Zhangjiajie
Avatar mountains, glass cliffs, and clouds under your feet
The movie Avatar didn't invent these mountains — it copied them. Thousands of sandstone pillars rising from a sea of clouds, with glass walkways bolted to the cliff faces. This is what 3D looks like before the glasses.

- Yuanjiajie (Avatar) at golden hour — skip the crowds
- Glass skywalk: conquer your fear of heights
