow, every shot is wallpaper-worthy.

- ✔️Guigu Plank Road: The rime corridor on the cliff is breathtakingly beautiful, one side is a snow-covered cliff, the other side is a valley with rolling sea of clouds, endless photo opportunities.

- ✔️Yunmeng Fairy Peak: The highest point of Tianmen Mountain, after snow you can overlook the entire "snow forest and sea of clouds." At sunrise, the rime glows golden, romantically heart-stirring.

- ✔️Glass Plank Road: Underfoot is a vast white snowy valley, the plank road is covered with thin ice, thrilling and photogenic, holding the railing makes walking safer.

🚩Route & Transportation Pitfall Guide

- ✔️Choose Route A for sure: Cable car up the mountain (28 minutes through clouds to enjoy snow) → West Line Glass Plank Road → Yunmeng Fairy Peak → Mountain escalator to Tianmen Cave → Environmental bus down, no detours, saves energy and sees more sights.

- ✔️Major transport: Take high-speed train to Zhangjiajie West Station, then 20-minute taxi to the visitor center. Mountain roads can ice over in winter, do not drive yourself.

- ✔️Time-saving tip: For Route A, book the 7-8 AM early shift to avoid crowds and grab the best spots.

📸Photo Tips for Great Shots

✅ Spot: At Tianmen Cave Plaza, find stone stools for low-angle shots (zoom in 2x on phone to avoid crowds), overlook the 99 bends snowy road from Panlong Cliff for great depth.

✅ Outfit: Choose 350g+ waterproof down jacket in red/yellow to stand out instantly against pure white snow, maximize photo layering.

✅ Technique: Friends squat low for upward shots, capture natural walking poses, rime as background acts like a built-in filter.

❗️Winter Survival Tips

1. Essential gear: Waterproof touchscreen gloves, anti-slip snow boots + crampons (10-15 RMB/pair in the park), hand warmers and phone warmers to prevent power loss.

2. Book tickets online 1 day in advance: Ticket + cable car combo about 278 RMB, half price for students, buying on site is more expensive and may be sold out.

3. Safety first: Icy steps are very slippery, "look at scenery don’t walk, walk don’t look at scenery," don’t expose food to avoid monkey theft.

4. Best time: Late December to mid-February.

The snow-watching dream of southern kids, Tianmen Mountain really delivers! The shock of snow-covered peaks can only be understood by going there.
