China's Zhangjiajie national park is home to perhaps the most unique landscape you'll ever see. The Zhangjiajie national forest park holds over 3,000 quartzite rock towers that form an incredible forest in the sky, complete with foggy peaks and lush greenery. These pinnacles, some of which are over 1 kilometer (!) high, were the inspiration for the floating mountains in the Avatar movie. Let's go get some vertigo, shall we? ;)
We cannot recommend visiting the Avatar mountains China highly enough if you are (thinking of) planning in the region! 张家界
We hope you enjoyed this China vlog & the Avatar mountains of Zhangjiajie China - there are many more to come as we travel China for the next few weeks!

#Avatar #Zhangjiajie #China
Best day of our China trip so far! Loved, loved, LOVED the Avatar mountains :) what's the best landscape you've ever seen? We'd love to know! Thank you for watching and please subscribe so you don't miss out on the other incredible stuff China has to offer. We'd love to have you join us for the ride. See you in the next one?
Actually,Huangshan mountain (Yellow Mountain)beautiful scenery better than Avatar mountain .
Wait till you visit Jiu Zai Gou （九寨沟）. Best time to go there is 3rd or 4th week of October. You have less tourists and beautiful autumn.
Hi, friend! Zhangjiajie is a tourist destination in China, beautiful scenery, like a fairyland, I am in Shanghai, I did not go to Zhangjiajie
You should try the 350 meter tall Bailong Elevator as well, super exciting!
This is not the most beautiful place in China. If you want to visit the most beautiful place in China, you should go to Western Sichuan. Western Sichuan is like the Switzerland of China, except that it is poor compared with the real Switzerland. You should definitely visit Jiuzhaigou, Huanglong, and Mount Siguniang. If you visit these places, then you don't need to visit any other places in China.
Here are the wikipedia pages of the above places:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiuzhaigou
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huanglong_Scenic_and_Historic_Interest_Area
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Siguniang
We have to thank the birds who carry the seeds to the tops of the hills so trees can grow.
True! Thank you birds, for making this view even more epic!
Indeed, the trees on top of those pinnacles make the views so much more interesting! Have you been to Zhangjiajie?
Wind: where is my credit?
Not really
Ahahaha 🤣 wind & dragons, awesome 😊👌🏻
by pooping on them 😂
This landscape is absolutely incredible! I can understand the tears 😊
Thanks guys 😉 how's the planning for your own trip going? That's in a month or so, right?
@@NaickKim It's great! We just started to gather staff we will need. New backpacks, hiking shoes and we already have our ticket on 20th November! We will spent some time in Czech republic with Kristyna's family, few days in Budapest and head to South America 🙂can't wait! And you? how's China? So far it looks great!
Sounds good! You guys will love South America. China has been incredible so far. We couldn't have imagined the sheer diversity of things to do here. We are already talking about when we can come back haha. So much culture, history, big cities, small towns,... We are very big fans. Where are you starting in South America?
I may also shed tears when I go there.
Hope you get to visit soon 😊🤞🏻 such an incredible place... 😍
I went on a foggy day and there were so many clouds that it looked like a fairyland.
Yes we saw some pictures for sale there that were taking when there were clouds in between. Really beautiful.
I was there this year and it's definitely the highlight of my three month trip in China.
Fully agree! One of the highlights of our year!
I am proud of my country when I saw you crying because of the beautiful scenery. Welcome to China.
NowA NevA I don’t care about you said. Poor guy.
Thanks to nature
We should be go out hongkong imgrate coward, before citizenship to review
@NowA NevA then go ahead n free HK if you have the capability
@NowA NevA most meaningless point of view.
As a guy from Zhangjiajie, I feel very glad that you two love the scenery and many thanks for letting more people around world know this place.
And Zhangjiajie has high-speed trains now 🎉, more convenient, right? Maybe the tour guide for foreigners is not friendly enough, but it is getting better and better.
Thanks you two Naick & Kim again, and a very welcome for all the people to visit China and Zhangjiajie, 谢谢😉～
We really loved Zhangjiajie! One of the most incredible places we have ever been 😳😍
What a landscape!!! More than beautiful. Hope you will discover more of these.
Yes it was incredible. We will look for more.
Not sure if we'll ever manage to find a landscape that's even better than this, but we'll gladly keep looking. Still so in awe when I was rewatching the drone shots of these amazing Avatar mountains
The search is on 🏃♂️🏃♀️
Naick & Kim Go try chocolate hills of Bohol.
