The Hollow Mountain: Gateway Between Worlds

#chinatravel 🪷 Spiritual & Cultural Significance In Chinese philosophy, particularly Taoism and Buddhism, natural features like mountains, caves, and arches are considered sacred. Tianmen Cave is often seen as: A symbol of the link between Heaven and Earth A spiritual threshold, much like the torii gates in Japan or mountain passes in Tibetan culture A site of pilgrimage and inner reflection The numbers surrounding the site — 999 steps and 99 bends — hold symbolic importance in Chinese culture, representing eternity, heavenly completeness, and luck. #tianmencave #myitinerary #travel #china
