Spanning over 26,000 hectares, it boasts more than 3,000 towering peaks, many of which rise over 200 meters. This landscape, sculpted over millions of years of erosion, resembles a natural “stone forest.” Key attractions include Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, Suoxiyu Valley, and Tianzi Mountain. The area served as inspiration for the floating mountains in the movie Avatar. Visitors can explore scenic trails, admire natural bridges like the “Bridge Across the Sky,” and enjoy panoramic views from observation decks.

As the world’s tallest outdoor elevator (326 meters high), it transports visitors from the valley floor to the summit in just 1 minute and 28 seconds, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding “Avatar” peaks. Opened in 2002, the glass-walled elevator consists of three cabins, each accommodating up to 50 people. While controversial for its environmental impact, it significantly reduces hiking time to popular spots like Yuanjiajie and the “Hallelujah Mountain.” The ride itself is thrilling, with panoramic vistas of the sandstone pillars and deep gorges.

Key highlights include the “First Bridge Under Heaven,” “Avatar Hallelujah Mountain,” and the mesmerizing “Lost Soul Terrace.” Due to its high elevation, Yuanjiajie is often shrouded in mist, adding a mystical atmosphere to the jagged peaks.

On foggy days, the mist swirls around the peaks, creating an ethereal, dreamlike landscape.

A paved path allows visitors to walk across the bridge, though its narrow width and sheer drops make it thrilling for those with a fear of heights. The surrounding area features hanging red ribbons and locks left by tourists for good luck. From viewpoints nearby, the bridge appears even more impressive, especially when clouds drift beneath it.

The best time to visit is early morning when soft light and mist create a dreamy, ethereal effect. A popular subject for photographers, Fairy Scattering Flowers embodies the romantic and mythical charm of Tianzi Mountain.
• 神兵聚会 - Divine Soldiers Gathering is a spectacular cluster of dozens of towering sandstone pillars standing together like an army of ancient warriors. Located in a remote part of Tianzi Mountain, this formation is less crowded but equally impressive compared to other Zhangjiajie landmarks. The name comes from the legend that these peaks are celestial soldiers summoned by the “Son of Heaven.” The sheer density and height of the pillars create a sense of awe, particularly when viewed from the nearby observation deck. Adventure seekers can take a challenging hike to get closer to the formations, while most visitors enjoy the panoramic view from above.