I haven`t been there yet though I`m a Chinese person. I`m so touched by the landscape and also feel grateful that you guys make videos introducing China`s beauty.
Hi Johnny, glad you liked it!! We never expected China to be this beautiful, you hardly ever see these places featured anywhere. So we're glad we got to share them in our videos :) thanks for watching!
insanely beautiful.
Yes it is incredible!
welcome you friends to my hometown. love the mountains and rivers too.
Great video, you got great weather, such clear views. Just back from there few months ago. One of the days was so foggy we could only make out tiny bits of the peaks, yet it was still so magical... I also noticed we missed so much, and you seem to have missed so much too, the cable car ride up was unbelievable, there is also a glass elevator ride, escalators, and glass walkways, and mini train ride too.
Truly awesome place, and unique views, oh, nearly forgot, there's a live musical show at the bottom of the mountain every evening, specially constructed into the base of the mountain, with lake, village, and lights, breathtaking.
We did spend a second day in the park exploring more, which we didn't film. But you can easily spend more time there.
Me and my husband stay at ZhangJiaJie over a week for our second honeymoon, the local people took us to some very private view point that very very beautiful and we also had some really good local smoke food that soooooooooo delicious!
Thanks for sharing your experience and the beautiful landscape with us.
you are welcome!
Thank you for showing the most beautiful view of my country to the world. I love you guys.
Kim, I have seen quite a few videos of your China trip, but this is brings out your best facial features on those close-up shots. You are a beautiful woman!
I knew Zhangjiajie was beautiful from friends who had been there but looking at your video made me think of going there too. I would have shed tears too... Really beautiful.
Oh go there Jeffrey! You will love it 😘
I like it where you have the light background music at the main scene, very awe inspiring :)
Thanks a lot, glad you liked it!
Love the part where you teared up, I can understand, this is nature's work of art.
Thanks Jackson 😊
Looks like an alien planet, just like Avatar!
Yes, it does, it is so amazing!
This is indeed one of the locations where Avatar was filmed
哈哈，谢谢😎
China is really a great country.
It is a very beautiful country!
China is very big
welcome to China❤️
@@-roe7197 Thanks. Would love to visit China.
Apart from the dog eating yes
China truly has some amazingly beautiful scenery ❤️👍❤️
This is beautiful. I dream to be there.
Absolutely amazing!!!
Thanks a lot! Any plans of going to China?
That’s definitely an amazing spot for visiting.
So beautiful
It's a dream come true!!
Stunningly beautiful!!! I couldn't help imagining a grand orchestral movement with a huge strings and horn section as we watched. Proof that the images alone work to inspire :)
By the way, love the quality of your camera. Even the scene with you guys in the bed at the end was color and focus perfect.
Thanks for this share,
Best, James and Kim
The images would indeed go well with some very dramatic music. I was already thinking about doing a drone video on China.
We're really happy with our camera (Canon 80D). It has been absolutely amazing so far. We film in a very 'flat mode' (contrast and saturation set to a minimum) and then add in colours and contrast in premiere pro. It makes the footage look a lot nicer.
@@NaickKim Funny, I remember way back in 2000 the first digital camera technicians suggesting filming this way too. And for the benefit of same post production flexibility! We'll have to try this, thanks:)
I was still busy playing with action heroes at that time haha.
Oh yes, also turn the sharpening down on your camera and add that in later. Newer cameras usually also have a 'log' mode, which has almost no contrast and saturation. It looks super bad when you view it, but it has the greatest flexibility in terms of colour grading and giving it a look. Especially the dynamic range is improved a lot with this.
breathtaking
Yes this place is really something special!
Really beautiful. Amazing mountain
Glad you enjoyed it. It's really amazing!
Wow! That place looks incredible! See the stairs made me tired 😂😂
Hahaha. It was actually alright. Except the part of going up the pinnacle, which was a pretty steep climb. But it was worth it!
Naick & Kim that is so true, the view in that place is amazing!!!
Great video. I have been to China many times. First time around 1995. This place is amazing, and, looks like it is on my bucket list . Good work :-)
Super beautiful view!
Stunning!
The highlight of our China trip.
Thank you guys for bringing my hometown to the world 🌎
You are welcome! What an incredible town to grow up in! Where do you live now?
Naick & Kim Its amazing to grow up in the small city indeed;I’m currently living in Changsha, the capital city of hunan province, which is 3-hour drive from zhangjiajie
amazing and beautiful video. I can't stop loving it
It was the most beautiful place in China for us.
