Wulingyuan was registered as a World Heritage Site in 1992 and is very famous as the model for the movie "Avatar"! It's one of the places you want to visit at least once in your life! It consists of three landscapes: Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, Tianzi Mountain Nature Reserve, and Suoxiyu Nature Reserve. It's so large that one day wasn't enough⛰️ The admission ticket automatically includes a three-day validity period, so if you're staying for a long time, we recommend taking it easy. The Bailong Ladder (elevator) is registered in the Guinness World Records as the world's tallest outdoor elevator🛗 Take a bus from Zhangjiajie city for 2 yuan (40 yen)

#discoverchina A Wulingyuan Scenic Area (or called Wulingyuan Scenic and Historic Interest Area) tour is somewhat traveling outside the earth land. Before coming to Wulingyuan, we held the view that mountains in the world are always fat and huge, and we could never take selfies with an entire mountain. However, things change when it comes to Wulingyuan. The mountains there are split into countless tall, narrow and straight pillars, and you can easily find their border. Some of the pillar tops only allow several small trees to stand. If you stand tall enough, you can even easily squeeze one of the pillars and these small trees into a picture! When James Cameron was looking for inspiration for the alien landscape of “Pandora” depicted in Avatar, he couldn’t move his eyes from these marveling finger-like projections. Finally, he brought these columns into his movie, and thus the mountains of Wulingyuan got their name “Avatar Mountains”. #zhangjiajie

You can get a feel for Chinese culture from the town's atmosphere, buildings, music, etc. If you are quick, you can explore the site in a few hours, but since there are no particular tourist attractions in the area, we recommend taking your time. The site is lively with a screening of the movie "Furong Town," which is set in Furong Town, and street performances. As you can see from the first and second photos, the observation deck overlooking the entire town is a spectacular sight.

You are free to enter and exit. 💰Price per person: 20,000 yen for 1 night and 2 days #Furong Town #furongzhen #china #China #Zhangjiajie #zhangjiajie #Wulingyuan

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck Always a Stone Corner of Zhangjiajie I believe that because of the movie Avatar, everyone wants to see and visit this place. 😌 Is it true that there are tall stone pillars that can stand without falling? Tens of meters high, and many of them are in a valley. Buy tickets and fly to Wulingyuan. It's not as difficult as you think. 🚆High-speed train from Changsha, only 2-3 hours. When you arrive, take a short bus. I guarantee that it's so beautiful that you'll forget to breathe. 🎫For the park entrance ticket, you can enter for up to 3 days. If you want to hike, you can do so here, but please be careful. But if you don't walk inside, there are buses running every now and then. Then you'll fall in love with Avatar Valley💕

If you still can't picture it, this set of images will help you decide‼️ Zhangjiajie Wulingyuan Park is divided into upper and lower parts, connected by a glass elevator or cable car. Both of these routes will take you to the top of the park to see the natural stone pillars. The top area is very wide and divided into two zones, connected by a bus. The first zone after taking the elevator is called the Avatar zone, where you will get a view of the stone pillars from above, looking deep down. In the second zone, you will find the General's Statue, which is the General's Garden zone. The view here is from above, looking far over the stone pillars. Believe me, you should experience it at least once in your life, and you will never forget it👍 🕰️Operating hours: 08:00-17:00 💰Average price per person: 170-250 CNY

Bus is free. Chinese food is expensive, better eat in McDonald’s, Starbucks, Luckin coffee (my opinion). Good time for arrival - 7 a.m.
