There are 999 steps in the Stairway to Heaven. It is the only way to reach Tianmen Cave and is also a spiritual place for making wishes and praying. There is a Tianmen altar in front of it, which is specially used for burning incense and worshiping heaven. There are five gentle and four steep ladders in total, which correspond to the meaning of nine and nine, revealing the ups and downs of life and the truth that success can only be achieved after going through ups and downs. There are five platforms on the left and right sides of the ladder to heaven. These five platforms are called “Youyu”, “Qinse”, “Eternal Life”, “Qingyun” and “Ruyi” respectively, which represent wealth, happiness, longevity, wealth and blessing respectively. . At the top of the ladder to heaven, there is a “threshold of heaven” guarded by two “auspicious beasts of the heavenly gate”. If you step over it, you will “step into the blue clouds”.
