Common ticket types

  • Routes A/B/C: include return cableway and in-park transfers, differing in direction;
  • Round-trip cableway: cableway up plus cableway down (direction depends on the route);
  • Discount tickets: students, seniors and children get half-price or free entry per policy.

How to choose

  • First visit, core views: Route A is the classic;
  • Fewer queues or off-peak: B/C run the other way with different crowds;
  • With seniors or kids: prefer combos including elevators/escalators to save energy.

Buying tips

  • In peak season reserve by real name and buy for a set entry window;
  • Discount tickets need valid ID checked on site;
  • Check whether the cableway and shuttle are included to avoid double-paying.

FAQ

How many routes are there at Tianmen Mountain? How do I choose A/B/C?
Tianmen Mountain has three routes: Route A (classic) — large cableway up + express cableway down, more spectacular going up, good for a first visit; Route B — express cableway up + large cableway down, good for off-peak and afternoon departures, seeing Tianmen Cave first then the summit; Route C (all express) — express cableway up and down, efficient and convenient, with no large cableway, good for those seeking efficiency or afraid of heights.
What are the differences between Routes A, B and C? Which should I choose?
Route A uses the large cableway up and the express cableway down — the least tiring, best for a first visit; Route B uses the express cableway up and the large cableway down, so you see Tianmen Cave first then the summit, good for avoiding crowds; Route C uses the express cableway both ways with no large cableway at all — the most relaxed. First-time visitors or those with seniors and children should choose A or C.
How do I buy the “Tianmen Fox Fairy” show ticket and the mountain ticket?
They are separate ticket types that must be bought separately: the mountain ticket is for visiting by day, and the show ticket is for the evening performance. If you plan to do both, book each to fit the show time; if you only visit the mountain, a single ticket is enough.
How do I choose seats for the “Tianmen Fox Fairy” show?
For a first visit, Zone A (standard) is recommended — slightly off-center, balancing the full view and stage details at good value; for finer details choose the VIP zone, closer to the stage to see the performers’ expressions and costumes. Families should prefer aisle seats for easy access; Zone B is more affordable.
