Yangjiajie Scenic Area
Zhangjiajie, China
Yuanjiajie Scenic Area in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is famed for its towering quartz sandstone pillars, including the Avatar Hallelujah Mountain. These natural structures inspired the floating mountains in the film 'Avatar' and present a surreal landscape unlike any other. The Bailong Elevator, a glass elevator built into the side of a cliff, offers stunning panoramic views of this ethereal scenery.
