Introduction

Zhangjiajie National Forest Park lies in Wulingyuan, Zhangjiajie, Hunan, China — the country's first national forest park and the core of the Wulingyuan UNESCO World Heritage site. Over three thousand quartz-sandstone pillars rise from the earth, often veiled in mist like a fairyland; Golden Whip Stream, Yuanjiajie, Yellow Stone Village and Tianzi Mountain form a connected painting. It inspired the floating mountains in Avatar, blending peaks, gorges, clear streams and Tujia culture — the quintessence of Zhangjiajie's landforms.
