Can You Really Climb Zhangjiajie's "Floating Mountains"? Foreign Netizen Bets 1 Million: Fake!

👉 Standing at the Yuanjiajie Scenic Platform in Zhangjiajie, the "floating mountains"—Hallelujah Mountain (filming location for *Avatar*)—tower majestically amidst swirling clouds, making the colossal rocks appear genuinely suspended in mid-air. Even I doubted it: Can these really be climbed? The answer: Yes! While you can't directly scale the floating peaks, you can traverse cliffside walkways, ride the Bailong Elevator, or even challenge yourself with Tianmen Mountain's 999-step "Stairway to Heaven" to experience their awe up close. 📌 Ultimate Zhangjiajie Travel Guide 🚩 Must-Visit Attractions - **Yuanjiajie**: See the "floating mountains" and cross the "No. 1 Bridge Under Heaven." - **Tianzi Mountain**: Marvel at sea of clouds and peak forests, with cable cars offering panoramic views. - **Golden Whip Stream**: Hike through the gorge and spot wild macaques. - **Tianmen Mountain**: Walk the glass skywalk and conquer the 999-step ascent. - **Yellow Stone Village**: "A trip to Zhangjiajie is wasted without visiting Yellow Stone Village." 🎫 Ticket Reference - Zhangjiajie National Forest Park: ¥228 (4-day pass) - Tianmen Mountain: ¥278 (includes cable car) - Bailong Elevator: ¥65 (one-way) 🚗 Transportation Tips - **High-speed rail**: Changsha → Zhangjiajie West (2.5h), then taxi or shuttle bus. - **Flight**: Zhangjiajie Hehua Airport is close to downtown. - **Within the park**: Free eco-buses; cable cars/elevators require separate fees. ⚠ Important Notes - Bring anti-slip shoes for rainy days; fog may obscure views. - Monkeys may snatch food—avoid feeding them. - Book tickets early during peak season (May–Oct) to skip queues. Verdict: Zhangjiajie's mountains aren’t just convincingly "floating"—you can conquer them too! That foreign netizen who bet 1 million? Time to pay up. 😉
