  • During the Labor holiday in China i was lucky enough to visit Zhangjiajie, in Hunan province.
    Zhangjiajie is known partly for being the scene of one of the most famous movies in the world, Avatar. Yet, it's so much more than that. It's a beautiful UNESCO world heritage site, revered and treasured by so many. Find out why in this video.
    This is episode 2 of a 3 part series exploring the area, otherwise known as the Avatar mountains.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Wulingyuan (Chinese: 武陵源) is a scenic and historical site in the Wulingyuan District of South Central China's Hunan Province. It was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1992. It is noted for more than 3,000 quartzite sandstone pillars and peaks across most of the site, many over 200 metres (660 ft) in height, along with many ravines and gorges with picturesque streams, pools, lakes, rivers, and waterfalls. It features 40 caves, many with large calcite deposits and a natural bridge named Tianqiashengkong (meaning 'bridge across the sky'), which is one of the highest natural bridges in the world. The site also provides habitat for many vulnerable species, including the dhole, Asiatic black bear, and Chinese water deer.
    The site is situated in Zhangjiajie City and lies about 270 kilometres (170 mi) to the northwest of Changsha, the capital of Hunan Province. The park covers an area of 690 square kilometers (266 square miles). Wulingyuan forms part of the Wuling Mountain Range. The scenic area consists of four national parks, which are the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, Suoxi Valley Nature Reserve, Tianzi Mountain Nature Reserve, and the recently added Yangjiajie Scenic Area. Overall there are over 560 attraction sights to view.

    Great video Harvey, and the music you chose is perfect. Really takes me back to our visit to Zhangjiajie. Looking forward to seeing how you like Tianmen mountain. We also did that one and climbed every one of the stairs there. Also the glass walkway which I videod and uploaded to my YT channel.

    Impressive scenery. Loving this Zhangjiajie series. My question to everyone is, is there anywhere in the world that has better geography and scenery than the country of China? These karst, quartz and sandstone pillars are unlike anything existing anywhere else on this planet.

      I can't compare Japan, as I've not visited yet. But I can say that this scenery is some of the most incredible on the planet. Plus, China has the most UNESCO world heritage sites out of any country on earth... Including Japan.
