Zhangjiajie is a huge park in Hunan renowned for its bizarre pillar-like mountains. Said to have inspired the floating Hallelujah Mountains in the film Avatar, the peaks of Zhangjiajie, although they don't fly, are even more incredible for being real. The 'floating mountain' effect can be seen when it's foggy and only the peaks rise above the clouds. It was hot and sunny when I was there, so I didn't see this view, but it was beautiful all the same. Some areas, around infrastructure like the glass elevator, the cable car, and so on, can be very crowded, but there is also an impressive network of trails and it's possible to do some good hiking whilst avoiding both the crowds and modern development. Few other people bother climbing hundreds of steps when there's a lift 😆 Be sure to carry enough water if hiking and watch out for the monkeys, which are very good at stealing food.🐒 #leaveyourmark #urbanexplorer #lightthecity #zhangjiajie #hunan #china #mountains #hiking #landscapes #naturalwonders

Here comes the very famous mountain that went to inspire to make Avatar movie. Yes, the hanging mountains are conceived by the look of these tall mountains amidst the clouds. We took the flight to Zhangjiajie and headed on to Zhangjiajie national forest park. We hiked all the way up, to make it worthy. And it didn't disappoint us. This place is full of UNESCO heritage sites, and has 5A ratings. The next day we went to the world famous glass bridge, where you feel like walking over the clouds. P.S. If you're afraid of heights, better to avoid this ! It is usually super crowded, so plan it off the season/weekdays if you can. The following day, we get to see the door to heaven; yea, that's what is said about the 天门山 (Tianmen shan) entrance. This entrance truly has that spiritual look and feel. Btw, looking forward to next avatar movie already haha #urbanexplorer #leaveyourmark #avatarfloatingmountains #unescoworldheritage #urbanexplorer

Our spirit animal; a cheeky monkey spotted in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park - Wulingyuan Scenic Area. In Northern Hunan Province, Zhangjiajie is said to be the inspiration for the landscape seen in James Cameron’s “Avatar”, and it’s easy to see why he felt so inspired by thousands of cliff mountains! ⠀ 📍Wulingyuan Scenic Area, Zhangjiajie, Hunan Province, China⠀ #leaveyourmark
