3 Days In Zhangjiajie - The "Avatar" Landscape - WE COULDN’T BELIEVE THIS PLACE! - Hunan, China 🇨🇳

- Valuable/some useful information 👇
● You should never visit Zhangjiajie in July and August. That’s when Chinese people have their vacation. It would simply be too crowded. The same goes for the first week of October.
● According to our guide, it’s best visited in mid-August and one month further, as well as in April, May (except the first week), and June 📅
● When you visit Zhangjiajie, I would highly recommend going with a guide. It’s a huge area and quite difficult to get around if you don’t know it. Also, you have to download Google Translate - it will be a huge help when traveling in China 🇨🇳
● You need a minimum of two days in Zhangjiajie. We spent three days, and it was perfect.
● Make sure you book a hotel that’s located close to the gate 👌🏨
● AND remember warm clothes when you are traveling in the cooler months. It can get very cold here 🥶

Hey Simon,
This video was amazing! Zhangjiajie looks absolutely incredible - those views from the mountaintops are unreal, straight out of Avatar. I can't believe how lush and green everything is. Hiking for 7km must have been tiring, but definitely worth it for those panoramas. And a McDonald's at the top of the mountain? Never would have guessed! Thanks for sharing your adventure, makes me want to add Zhangjiajie to my travel list. Cheers!
Thank you so much for your very nice comment! I really appreciate your kind words 🙏Zhangjiajie is indeed incredible, I hope you can go someday! The McDonalds at the top - haha we were quite surprised too 😝 I really appreciate your support and have a great weekend ahead!
Thanks for sharing the amazing view of the Avata panorama...🎉🎉🎉
@@user-uz3vi3vh3z you are welcome and thanks for your comment 😊
Must be the highest altitude McDonald’s restaurant in the world.

I went to the beautiful Zhanjiajie last November. Experienced ziplining at age of 70.
That sounds like a really great experience, it must have been fun ☺️
You are amazing. Glad you still have a zest for life at 70.
Wow,Good for you.
Well age is just a number. As long as you can do it, just go for it. It’s never too late. 👍
👍👍👍Good for you!!! I feel happy for you.
China has the most beautiful land in the world and Chinese people are really blessed.
Welcom to china😊
Chinese people are blessed to have a stable and beautiful country
I am chinese and i left China almost 20 years . I never had a chance to travel in China. You guys are lucky
China is so beautiful, the perfect combination of nature and technology, peace-loving and hospitable people. China is like the Protoss in the StarCraft games I played when I was a kid, an ancient and powerful civilization.❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Yes, China is a lovely country to visit, with beautiful scenery and very friendly people 😊
Thank you for your nice comments on China. I am also a zealot of Starcraft . I played it a lot from 1996 to 2000 when I were in college.
It's interesting you put China that way, while I was in China, we always thought that US is Protoss because of high tech, how valuable each unit is, more costly but with higher hit points. Russia is Terran because of nukes and tanks, and China, we actually see ourselves as Zerg, because we have a lot more folks. How time has changed that an American would consider China Protoss. Perhaps in the new age, as we have declining population, China do become Protoss, US become Terran and India become Zerg.
Thank you for your comment. I can share with you the traditional Taoist practices from China that may help you achieve a healthy body

Was there years ago, the landscape is so unreal, feel like it’s not from this planet.
I totally agree. It is such a remarkable place! And thanks for your comment 😊
it's from Pandora planet
China is definitely a top choice for travel and I look forward to my next visit to China.
It surely is! Where in China would you like to go next?
@@TalesFromAbroad-SJ I want to go to Huangshan and Xinjiang😆

A visit to Zhangjiajie China is like walking into a piece of Chinese brush painting. Is so magical and peaceful. ❤
I totally agree! Such an amazing place to visit 🙏😍
I was surprised at how beautiful it is there. The pillars remind me of Utah but with vegetation growing on them. It’s great that you could fly the drone there. So many places don’t allow them. This is more than a RUclips video. Great filmmaking skills. 👍
Sure, I can see the comparison with Utah.. Both places are extremely beautiful 👌Yes, it was so nice that we were able to fly the drone. I actually didn't expect that we were allowed to fly it, so it was great 🙏Thanks for your comment my friend and for the compliments, it means a lot. Have a great weekend 👍
I want to go to China again. It's beautiful and the nature is amazing.
It is indeed a beautiful country. China is so amazing to explore. I hope you can go back someday 😊And thanks for your comment!
Wow, your videos are of high quality, the picture quality is also very good, and I like the filters too. China has many mountains and the scenery is very beautiful. Dongyue Mount Tai, Xiyue Mount Huashan, Nanyue Mount Hengshan, Beiyue Mount Hengshan, Zhongyue Mount Songshan, in addition to Zhangjiajie, Mount Emei, Mount Wudang... each mountain has a different deity.We believe gods and goddesses live there.
Thank you very much, that's really nice to hear. You are so right about that, China has so much to offer! Such a beautiful country!
@@TalesFromAbroad-SJ 如果你喜欢爬山，推荐你去黄山，风景超级优美
@TalesFromAbroad-SJ Huangshan 黄山值得去 ，
@@Radiant-Revelry 去黄山，那里藏风聚气，破丹成婴，从此超脱😅

