Favorite place in China - Zhangjiajie
Went to Zhangjiajie to see the Avatar Mountains and we had really high expectations but honestly it was even better than imagined! The landscape is beautiful and the park is huge! I would suggest spending at least 2 days in the park!
We also got the unlimited cable pass which was really nice because it saved us time but also the views from the elevator and cable are incredible!

The Qiankun column, which was brought to the fire by Avatar, is also the biggest highlight of this trip. The top vegetation is lush and the peak shape is peculiar. Because it has the topography, it is called the Qiankun column.
Hollywood photographer Hansen conducted a four-day location filming in Zhangjiajie. A large number of landscape images later became the prototype of the various elements of Pandora Planet in the American sci-fi blockbuster Avatar, among which "Nantianyizhu" The picture becomes the prototype of the "Hallelujah Mountain", the suspended mountain.
"Nantian Yizhu" is one of Zhangjiajie's "Three Thousands of Qifeng", located at the southern end of Yuanjiajie Scenic Spot, Wulingyuan Scenic Spot, World Natural Heritage Site. It has an altitude of 1074 meters and a vertical height of about 150 meters. The top vegetation is lush. The shape of the peak body is peculiar, and the vertical joint cutting is obvious. It is like a knife and axe. It stands in Zhangjiajie and has the potential to stand on the ground.
