A stunningly beautiful UNESCO World Heritage Site with unearthly landscapes. By the way, the movie “Avatar” was filmed here – namely the scenes when the main characters flew on birds of prey among the rocks.
The average height of these rock pillars is about 800 m, although there are some that reach three kilometers.
The natural park is located 32 km from the city of the same name in Hunan Province. Initially, “Zhangjiajie” was created as a reserve for the preservation and protection of animals and plants. But soon it entered the top three most popular tourist destinations in China.
The park has many hiking trails for every taste and level of training, there are observation decks with glass floors, a cable car. If you are lucky enough to get to the park during the fog, you will see a fantastic sight: how rocks with green caps rush upward from the whitish haze.
It is unrealistic to see the entire park in a day, I advise you to stay here for at least a couple of days. You can stay in the village of the same name, where there are many hotels with good conditions and food.
A ticket to the park costs about 245 yuan for two days. It is easy to get here from anywhere in China: there is an airport in the city of Zhangjiajie, and buses regularly depart from the stations of nearby settlements.
