According to historical records: in 1932, American journalist shahelagou, accompanied by the local Uighur guide Usman ahong, visited here. In 1947, the British explorer Shipton went hunting here. This "Tianmen" stands in the shape of "∩" on the Pamirs Plateau, with a width of about 100 meters and a height of more than 500 meters. Its thickness can not be measured. For example, a Tianmen stands in the wilderness and "wants to compare with heaven". Although it is under the blue sky, most of the time it is in the clouds and fog, forming a natural landscape with uncanny workmanship.

On the right wall of Tianmen is a stone cave like a beehive. You can hear the echo when speaking in front of it. The surface of the left wall looks like a mural of various kinds. The surface of the left wall looks like a mural of various kinds. I don't know whether it's artificial or natural. It can be called uncanny craftsmanship! Visitors from the past have taken photos here as a souvenir. Standing in the middle of Tianmen, anyone's words will be echoed here.

There are some difficulties in rock climbing here. The main reason is that the rock weathering is serious, the rock is brittle, and it is easy to peel off and cause accidents. However, in the "lintel" of Tianmen, you can experience the rapid drop, but you can't experience the wonderful feeling elsewhere. Every year, a large number of rock climbers from all over the world come to experience the "Tianmen drop". It's a paradise for tourists and explorers. It is recognized as one of the 20 most worth exploring scenic spots in the world by American Adventure magazine.

On March 26, 2018, the CCTV-10 "geography. China" section of science education channel of CCTV spent half a month in Kezhou to shoot and produce the documentary "gate of heaven".
