3Wulingyuan Scenic Area, China

Wulingyuan Scenic Area, located in the Zhangjiajie region of China, is a surreal landscape of towering sandstone pillars and lush greenery. The area inspired James Cameron’s film “Avatar” due to its resemblance to the movie’s alien landscape.

Visitors can explore this magical place by hiking its trails, riding glass-bottomed elevators up the pillars, or taking a stroll on the famous “Avatar Hallelujah Mountain.” The towering stone formations, shrouded in mist and lush vegetation, create a sense of being in a dreamlike world.
