It is a mountainous plateau with lush trees and mist, known as the mysterious "Pandora World".
The most famous attraction is the Qiankun Pillar, where the floating mountain "Hallelujah Mountain" in the movie "Avatar" was filmed.
The magnificent Mihun Terrace is the best viewing platform in the scenic area. Standing in the center of the terrace, you can see hundreds of stone peaks standing around it, which is very impressive.
The No. 1 Bridge in the scenic area spans between two mountains and is the natural stone slab bridge with the largest vertical height difference discovered in the world so far.

As soon as we entered the scenic area, we were faced with a vast expanse of peaks and rugged rocks, as well as layers of mountains and dangerous peaks. It seemed as if someone in the world had carved them with a sword, or as if someone had meticulously carved them. Seeing this scene, we were all deeply impressed by the ingenuity of nature.
Looking at the lofty mountains in front of me, walking on the winding stone road under my feet, I was reminded of the line in the song "Picking the Stars":
"The Boy in the Rugged
And look up to the depths of the blue sky to find a path
That beautiful day, I embraced you
Let the secular world give a colorful voice
Walking and singing in the rough terrain
Let the mountains hear your lofty aspirations."
Follow the road signs and map instructions, and you won’t miss Yuanjiajie’s most famous Hallelujah Mountain, the Terrace of Enchantment and the First Bridge in the World.
Slowly walk along the tourist trail of Yuanjiajie, and leisurely enjoy its rocky peaks, mountains and valley peaks. Walking on the edge of the cliff, you can appreciate the majestic momentum at your fingertips. The mist makes the looming scenery look like a fairyland. Standing on the viewing platform of Yuanjiajie Scenic Area, you can see three thousand strange peaks, majestic, dangerous, wild and with different expressions. In the depths of the canyon, thousands of stone peaks and stone pillars stand out. The steep stones are like heroic generals; the jagged peaks are like brave warriors. There are sounds and colors, static and dynamic, and the images are lifelike and ready to come out. Mountains rise up one after another, like mirages in the mist. Standing on the cliff, climbing the platform and looking out, there is a huge peak in the valley that is level with the rock cover. The top of the peak is flat and covered with grass. Inside, there is a stone like a turtle, with its head held high to the north, as if crawling slowly.
Yuanjiajie is located in the north of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. It is a square mountain plateau. It is backed by rocky peaks and mountains, facing the valleys and peaks, and stretches from east to west. The main attractions include the Back Garden, the Soul-stirring Terrace, and the No. 1 Bridge in the World. Yuanjiajie covers an area of about 1,200 hectares, with an average altitude of 1,074 meters. It is adjacent to Jinbian Creek in the east and overlooks Yaozi Village in the distance; it overlooks Huangshi Village in the south and connects to Tianbo Mansion; it is connected to Tianzi Mountain in the west; and it is close to Suoxi Valley in the north. It is located in the north of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park and is a pearl inlaid in the core scenic area of Wulingyuan. Yuanjiajie is located at the northern foot of Shandaogou. It is a huge and relatively gentle mountain composed mainly of quartzite. It is another scenic spot in Zhangjiajie Park. From the left of Zicaotan in Jinbian Creek, you can enter Shandaogou to Yuanjiajie; along the edge of Yuanjiajie Terrace, you can also go down to the Qianli Meeting Point of Jinbian Creek by taking the desolate trail; you can also go to Tianzi Mountain and Yangjiazhai from Yuanjiajie.
Yuanjiajie should be regarded as one of the highlights of Zhangjiajie Forest Park, but it is also the most crowded attraction. The scenery is very beautiful and gives people a shocking feeling. After arriving in Zhangjiajie, this is a must-visit attraction. The only drawback is that there are too many tourists. Even if it is not the peak season, there are still people crowded there, which reduces its points a lot. There is no way, who says it is beautiful, everyone goes there for it.
Yuanjiajie is famous for its peaks.
It is said that the name Yuanjiajie originated from the Later Tang Dynasty. After the failure of Huang Chao's uprising, a soldier under Huang Chao, whose surname was Yuan, came to this remote mountain to live in seclusion in order to avoid being hunted down. He built a hut here, reclaimed wasteland and grew crops, and named this place "Yuanjiajie" after his own surname.
