Zhangjiajie, Hunan Province, China

17 Apr

During my Chinese New Year holiday I went to Zhangjiajie in Hunan Province, a truly magnificent view. It was also the inspiration for Pandora, the city in the clouds, in the movie Avatar. The mountain side glass elevator was pretty nifty as well as the ‘old man gathering herbs’ rock formation (last photo).

    Dear Sheila,
    we are planning to visit Zhangjiajie during this year’s Chinese new year. And we were wondering if the Zhangjiajie national park is not too crowded during that period.
    Like taking the cable car and visiting the glass walk-way

    What was your experience?

    Thanks in advance for your responce.

    Regards,
    Jurgen

      Oh No! I was traveling and didn’t see your comment until now. CNY is over and I hope you had a wonderful time in Zhangjiajie.
