IncontournableZhangjiajie
Le monde réel d'Avatar
Zhangjiajie abrite des milliers de colonnes de grès noyées dans la brume et les forêts — le paysage qui a inspiré les Montagnes Alléluia flottantes d'Avatar. Au-delà du parc forestier national, le chemin en verre au fond de vide sur la montagne Tianmen et le plus long pont en verre du monde attirent les visiteurs en quête de paysages dramatiques et de sensations vertigineuses.
Meilleure période pour visiter: Avril à juin, septembre à octobre
Découvrir Zhangjiajie par thème
Incontournables
- 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.
