● Project Implementation and Stage Design:

A Fox Fairy of Tianmen Mountain – the New Story of Woodman Liuhai is unveiled against the background of a valley measuring about 5km in length stretching from the mountain gate of Tianmen Mountain scenic spot to the top of Tianmen Mountain, with altitude difference of 1100m. The main stage is built at the lower end of the valley in the mountain gate; tens of extraordinary mountains alongside the valley as well as the towering Tianmen Cave are the profound background of the main stage. The main stage blends with the valleys, wonderful mountains, forests, streams and waterfalls to form a super-large stage measuring several kilometers in depth and over a thousand meters in width and height difference.

The auditorium and main stage occupy a total area of 19880 m2. The panoramic stage made of glass steel occupies an area of 10000m2, which is transparently bright with lighting effect to form a fantastic scene. The performance areas are divided into five parts: central stage, mankind's world on the left, fox's world on the right, the singing platform in the front left and the live-action of terrace and timber bridge at the back.

The central stage is built on a brook with an inverse ancient tree floating on bubbling stream to form an integral live-action stage together with protruding stone bed. As to the mankind's world on the left, many Tujia wood huts with black tile carved windows and wooden fences are built along the mountains as stage art landscapes. And these simple wood huts are connected with each other to form a distinctive village of western Hunan. In the fox's world on the right, bizarre rocks are built amid forests, and rare flowers and grass are embedded to form a fantastic natural fox paradise. In the singing platform hanging on a hill, more than 100 girls wearing traditional costume, silver adornment and silver bells of Tujia Rthnic Group sing to offer people with wonderful aural enjoyment. The live-action of terrace and timber bridge with rich pastoral characteristics at the back echoes with the village from afar. The whole stage is natural as if it has been standing there for thousands of years at the foot of Tianmen Mountain to tell a legend.

In Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon, the plunging waterfalls, the dense trees, the fresh air, and the mist on the stream make you feel like you are in an otherworldly sort of place. A spring meanders in the canyon, along which are trails built with planks. On the way, you can see the longest and highest glass bridge in the world as well as the karst landform in the north temperate zone. You have to walk for over two hours to visit the canyon, so remember to wear sports shoes and bring some food. You are recommended to start at the top of the canyon and move downhill, the following attractions coming into view successively.

A Strip of Sky & Sky Ladder Plank Road
‘A Strip of Sky’ is a narrow valley through which only one person can pass at a time. The valley is over 765 yards (700 meters) long with a drop of 985 feet (300 meters) from the beginning to the end. After passing through the valley, you will see Sky Ladder Plank Road. This road is very steep and the planks are narrow, making it look like a sky ladder. Walking along it for three minutes, you come to the best place to see the entire ‘A Strip of Sky’.

Southern Red Flag Canal
The canal is 3 feet (1 meter) deep and 3 feet wide, but over 6 miles (10 kilometers) long. It directs the spring from the lofty cliffs. The excavation took local people seven years, and many of them sacrificed their life for it. Thanks to the canal, residents of eight nearby villages have water to drink and irrigate the rice fields.

Tip: There is a skidway made of granite slates among the A Strip of Sky, the Sky Ladder Plank Road, and the Southern Red Flag Canal. It takes you only 3-5 minutes, 20 minutes shorter than walking.

Glass Bridge
Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge, built with 99 sheets of glass, is 470 yards (430 meters) long, 6.6 yards (6 meters) wide and 985 feet (300 meters) high, the longest and highest glass bridge in the world. Unlike the Zhangjiajie Tianmen Mountain Glass Bridge, which is inserted on the mountain side with a height of 4,690 feet (1,430 meters), Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Glass Bridge hangs over a valley. It provides a superb panorama of the entire grand canyon. Standing on it is like floating in the air. Come and have a try if you are brave enough. There is also a rope line nearby, which surely excites your nerves.

Please note that visitors need to book a ticket for the Glass Bridge on its official website at least one day before the visit. Only those who qualify for ticket discounts can buy the ticket on spot. Valid ID certificate like passport is required for purchasing the ticket.

 Some Tips for Walking along the Glass Bridge:

2. High heels are not allowed on the bridge. One can only bring a cell phone with cover and purse while walking on the bridge.
3. Do not run on the bridge or stand against the rail.
4. Those who have heart disease, high blood pressure and acrophobia are not recommended to set feet on the bridge.

Barrel Cliff & Flying Fox Rushing Downhill
The cylindrical cliff is neither chiseled by human nor eroded by waterfalls, and only grasses grow on it with no trees.  Geologists and botanists cannot explain why. Keep moving 10 yards (10 meters), you can see the Flying Fox Rushing Downhill. On the cliff, a big rock gets in the running waterfall’s way and the water forms a rock cover, which looks like a fox rushing downhill.

Pearl Wall & Waterfall of Butterfly Spring
The spring flows slowly downward along the cliff on which lots of plants grow. Then it forms many pearlescent crystal droplets on those plants. Thus the cliff is called Pearl Wall. After two minutes’ walk, the Waterfall of Butterfly Spring comes into view. It flows past trees and lawns, and butterflies dance there every day, giving it its name.

Swallow Cliff
There are thousands of swallow nests on Swallow Cliff. These rock swallows are smaller than ordinary ones and do not nest in houses. Their nests can be cooked and eaten.
At the end of the canyon, there is a reservoir where you need to take a boat. Ducks play on the reservoir, you may also see egrets flying past.
