The Heaven's Gate in the Tianmen Mountains

October 10, 2024

In the Chinese Tianmen Mountains lies the 'Heaven's Gate' - one of the tallest natural arches in the world. It was formed in 263 AD after the collapse of a cliff and is located 1,520 meters above sea level. For centuries, the Chinese have attributed mystical significance to this area. The entire mountain leaves an unforgettable impression, and on the way to the arch, you are accompanied by a feeling of tranquility and peace. The mist that envelops the sky gates and the haze around captivates. There are 999 steps leading upward, and legends say that if you take this path to the celestial gates, you will achieve enlightenment and become closer to God. It is also said that somewhere on the mountain lies buried great treasures of the Ming dynasty. The search has not been successful, but many still continue the pursuit of gold.