Yuanjiajie is a small platform area on the top of a mountain. It is surrounded by a large valley. In the valley, there are countless towering stone peaks of various shapes. Among them is the prototype of Hallelujah Mountain in the movie "Avatar" - the Qiankun Pillar with a vertical height of about 150 meters. In addition, there are back gardens, the Soul-stirring Platform, the No. 1 Bridge in the World, etc., which make people sigh at the magic of nature. There are viewing trails around Yuanjiajie, as well as extended viewing platforms. Next to the trails and platforms are cliffs hundreds of meters high. Many tourists may have forgotten that they are still afraid of heights when enjoying the beautiful scenery. No wonder some people say that a tour in Zhangjiajie can cure acrophobia.
Yuanjiajie is the Wulingyuan Scenic Area, and probably the place with the most visitors in the entire Zhangjiajie Scenic Area. It was already 2:30 pm when we arrived at Yuanjiajie, but it was still the place with the most tourists all day. From the First Bridge in the World to the Pillar of Heaven and Earth to the Soul-Enchanting Terrace, we were full of the wonders of nature and the crowds of people. It was not until 5 pm that the number of tourists finally decreased.
The core area of Zhangjiajie Scenic Area. From here, you can see tall and slender rock pillars scattered in the valley. It is no wonder that this place is the inspiration for the magical movie Avatar. The most famous Qiankun Pillar is also in this area. It takes two or three hours to play the whole thing, which is very shocking.
Yuanjiajie is located in the north of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, covering an area of about 1,200 hectares and with an average altitude of 1,074 meters. It is adjacent to Jinbian Creek in the east, overlooking Yaozi Village in the distance, Huangshi Village in the south, adjacent to Tianbo Mansion, connected to Tianzi Mountain in the west, and Suoxi Valley in the north. It is a pearl inlaid in the core scenic area of Wulingyuan.
According to legend, during the Later Tang Dynasty, after the failure of Huang Chao's uprising, the court posted notices everywhere to capture the rebels in order to completely eliminate the rebels. A soldier under Huang Chao named Yuan came to this remote mountain to live in seclusion to avoid being hunted down. He built a hut here, reclaimed wasteland and planted crops, and named this place "Yuanjiajie" after his own surname.
There are many viewing platforms in Yuanjiajie, but there is only one road that does not require turning back. The main attractions include the Back Garden, the Soul-Station, the Hallelujah Floating Mountain, the No. 1 Bridge in the World, etc.
[Yuanjiajie] Yuanjiajie covers an area of about 1,200 hectares, with an average altitude of 1,074 meters. It is adjacent to Jinbian Creek in the east and overlooks Yaozizhai in the distance; it overlooks Huangshizhai in the south and is connected to Tianbo Mansion; it is connected to Tianzi Mountain in the west; and it is located in Suoxi Valley in the north.

After the failure of Huang Chao's uprising, the court posted notices everywhere to capture the rebels in order to completely eliminate the rebels. At that time, there was a soldier under Huang Chao, whose surname was Yuan. In order to avoid being hunted down, he came to Qingyan Mountain, a remote mountain far away from the world, to live in seclusion. He built a hut here, reclaimed wasteland and planted grain, and named it after his surname, Yuanjiajie. Yuanjiajie is located at the northern foot of Shandaogou. It is a huge and relatively gentle mountain composed mainly of quartzite. It is also a scenic spot in Zhangjiajie Park.
From the left side of Zicaotan in Jinbian Creek, you can enter Shandaogou to go up to Yuanjiajie. You can also go down to the Qianli meeting point of Jinbian Creek by following the edge of Yuanjiajie plateau and taking the deserted path. You can also go to Tianzi Mountain and Yangjiazhai from Yuanjiajie.
Yuanjiajie - a popular check-in spot for tour groups, the location of the Hallelujah Mountain in Avatar - the location of the Pillars of Heaven and Earth. There are so many people, crowds of people everywhere, it is basically impossible to avoid the crowds.
The main attractions are: the No. 1 Bridge in the World, Qiankun Pillar, and Mihun Terrace.
The most famous places in Yuanjiajie are the No. 1 Bridge in the World and Hallelujah Mountain. There is really nothing to see at the No. 1 Bridge in the World and there are too many people.
The weather was bad that day, it would have been nice to take pictures with blue sky and white clouds
It is really tiring to walk to Yuanjiajie, but you don’t have to walk the same way again. After walking the whole way, you can take a bus to Bailong Elevator and take the elevator. There are many people coming down there.
