The “Heaven’s Gate” in China is one of the country's tourist destination, which is built on top of a mountain in Taianmen. The Tianmen mountain is with a height of 1518.6 meters. The is where the "Heaven's Gate" is seated. 

The "Heaven's Gate" is constructed on a seventeen-century-old cave. The stairway, consists of 999 steps. It beat the St Helena’s notorious Jacob’s Ladder that has 'only' 699 and the steps rises at 45 degrees.

Due to its height, it is always covered by mist. This makes it difficult to tell where it begins and where it ends.

To get to the Heaven’s Gate, the adventure begins with a ride in the world’s longest monorail Skyram. The ride spans 7.5 kilometres from the city Centre. It is followed by a scary bus ride up the 11.3km Tianmen Mountain Road (referred to as the “Dragon Road”). It also has 99 hairpin bends.
And this is where they convinced Ho-Pin Tung - a car race driver - to drive the new Range Rover Sport PHEV to. 

During the ride, the Rover made a dizzying 99 turns and 999 daunting steps.

And did he succeed to reach the peak known as the “Heaven’s Gate”? 
Yes, he did.

Indeed, cars are meant to drive on roads. Some are built to drive on treacherous ones. None, however, are meant to climb, yes climb, stairs, especially deadly steep stairs.

 And Range as just proved to the world with the new Range Rover Sport PHEV can do both
