If Dingdong Dantes has Amazing Earth on TV ,,, this blog has an Amazing Earth series that will leave you breathless as your jaw drops either of disbelief or a state of shock. Let me remind our readers that the photos are not ours ... so kudos to the person who owns the images. We are just too happy to share them with you ... that man since time immemorial has created a lot of stupefying ideas only a genius can think. They made these ideas happen and we are here to marvel at their beauty ... the time and money spent on it ... and the sleepless nights they spent perfecting their craft.
Structure: Heaven Gate Arch
Location: Tian Men Mountain Yongding District Zhangjiajie China
Year Created: Early in the Ming Dynasty a wooden memorial gate covered in yellow-glazed tiles was built on the present site. Known as the Gate of Receiving Grace from Heaven (Chengtianmen), it burned down and was later rebuilt in 1465 during the reign of the Ming Emperor Xianzong.
Description: Heaven Gate Arch is considered the highest naturally formed arch measuring 130 meters high 55 meters wide and 60 meters in depth. Tourists can ride via cable cars and when they reach the place they can walk kilometers on pathways built on the cliff face. To reach the top of this landmark a tourist worth his salt has to brave 999 steps on the stairway to heaven.
