The Guigu Plank Road is a famous spot of Tianmen Mountain in Zhangjiajie. It is famous for its hanging along the cliff line of the Ghost Cave. The length of the path is 1600m with an average elevation of 1400m. The path starts from Yihong pass and ends at small Tianmen Gate.

Standing on the Guigu Plank Road to overlook the mountains, you will get a bird's-eye view of the Tianmen Mountain.

Closing you eyes with heart’s beating and opened arms, you will experience a most wonderful and exciting ‘natural SPA’.
If it is before or after raining, the path will be full of mist and cloud, just like walking in a fairyland.
