The Bailong Elevator in Zhangjie, China, is a breathtaking feat of engineering and one of the world's highest outdoor elevators. Built on the side of a colossal quartz-sandstone cliff, it rockets passengers 326 meters (1,070 feet) vertically upwards in just under two minutes. This glass-walled elevator offers a stunning, panoramic ascent, providing unparalleled views of the towering, pillar-like karst formations of the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park—the very landscape that inspired the floating mountains in the film *Avatar*. It is not merely a mode of transport but a thrilling attraction in itself, seamlessly blending human ingenuity with the raw, majestic beauty of nature.

Yuanjiajie, the core scenic area of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, is famous for its unique quartz sandstone peak forest landscape and served as the filming location for the floating mountains in *Avatar*. Its iconic landmark, the "Hallelujah Mountain" (Qiankun Column), stands at 1,080 meters, showcasing breathtaking grandeur. The "First Bridge Under Heaven," a natural stone bridge spanning two peaks, is a marvel to behold. The "Mihun Platform" offers the best panoramic views of the peaks, often shrouded in mist, creating a fairy-tale-like atmosphere. The Bailong Elevator, one of the world's tallest outdoor elevators, provides quick access to the summit for stunning views. With its towering peaks, sea of clouds, and fresh air, Yuanjiajie is a paradise for hikers and photographers, showcasing the awe-inspiring beauty of nature.

Key attractions include the "Imperial Brush Peaks," "Fairy Scattering Flowers," and "Tianzi Pavilion." The Imperial Brush Peaks resemble giant brushes, showcasing extraordinary grandeur, while the Fairy Scattering Flowers looks like a maiden holding flowers, vividly lifelike. Tianzi Pavilion, the highest viewing platform, offers panoramic views of the peaks and clouds, creating a fairy-tale-like scene. The sea of clouds at dawn and the sunrise are particularly spectacular, with mist drifting between the peaks and golden sunlight illuminating the landscape. Tianzi Mountain is a paradise for hikers and photographers, displaying the awe-inspiring beauty of nature.

Admission not included60 min

The Ten-Mile Gallery in Zhangjiajie is located within the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park in Hunan Province, China. It is a valley approximately 5 kilometers long, where the scenery resembles a series of exquisite landscape paintings, hence the name "Ten-Mile Gallery."

Beautiful Mountains, Disappointing Tour — Poor Communication and Guiding

Sadly, this tour fell well short of expectations. No communication about the pickup change from 8am to 9am — we were left waiting and worrying. Our guide’s English was extremely limited; fragmented phrases and unclear pronunciation made it nearly impossible to follow or learn anything meaningful. To top it off, the return van reeked of cigarette smoke, which was unpleasant for the entire ride back. The Avatar Mountains deserve better — go with a different operator who invests in quality guiding and basic customer communication.

I will not forget the name of zhang jian

It was great, it was so beautiful. Tourist guides and passports are organized properly, do not take long and are often quick to organize. I can only recommend something for a short time.

zhangjiajie is good

The trip to Zhangjiajie was simply worth it! As soon as I got off the vehicle, I was stunned by the unique peaks and rocks. The real version of the floating mountain in Yuanjiajie was beyond description. Strolling along Jinbian Stream, the water was crystal clear and the wild monkeys were lively. When taking the cable car, the beautiful scenery in the mountains was all in sight. The facilities in the scenic area were complete and the staff were very enthusiastic. The beauty of Zhangjiajie is one of a kind. I fell in love with it deeply and it's definitely worth visiting again and again.
