We went up Tiananmen mountain by taking a 30 minute cable car ride up up and up. Although the morning started off cloudy and you couldn’t see much, the day cleared up to give some amazing shots. We took escalators through the mountain to see the gate of heaven. It was quite breathtaking. The size of this mountain blew my mind. It makes a lot of sense that they thought they were going to enter heaven here. When the light hit it, it just glowed. The history is that this mountain was discovered with the hole and the xplorers believed this point to be where heaven met earth, which is understandable.
