Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park is located in Zhangjiajie, about 8 kilometers from the urban district.

It is approved to be National Forest Park in 1992, boasting abundant up-to- 90% vegetation.

On the mountain there are a wealth of rare species of plant. Old trees grow very high to the sky. A 7.2-km long cable car was constructed in the park, which is said to be the longest of the same type in the world.

With profound cultural background, Tianmen Mountain is always considered as the holy mountain by locals.

A 500-year-old Buddhist temple is nestled in the mountain attracting thousands of prayers every year.

Many legends and stories about the mountain were inherited from generation to generation, which are widely spread in the west of Hunan Province.

A railway tunnel with the largest cross sectional area in China was completed Tuesday in the country’s northwest Gansu Province after more than seven years of construction.

Its maximum cross sectional area is 350 square meters, or 2.5 times the size of common railway tunnels, making it the largest ever constructed in China.

The 9,164-meter Xinchengzi tunnel is part of the railway line connecting the province’s capital of Lanzhou with Chongqing Municipality in southwest China.

The complex geological structure on the northeast edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau where the tunnel stands make the excavation work extremely difficult, according to the tunnel’s contractor, China Railway 11th Group Co., Ltd.

The completion of the tunnel will greatly facilitate the operation of the Lanzhou-Chongqing railway line stretching 915 kilometers, said the contractor.

Powerful machines destroy the old road to build new tunnels and roads on this place.

All this happens in a very short time, just a couple of days!
