Tianmenya

　　    Traveling about 2 kilometers south from Yanziya, you will arrive at Tianmenya, which sits at an elevation of 2,328 meters. Towering peaks rise sharply on either side with a relative height of 80 meters, and in between lies a mountain pass stretching north to south, about 100 meters wide. The Songxing Highway runs along the eastern edge of the pass, while the western side features steep, craggy rocks and lush pine and fir trees.

　　    Standing at the pass and looking southeast, you can see Liu Xiangqian standing tall; looking northwest, you’ll take in the gentle slopes of Taping Village, the flowing Zizhu River, the distinct inner valley within the larger valley, and the faint outline of Shanbao Cave. Tianmenya is known for its strikingly unique peaks, often shrouded in mist and clouds. Snow begins to accumulate here in October and melts by May of the following year. Ever-changing seasonal sights include phenomena such as “Clouds Scattering and Rain Falling,” “Emerald Glow Spitting Pearls,” “Morning Frost on Dragon Boat Festival,” “Mid-Autumn Auspicious Snow,” and the rare appearance of a “Buddha’s Halo.”

　　    Tianmenya sits at an altitude of 2,328 meters and is 12 kilometers from Hongping.

　　    To the southwest, it borders Donggou and Haofang.

　　    To the northeast, it faces Yanziya across the way.
