Why Visit Zhangjiajie, China?
Zhangjiajie, in China's Hunan province, is a landscape straight out of a fantasy film — and that's exactly what it is. The towering sandstone pillars of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park inspired the floating Hallelujah Mountains in Avatar, and seeing them in person is even more breathtaking than on screen. Just a 3.5-hour flight from Hong Kong, this UNESCO World Heritage site offers some of the most dramatic scenery on Earth, from mist-wrapped peaks to the world's tallest glass bridge. With Bliss Travel's private custom tours, you can explore this natural wonderland at your own pace, away from the crowds.
Top Attractions in Zhangjiajie
Zhangjiajie National Forest Park & Yuanjiajie
This is the heart of the region — more than 3,000 quartz-sandstone pillars rising up to 200 metres above the forest floor. The Yuanjiajie scenic area is home to the famous "Avatar Hallelujah Mountain", named after the film that made it legendary. Take the Bailong Elevator, the world's tallest outdoor lift, for sweeping views.
Tianzi Mountain
Known as the "Monarch of the Peak Forest", Tianzi Mountain offers panoramic viewpoints over endless pillar formations. On misty mornings, the peaks appear to float on clouds — a photographer's dream. The cable car ride up is an attraction in itself.
Tianmen Mountain & the Glass Bridge
Tianmen Mountain features the dramatic "Heaven's Gate" — a natural arch carved into the cliff — reached by the world's longest cable car ride. Thrill-seekers will also love the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Glass Bridge, the longest and highest glass-bottomed bridge on the planet, suspended 300 metres above the canyon floor.
Best Time to Visit
April to June and September to November offer the best conditions: mild temperatures, clear skies, and dramatic sea-of-clouds mornings. Summer (July–August) is lush but crowded and rainy, while winter brings a quiet, snow-dusted fairytale atmosphere. Weekday visits are always quieter than weekends.