Yuanjiajie is a mountainous plateau with lush trees and mist, known as the mysterious "Pandora World". The most famous attraction is the Qiankun Pillar, where the suspended mountain "Hallelujah Mountain" in the movie "Avatar" was filmed. The majestic Mihun Terrace is the best viewing platform in the scenic area. Standing in the middle of the platform, there are hundreds of stone peaks standing around, which is extraordinary. The No. 1 Bridge in the world, spanning between two mountains, is the natural self-generated stone slab bridge with the largest vertical height difference discovered in the world so far.
Go up the Bailong Ladder and take the sightseeing bus to Mihun Terrace to get off. We took a short tour (which is also the route for most people), that is, from Mihun Terrace, through Hallelujah Mountain, Lianxin Bridge, Changshou Pond, Shengui Wentian, and the No. 1 Bridge in the World, and finally took a sightseeing bus to Yangjiajie at the overpass parking lot. The style of Mihun Terrace is similar to that of Huangshizhai yesterday, but it is more beautiful. However, you can only truly appreciate the beauty of Zhangjiajie Scenic Area by going to the site, and the photos basically cannot show the effect of the site. Qiankun Pillar is really so high!!! "The No. 1 Bridge in the World" is a natural stone bridge, 350 meters high and 50 meters across. The top is 12 meters long, 4 meters wide and 5 meters thick.
Yuanjiajie is another scenic spot in Zhangjiajie Park. It is adjacent to Jinbian Creek in the east and overlooks Yaozizhai in the distance; it overlooks Huangshizhai in the south and is connected to Tianbofu; it is connected to Tianzi Mountain in the west; and it is close to Suoxiyu in the north. Located in the north of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, it is a pearl inlaid in the core scenic area of Wulingyuan. It is said that the name Yuanjiajie originated from the Later Tang Dynasty. After the failure of the Huang Chao Uprising, a soldier surnamed Yuan came here to live in seclusion to avoid being hunted down. He built a hut here, reclaimed wasteland and planted crops, and named it "Yuanjiajie" after his surname.
Zhangjiajie, Yuanjiajie and Yangjiajie actually belong to the same scenic area, but they are different mountains where people with different surnames practice Taoism.
Yuanjiajie has nice scenery but there are too many tourists, so all tour groups must go there.
Enter from the Wulingyuan ticket station, then take the Bailong Elevator to the mountain and enjoy the scenery along the trail.
The most famous thing in Yuanjiajie is the Qiankun Pillar, also known as the Hallelujah Floating Mountain, which is a must-see attraction for tourists in Zhangjiajie.
One of the highlights of Zhangjiajie, where Hallelujah Mountain is located. It was renamed because of the filming of Avatar. It is very beautiful.
The iconic Qiankun Pillar is very impressive. It is a must-see attraction in Zhangjiajie.
Yuanjiajie Scenic Area: (including the "Qiankun Pillar", the prototype of the "Hallelujah Mountain" in the movie "Avatar", the No. 1 Bridge in the World, the Nine-Sky Ladder, the Qiankun Pillar, the Lianxin Bridge, the China-Korea Friendship Pavilion, the Divine Turtle Asking the Sky, the Soul-Station, etc.) Yuanjiajie is one of the most unique and spectacular scenic spots on the top of Zhangjiajie Forest Park.
Yuanjiajie is located in the north of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. It is a mountain plateau. Backed by rocky mountains and facing the valley peaks, it stretches from east to west and is a pearl inlaid in the core scenic area of Wulingyuan.
The most famous attraction, the floating mountain "Hallelujah Mountain", was filmed at the Qiankun Pillar.
It is the first scenic spot on the way up the mountain. You must walk slowly and see Zhangjiajie slowly, for at least two days.
When you arrive in Zhangjiajie, you just want to see the green, escape the summer heat, and see all kinds of strange-shaped mountains.
Yuanjia Village is located in the core scenic area of Wulingyuan, Zhangjiajie. It is the only private building in the Yuanjiajie Scenic Area. It is a village owned by local landlords and has been completely preserved and has become a major tourist attraction. It also retains the architectural features of the Tujia people. The corners of the eaves fly outwards obliquely, and strings of corn and peppers are hung under the eaves. The Tujia people are hospitable and like to entertain guests with homemade wine. They must sing and toast before drinking. After A Mei finished her toast, each tourist tasted a glass. The alcohol content was not high, only a few degrees, not difficult to drink, and there was no feeling... The three major characteristics of the Tujia people have been heard before, "driving corpses, crying for marriage, and poisoning", which are still unsolved mysteries. This is the poisonous insect used by A Mei to poison. Xilankapu, a major feature of the Tujia people, is woven by married women with various colored threads, with exquisite craftsmanship and a long time.