非常欣赏你把张家界的魅力和本应有的安静拍出来了，当然背景音乐起了不小的作用，让我回忆起去张家界旅行的美好，哈哈。很高兴看到有一段年长的女士的镜头，说你们找到了一个人很少的区域，以及你们坐下来喝一杯咖啡的镜头，可以安静欣赏和休息片刻，那真是太美好了。
我也注意到在一些景点聚集的地方，你们遇到了很多拿着扩音器的导游和很多大声说话的游客，很抱歉这让你们感受很不好，这很chinese，没错，我自己也一样被这样的情况困扰。所以很感谢你的show notes里写了写了很多关键的信息，那非常有帮助，一定要避开中国的大的假日，和暑期学生放假的两个月。但中国人口太多了, 很多稍微偏远地区的中国人一生可能只有一次去张家界旅行的机会，他们结伴而行或者选择旅行团。即便别的时间也比北欧的景点多很多人，这和你们的旅行经验很不同，非常谢谢你能包容中国的不同，更多呈现美好的部分。
最后，我看到你side note提到你的中文名字发音问题，我给你一点小的建议和纠正，就是刚开篇的时候，你提到 in the heart of China's XX province，你的发音我听起来其实是中国另一个province 云南（yunan），而不是张家界所在的湖南（hunan），我知道这很难，你已经做的很好了，我只是想给一些帮助。另外，云南（yunan）也美极了，希望它在你的travel list。还有就是仲文的口语，初学的时候比较注重单个字的发音要清晰，比如你说张家界，要三个字分开说，慢一点点说，zhang - jia - jie（我知道你看着中国的拼音，你是拼不出来相同的中文读音的，可能你需要一些Google translate的工具帮助），尤其jia-jie不要连起来，这可能和你的母语和英语都很不同。
最后的最后，帮我和视频中那位年长一些的lady说：hello，我很喜欢她。你的视频很棒，请继续~
Wow thanks a lot for your detailed comment and for the tips as well. I find it quite difficult with the pronunciation, but I do my very best 😊I really appreciate you took the time to write this comment - and I appreciate your support and nice feedback, thank you so much!! Have a great day
Agree with everything said in this long comment.
Your Mom and wife look great, beautiful people visiting beautiful places with authentic conversations made your film stand out,
Thank you!
@@gw1284 Thanks a lot! I really appreciate your kind words 🙏

Beautiful, Beautiful and Beautiful! I have seen many videos about China from foreign tourists... and all this time I've never come across one with the Avatar Mountains. I definitely will be sharing this video on FB. Thank and cheers, from Canada. 🦉 🕊
That's awesome, I'm so glad to hear 🙏Thank you so much for your comment and for sharing on FB. That really means a lot. That is so nice of you! Have a great week ahead
Amazing scenery like a fairy tale .
It surely is. Such a stunning place. Thanks for your comment
영화 아바타를 촬영한 곳인가요? 풍경이 너무 아름답습니다.멋진 영상 공유해 주셔서 감사드립니다.영상 즐겁게 봤습니다.행복한 하루 보내세요~^^
You are so welcome and thank you very much for your comment 🙏 It's not where it's filmed, because it's a fake world in the movie. You know with floating mountains etc. But it's where they draw most of their inspiration from, to create this fake world 😊👌
这是韩国人的圣地，韩国人来中国旅游首选张家界。
Those who like china and chinese are nice people.
Beautiful place and beautiful people. They were so warm and friendly.
I couldn't agree more
The best video showing Zhanggiajie. Watching from Australia with a cuppa. Thanks .
Ahh that's so nice to hear, thank you so much for the compliment, it really means a lot 🙌
What to say? This place is fantastic. Totally unrealistic. We can say that we envy you a little, but you have shown us scenes that take our breath away. Excellently recorded and excellently edited. Nice guys and take care. Sretana and Zac. 🖐😄🤗
Thanks a lot Sretana and Zac for your sweet comment. I'm really glad you like the video. Take care and have a great week ahead 😊
When you are in this fairy scenery , you will feel like going back to the past , enjoy the beauty of the mountain views , thank you for your video
Yes, that's very true 😊You are welcome and thank you so much for your comment
@@TalesFromAbroad-SJ thank you
I've been to China before and it's unbelievable. The nature is amazing, it's beautiful, the capital looks good, there are no homeless people, it's beautiful and safe. Having said that, I've been there and I feel like going again, but the West says it's not like where I went. It's really beautiful.
Cantik sekali pemandangan disana sangat damai selamat beraktifitas ya
It surely is.. Indeed a peaceful and beautiful place. Thanks for your comment and have a great weekend ahead

Thank you for this breathtaking video of ZJJ, one of the best kept secrets of China.
I totally agree. And thanks for your comment, I appreciate your support 😊
The intro is professionally made, really good!
Thanks a lot, I'm glad you like it 😊
Wonderful video and really beautiful photography! I've been there 6 years ago in December and even it was a bit misty it still shocked me with its unmatchable beauty. Your video made me want to go back again.
Thanks a lot and nice to hear you have been here before. I can see why you want to go back again. I would love to revisit Zhangjiajie. I bet it was quite cold in December?
@@TalesFromAbroad-SJ Indeed we were wearing winter cloth back then but after a while of climbing you don't feel cold anymore. Although the weather was foggy we still have had 3 wonderful days in Wulingyuan national park. According to the locals the mountain views are very different in four seasons, we've only seen the mysterious side of the nature😀
Stunning
Thanks a lot 😊
Chinese water colour paintings always rendered such landscapes with foggy mist now captured into your vlog. Goes to show such images aren't imaginary but real life. Tks for taking me along this trip. 👍🆒👏👏 from 🇲🇾
Yes, I see what you mean.. It's an unreal but real place haha 😝Thank for your comment my friend. Have a great day

China really have the best place to visit...ngl those place are awesome and crazy at the same time...
Yep. The best part is that there are like 1000s of such places that exist in china. China is HUGE and diverse. From Himalayan ice mountains to flat deserts, to tropical oceans to flat wide expansive grass land plains, to lush rainforests.. China has it all.
Yes, it surely is a wonderful country with so much to explore 😊
