Located in the
northern part of Wulingyuan Scenic Area in Hunan
Province , Tianzi
Mountain makes up a ''golden
triangle'' along with Zhangjiajie Forest Park and Suoxiyu Valley .
The range undulates 40 kilometers and covers an area of 5400 hectares. The main
peak of Tianzi Mountain dwarfs others and rises 1262.5
meters above sea level. It has a touring line of 45 kilometers, an average
temperature of 12°C ,
an annual waterfall of 1,800 mm ,
a frost-free period of 240 days and a frozen period of 60-80 days. The
landscape in Tianzi Mountain Nature Reserve is natural and primeval.
With pine trees on
the top, the Yu Bi (imperial brushes) Peaks rise upward into the sky. Legend
goes that they are brushes the Tianzi-Xiang Dakun used that became stone peaks
after his martyrdom. The Xian Nv San Hua (floral tributes by fairies) is
slightly opposite the Yu
Bi Peaks .
A legend goes that Xiang Dakun and his army were defeated to fall back on the Tianzi Mountain .
He fought to the finish, but finally jumped off the cliff. A girl in love with
him went across the mountain to search for him. She strewed flowers over the
cliffs and turned into a stone statue. Shen Bing Ju Hui is a forest of
soldier-like peaks arrayed for a review.
The landscape here
varies in different seasons and also in one day, which makes Tianzi Mountain
a very interesting destination. There are four highlights for the breathtaking
sceneries: peak forest, cloud sea, sunrise and winter snow. Cloud and mist in Tianzi Mountain
enjoys high reputation nationwide, especially just after the rain, which adds
much charm to Tianzi
Mountain .
Visitors can take
a cable car to see these charming peaks. With 692 meters' (about 2,270 feet)
difference in elevation, the aerial tramway is 2,084 meters (about 2,279 yards)
in length. The minimum running time is six minutes and twenty-two seconds for a
single trip during which visitors can keep the wonderful scenery of the Tianzi Mountain
in view.