The architecture of the Tujia people is very distinctive. The eaves of the village gate are curled up, with a plaque with the words "Yuanjia Village" across the middle, and big red lanterns hanging on both sides. The village gate is hung with golden old corns. As soon as we arrived, people from the village started playing suona and drums, and it was very lively.
The scenery is almost the same as the one I took. Look at it from all angles...
In 2010, I joined the Green Team's Zhangjiajie Phoenix route. The most famous places in Yuanjiajie are the Hallelujah Stone and the No. 1 Bridge in the World.
Yuanjiajie Scenic Area is a mountainous platform with lush trees and fog, known as the mysterious "Pandora World". The Qiankun Pillar, the filming location of the floating mountain "Hallelujah Mountain" in the movie "Avatar", is also here. In addition, there is the majestic Mihun Terrace, which is the best viewing platform in the scenic area. Standing in the middle, there are hundreds of stone peaks standing around, which is extraordinary.
It is not as beautiful as Mount Lu, nor as majestic as Mount Tai, but its uniqueness is incomparable to the former and it is indeed beautiful.
Yuanjiajie is not big, the scenic spots are relatively concentrated, and the scenery is nice
This mountain, which is mainly made of limestone, is definitely a must-visit scenic spot in Zhangjiajie Forest Park. The main attractions include the Back Garden, the Soul-Station, and the No. 1 Bridge in the World. Of course, there is also the Hundred Dragons Cloud Ladder, which is known as a step to heaven, also built in Yuanjiajie. On the way from the No. 1 Bridge in the World to the Soul-Station, there is a stone slab trail more than 2,000 meters long that surrounds the cliffs. This is the best natural viewing platform in Yuanjiajie Scenic Area, where you can enjoy the Eight Diagrams Formation, the Ape Man Asking the Moon, the Divine Turtle Exploring the Sky, the Lover's Valley, the Five Women Paying Homage to the Marshal, the Pillar of Heaven and Earth, the Yin and Yang Realm, and other peerless beauty.
The 2-day tour of Zhangjiajie Forest Park is unforgettable. The tour group tour with the travel agency costs 780 yuan per person. To be honest, it is a bit expensive, because the ticket is 248 yuan, and there is a feeling of being cheated, which is not good! Who knows that the bigger pit is still behind. We were sold to another group the next day. The tour guide was even more hateful. He talked about getting on the bus and asked us to pay another 680 yuan from the ticket station. We also signed an agreement. Because it was a group tour for individual tourists, everyone had opinions. The tour guide urged us to pay the fee. As soon as the tour guide fee was collected, we were replaced by another tour guide. This one was the official tour guide. I was so angry that I had no place to vent. However, the scenery of Zhangjiajie Forest Park is still very beautiful. It is recommended that you book your own tickets online, and buy what tickets you need to go to the scenic spot, and then buy them. It is clear that you spend money. Friends who don’t know the routes can see how the tour group is arranged online for a few days. Just follow their routes. There is no need to prepare.
It's nice here. It's right to go to Yuanjiajie when it rains. The Mihun Terrace is beautiful, and the back garden. . I can't complain
Except for the crowds, the scenery is actually similar to the other places. Because the attractions are concentrated here, it is a must-go place for tourist groups. People walk in a queue, and because of the crowds, they can only take headshots.
For scenery viewing, Laowuchang and Yangjiajie are recommended, as the travel experience is much better.
When you come to the Forest Park, Yuanjiajie is a place worth visiting. There are two ways to get to Yuanjiajie. One is to take the Bailong Elevator. In the peak season, there may be many people queuing to take the Bailong Elevator. The ticket price is more than 80 yuan per person for a one-way trip. When you reach the top of the mountain, there will be a car to take you to the Mihun Terrace. The second is to walk up the mountain, which can save money and exercise, but it takes a long time, but you don’t have to queue, and you can visit the Golden Whip Stream by the way. It is a good experience to see the mountain at the Golden Whip Stream. Of course, these two ways are also available when you come down from Yuanjiajie.
