ImprescindibleZhangjiajie
El mundo real de Avatar
Zhangjiajie alberga miles de pilares de arenisca envueltos en niebla y bosques — el paisaje que inspiró las flotantes Montañas Aleluya de Avatar. Más allá del parque forestal nacional, el paseo de fondo de cristal en la montaña Tianmen y el puente de fondo de cristal más largo del mundo atraen a visitantes que buscan combinar paisajes dramáticos con emociones vertiginosas.
Mejor época para visitar: De abril a junio, de septiembre a octubre
Explorar Zhangjiajie por tema
Lo más destacado
- Zhangjiajie National Forest Park
A landscape of more than 3,000 sandstone pillar mountains rising through cloud and forest, covering 264 square kilometres of northwestern Hunan. The pillars — some topping 1,000 metres — were carved over 300 million years by erosion, and the overall effect is less like a mountain range and more like a gallery of vertical sculptures.
- Tianmen Mountain and Glass Walkway
A separate mountain from the national forest park, Tianmen is notable for a natural cave arch punched through the rock at 1,300 metres, a sheer-sided cliff road with 99 hairpin bends, and a 60-metre glass-bottom walkway bolted to the cliff face at the summit.
- Grand Canyon Glass Bridge
A 430-metre glass-bottom suspension bridge stretched across the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon at a height of 300 metres, connecting two cliff faces above a river gorge. When it opened in 2016 it held the record for the world's longest and highest glass-bottom bridge.
