Introduction

Yuanjiajie lies in Wulingyuan, Zhangjiajie, Hunan, China, a core viewpoint inside Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, famed for dense quartz-sandstone pillars and seas of cloud. The 'Avatar Hallelujah Mountain' was modeled on the Qiankun Pillar (Southern Sky Column) here, a peak rising like a jade spike to the sky. Mihun Terrace, the No.1 Bridge Under Heaven and the Back Garden shift scene by scene — among the most staggering vantages over Zhangjiajie's landforms.
