Zhangjiajie Tours
Avatar Mountains — China’s Most Surreal Landscape
Explore Zhangjiajie
Zhangjiajie is a landscape so otherworldly it inspired the floating Hallelujah Mountains in James Cameron’s Avatar. Thousands of quartz-sandstone pillars rise like skyscrapers from mist-filled valleys, connected by vertigo-inducing glass bridges and cliff-hanging walkways. This UNESCO-listed wonderland in Hunan province is like nowhere else on Earth — a place where nature’s imagination ran wild.
Our private Zhangjiajie tours take you deep into this surreal landscape. Walk the famous Glass Bridge suspended 300 meters above Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon, ride the Bailong Elevator — the world’s tallest outdoor lift — up a sheer cliff face, hike the Avatar Mountain scenic area in Yuanjiajie, and descend into Tianmen Mountain’s Heaven’s Gate via the winding 99-Bend Road. Every viewpoint here defies belief.
