Zhangjiajie is arguably one of the most beautiful nature areas in all of China and since this was my first time in the country, I knew this was one of the places I had to visit! Known as the Hallelujah Mountains since the area gained even more popularity after the Avatar movie series took inspiration from this area. Understandably this area can get VERY BUSY during peak tourist seasons, so make sure you book your tickets ahead of time and know the basics of what to expect. I hope my video will be helpful in planning your trip!