The mountains here are very different from Tianzi Mountain. They are connected together instead of being relatively independent. If Tianzi Mountain is a graceful girl, then Yuanjiajie is a tall and handsome man!
It was cloudy on the day we went there, so the photos looked a bit dark. The scenic spots in the mountains have their own names, such as the Soul-Station, the Back Garden, and the Pillar of Heaven and Earth. I couldn't tell them apart, so I just walked along and marveled at the uncanny workmanship of nature. This kind of scenery belongs to the quartz sandstone landform. Zhangjiajie was a sea hundreds of millions of years ago. The seabed rocks were eroded by flowing water, collapsed by gravity, and weathered, and finally formed the tall stone pillar forest we see today. It takes a few minutes to pass by a scene, and it took hundreds of millions of years to form such a scenery. Every trace on the stone wall has experienced countless times of seawater scouring, and how many lives have multiplied and passed away. This is not only a masterpiece of water and wind, not only a witness to the movement of the earth's crust, but also the silence left by the whistling waves of time, which is silent but shocking.
The uncanny workmanship of nature is overwhelming. Yuanjiajie is the core scenic spot of Zhangjiajie, where the famous Mihun Terrace, Hallelujah Mountain, and the No. 1 Bridge in the World are located. It was drizzling intermittently that day, and there was a lot of fog on the mountain. The beautiful scenery of Yuanjiajie sometimes appeared and sometimes disappeared, as if you were in a fairyland.
Yuanjiajie is located at the top of the mountain. The scenic area is not big. There are three ways to get there. One is to take the scenic area bus from the direction of Yangjiajie. The second is to take the bus from Shuiraosimen to Bailong Elevator and take the elevator up. The third is that there is a small path in Jinbianxi where you can walk up the mountain to Yuanjiajie. There is a sign at the intersection. After the tour, you can take the bus to the next stop.
It is said that touching the cinnabar stele in Yuanjiajie will bring good luck, and tourists passing by are queuing up to take photos.
It took less than ten minutes to walk to see the scenery of Yuanjiajie, but it was not the highest point. Looking at the opposite mountain, there were still some aboriginal residents living there.
It's not the peak tourist season yet, so there are a lot of people here.
It's a very busy scenic spot, with too many tour groups, so you can just take a look and leave. But there is one good thing, because there are so many people, there is a special snack market and KFC.
After exiting the Bailong Elevator, you will see the landmark of Yuanjiajie.
Take the eco-friendly bus at the parking lot, get off at Mihuntai, and start to visit the highlights of Yuanjiajie
The Soul-confusing Platform, the Pillar of Heaven and Earth, the Pond of Longevity, and the First Bridge in the World
The Baizhang Cliff is where people perform rock climbing stunts, but they will only perform if there are enough people watching, and the fee is ten yuan per person.
The main attractions here are Lock Mountain, No. 1 Bridge in the World, Hallelujah Mountain (the one in Avatar), and Maze. There are too many tourists here, and it is noisy. It may be a popular attraction for tour groups. I don’t like the environment here.
There are a lot of monkeys here.
Yuanjiajie is so noisy, I don't want to stay there for long
A blockbuster destination, an Avatar dream-seeking journey, a feast for the eyes
Known as the mysterious "Pandora World", after the rain, you can enjoy the enchanting beauty of clouds and mountains. The famous Hallelujah Mountain, the Enchanting Terrace, the No. 1 Bridge in the World and other aerial views are all here. But this is also a must-go place for tourist groups, and there are really a lot of people! Maybe it will be better if you go early in the morning or after 5 pm.
I feel like you have to look down a bit to capture its grandeur.
The whole Yuanjiajie is very large, but the scenic spots are also concentrated. I think it is the most beautiful place in Wulingyuan Scenic Area. It is famous because the floating mountain in the movie "Avatar" was also filmed here.
In Yuanjiajie Scenic Area, the air is extremely fresh due to the abundant water resources and dense forests. The latest measurements show that the forest coverage rate of Yuanjiajie Scenic Area is as high as over 98%. The dust and bacteria content in the air is very low, while the oxygen content is very high. In some areas, the number of negative oxygen ions per cubic meter of air is nearly 100,000, which is about 500 times higher than the normal environment. It is like a huge "natural oxygen bar" and is very suitable for leisure and health preservation.
