Located in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, Hunan Province, China, it is a nature reserve covering 130 square kilometers. In addition to its waterfalls, rivers, and caves, the park is most famous for its countless karst peaks that rise from the ground into the clouds: Tianzi Mountain. Among these dizzyingly magnificent peaks, the highest reach over 1,200 meters. Moreover, the national park has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1992.

Known for its steep cliffs and lush forests, this beautiful mountain gives the illusion of being in a ethereal, heavenly realm. Today, it has also inspired countless Chinese poets and writers, who have left behind timeless verses and literary works. In recent years, the floating Hallelujah Mountains in Pandora from James Cameron’s film ‘Avatar’ were modeled after the surreal beauty of this place.