Yuanjiajie does have several unique and beautiful landscapes. The most famous one is the Qiankun Pillar, which is famous for the movie "Avatar". Of course, you will be shocked by its majestic momentum at the scene. You have to admire this masterpiece of nature. It's a pity that there were no floating clouds that day, and the floating feeling of Hallelujah Mountain in the movie was missing, which was a bit regrettable!
The world's first bridge, walking on it doesn't feel like anything, but if you admire it from a distance, it is really amazing. The two peaks are connected by it.
Although I can't remember Avatar, it's great that foreigners can come to shoot. But without the blessing of clouds and mist, it's really just an ordinary road, especially after a few days of beautiful scenery. I just want to sing, we are all the same, there is no difference... After the Grand Canyon Glass Bridge, another lousy attraction, Bailong Elevator! I sincerely recommend taking the cable car, at least you can ride for a few minutes, it feels good!
Yuanjiajie, the filming location of Avatar, is one of the most famous attractions in Zhangjiajie, so it is a must-visit place for tour groups; the site is very large.
Take a short eco-friendly bus from the upper station of Bailong Tianti to Mihuntai Station, and walk from Mihuntai to Tiansheng Bridge. This section is the most important scenic spot in Yuanjiajie and the place with the most tourists. Even in the off-season, it is crowded. Walking along the sightseeing trail, you can see the scenery everywhere in the canyon. Looking down at the stone pillars rising from the abyss, I, who suffers from mild acrophobia, had some trembling hands when taking pictures. I always had an illusion that my phone or glasses were about to fall to the bottom of the valley.
There is a big rock which is the prototype of Mount Hallelujah. It has a feeling of being thick on top and thin in the middle. If there happens to be mist lingering in the valley, it will feel like it is floating.
Because there were too many people, I couldn't take a picture of the hanging waterfall.
I finally squeezed into the first line.
The waterfall has been hidden deep in the clouds
As if it had never appeared
Wonderland is like a dream
Yuanjiajie is the most central scenic spot.
Scenic walk along the cliff edge
Looking from afar, the three thousand peaks on the other side have different appearances and are covered with clouds and mist.
A sense of pride arises spontaneously
If you go to Yuanjiajie alone, it is best to take the Bailong Elevator, which takes you to a height of 335 meters in 1 minute and 32 seconds and leads you directly to Yuanjiajie. Otherwise, it will take at least 3 hours on foot.
There are two passages from the foot of the mountain to Yuanjiajie. One is to go up the "Luanchuan Slope" in the middle section of the "Golden Whip Stream" to the "Back Garden"; the other is to take the "World's First Elevator" - Bailong Elevator to Xiaping. It only takes 1 minute and 58 seconds to go up the mountain by elevator, which is both easy and safe. Not only is this spectacular wonder of elevator engineering amazing, but what is even more amazing is that when the elevator rushes out of the shaft, a magical picture comes into view. The "Gathering of Divine Soldiers" with strict formations, one of the top ten scenic spots in Zhangjiajie, is like a neat and majestic guard of honor, waiting for your "inspection"; when the elevator reaches the top of the mountain, walk out of the station building, look into the distance, a fresh and natural pastoral landscape painting stands out in the sky, like a mirage quietly coming, this is the "pastoral in the sky" that everyone has longed for.
I saw everything in Yuanjiajie ~ sea of clouds ~ clear mountains ~~
Yuanjiajie, the prototype of the floating mountain in the movie Avatar.
It takes 10 minutes to go back to Wulongzhai intersection and take an eco-friendly car to Yuanjiajie. This is also where the most tour groups are concentrated. The core scenic spots of Yuanjiajie are the floating mountain in "Avatar", the No. 1 Bridge in the World and the Soul-confusing Terrace. The road to Yuanjiajie is very winding, but it leads to the same destination and you won't get lost.
Take the Bailong Elevator up the mountain and then take the sightseeing bus to Yuanjiajie Scenic Area, a must-see attraction in the forest park. At first glance, there are many strange rocks, which are very majestic. Otherwise, there are too many people. I really want to shout a few times. The beautiful mountains and rivers of our motherland
When you are in Yuanjiajie, the marvelous caves, mountains, rivers and rocks make people think of "a paradise on earth". It is so beautiful.
There are thousands of beautiful mountains and hundreds of beautiful rivers in Yuanjiajie, including the lifelike Yin and Yang world where yin and yang face each other, the divine turtle exploring the sea that has experienced thousands of years of wind and rain and is speechless to the sky, the world's first bridge that is ingeniously crafted, and the mysterious Wulong Village... Being in Yuanjiajie is like walking into a door of wonder.
Avatar, Zhangjiajie is a beautiful place, worth visiting
Among the Zhangjiajie scenic areas, Yuanjiajie is one of the most crowded ones, and the scenery is also beautiful, it is worth a visit.
Part of the Wulingyuan Scenic Area, which is full of karst mountains, surrounded by clouds and mist, very beautiful
Yuanjiajie is located in the north of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. It is a mountain plateau. It is backed by rocky mountains and faces the valley peaks. It stretches from east to west. The main attractions include the Back Garden, the Soul-stirring Terrace, and the First Bridge in the World.
Yuanjiajie is adjacent to Jinbian Creek in the east and Yaozi Village in the distance; it overlooks Huangshi Village in the south and is connected to Tianbo Mansion; it is connected to Tianzi Mountain in the west; and Suoxi Valley in the north. It is located in the north of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park and is the core scenic spot of Wulingyuan.
The only feeling is that there are too many people! This is a must-visit place for a large number of tour groups. If you want to avoid being so crowded, you have to enter the scenic area around 8 am or after 5 pm. Otherwise, it will be crowded and you won't be able to see anything.
Yuanjiajie is the core of Wulingyuan Scenic Area, and it has become famous after being filmed in the American science fiction movie "Avatar". Its most unique feature is the entire rock top platform and the peaks formed by the towering and separated sandstone columns.
Avatar made it famous, and the real scene is indeed beautiful, and the feeling of the mountain group is more obvious
The mountains are majestic and magnificent. For some reason, these pictures always remind me of Journey to the West.
Very distinctive mountain scenery, but too many people.

The mountains of Yuanjiajie are very spectacular, and every stone pillar has a very grand sense of déjà vu. When Hallelujah Mountain is surrounded by clouds and mist, it really looks like the fairyland in Avatar.
When I got to the top of the mountain, I was attracted by the noise before I could even admire the wonders of nature. At the best viewing platform, Chinese, Koreans and other foreigners were queuing up excitedly, ready to take a photo with Hallelujah Mountain on the bird of Avatar. The Pillar of Heaven and Earth is really a pillar that supports the sky, standing alone with its own style, which reminds me of the giant python coming out of the mountain in Sanqing Mountain. But why must it be renamed? Isn't it better to call it the Pillar of Heaven and Earth? I think it is much more domineering than Hallelujah Mountain.
The attractions of Yuanjiajie include "Generals in formation", "Optimus Prime" (Hallelujah Mountain), and "The First Bridge in the World". Just walk along the plank road. Because we have already enjoyed these views in the "Sky Garden", we didn't feel anything when we saw Yuanjiajie again. We went down the mountain and took the "Bailong Elevator" directly to leave the scenic area. The whole forest park was officially over.
First, we went to a place where we could see the No. 1 Bridge in the World from a distance. Only from here could we really see the amazing work of the No. 1 Bridge in the World. Later, we walked up to the top of the bridge, but we didn’t feel anything. Then we visited the No. 1 Bridge in the World, the Soul-stirring Platform, the Back Garden, etc. Unfortunately, the fog was too thick. After walking along the Yuanjiajie line, we went straight down the Luancuan Slope, and finally walked to the Qianli Meeting Point of the Golden Whip Stream. Then we continued to play all the way out of the Golden Whip Stream. On the way, we drank the Longevity Spring, which can prolong life and beautify the skin. We saw the Wenxing Rock, which looked very much like Mr. Lu Xun, the Candle Peak, and the scene where the earliest version of Journey to the West was filmed, where the master and apprentice learned from the scriptures.
Walk along the foot massage trail for a while and then you can exit the forest park.
I saw the filming location of Avatar and the No. 1 bridge in the world. It was worth the trip.
Yuanjiajie covers an area of about 1,200 hectares, with an average altitude of 1,074 meters. It is adjacent to Jinbian Creek in the east and overlooks Yaozizhai in the distance; it overlooks Huangshizhai in the south and is connected to Tianbo Mansion; it is connected to Tianzi Mountain in the west; and it is close to Suoxiyu in the north. It is located in the north of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park and is a pearl inlaid in the core scenic area of Wulingyuan. The main attractions include the Back Garden, Mihun Terrace, and the No. 1 Bridge in the World.