We had been there around 8-9 years ago, it’s also my favorite trip in China. Miss there~
Yes it's an amazing place! Thanks for watching and have a nice day.
I have been there once following ground travelling. Your detailed information is much more than the scenaries I had seen. Thank you for bringing me the beautiful memory.
Thank you! Glad you liked it. When did you visit?
@@NaickKim 2016 September
I was tearing up just by looking at the view through the screen.
Ow that's great! The landscape is very touching!
omg the view is amazing!!!!! thank you for showing us this video
you are very welcome, thank YOU for watching it :)
Thank you for sharing. It is beautiful. Hope to go one day. I was visited Huang Shan in 2015, another gorgeous mountain in China.
Thank you for you to introduce the scenery of China
Thanks a lot for watching😍👍
Great view, wonderful music!
Thank you!
Sorry for that elder guy using body language try to make you move aside, he don't meant to be rude, it just that he don't speak English, really don't know how to express himself.
Majority of people in China are very friendly, have good time with your vacation in China
It was not a problem haha. The people in China have been nothing but kind to us.
Naick & Kim exactly, thank you for your understanding, now you're in China, you can feel Chinese people with your own eyes, enjoy~~
可是很多时候并不是你说的语言问题，就是不礼貌，认为自己是老人，人家都得让他们，碰到人也从不说对不起。
Wendy 你说的也没错 ，但是国民素质的提升需要时间和文化的熏陶。在这之前我们只能尽自己一点点的能力尽量维护国家的形象。不然还能怎么办呢？
@@gcz6520 年轻人确实好很多。
Zhangjiajie is my hometown, Zhangjiajie is very beautiful! I love Zhangjiajie!
it must be cool to live there! Have you also been to the glass bridge and the mountain?
I've been there last September. It's really amazing ! Proud to be a Chinese ! We have so many breathing taking scenery all over the country ! You may not finish them in a few years. Luckily we have modernized the infrastructure all over the country and hence, these gorgeous scenery become more easily accessible to visitors.
Yes getting around is super easy in China and the scenery is just out of this world! Some of the very best we have seen on our travels so far 😊
真的是很令人感到驚訝的地形景觀，很美很壯觀
Yes, this is one of the most beautiful and unique places we have been.
Oh goodness, I definitely need to go there someday.
hi tankman😶😶🤐🤐
Great video guys. Very genuine and sincere reactions. Just put this on our bucket list.
Love it ! Well done guys! Wanna see more of these
Yangshuo is coming up! Better get ready ;)
Love you guys! We met on the boat from Guilin to YangShuo. Happy travels!
Thank you so much! You were sitting at our table, and you live in the US, right?

You are very good photographers! I have never been there before. Thanks for posting the video.
Thank you for watching 😉
If you can only visit 1 national park in China, make it this one! A little dizziness from staring off the plateau down to those huge pinnacles isn't so bad ;) would love to visit the Avatar mountains again some day!
Would be sooo cool to abseil off those pinnacles but I doubt that's allowed 😅
Nice! Really love you video! Thanks!
thanks, glad you liked it! hard not to with a landscape like that, I guess :)
Love your video.
The Southern Air Temple. Omg I'm a huge fan of Avatar (the real one, from Nickelodeon). I really want to go there
So Lush and green and blue and beautiful. No wonder avatar filmed there.China is actually full of countless beauty, green natural scenic places like that. China is a Huge country.
good view
Yes it is so beautiful!
What a beautiful natural beauty lucky couple who enjoy the beautiful locations in various countries all over the world wonderful
👍😍
The beautiful place ever seen

We agree it is a really wonderful and special place!

I love you channel,thanks for sharing. I miss my country so much.
Thank you Lili! Where are you living now?
I am living in USA now
Lovely couple
自然风景，人文景观，拍的都很漂亮，祝你们在中国旅行愉快，快乐每一天。😀
Squeezing through the narrow rocks climbing up the face of the rocks, is very similar to what I experienced at the five Buddha park in North East China. The main difference is it five Buddha park you climb up the face of the with just t toe holes and holes for your hands instead of reinforcing bar ladders that they made.
Wow that sounds intense! Have you heard of the plank walk near Xi'an (Huashan I think the place was called)? That looks pretty insane too 😱😁
These old people like photos, one time I travel with a group old people, I have to take photos for my roomates practically every few steps at every site.
Hahaha. Yes, Chinese people seem very fond of their pictures. But then again, we are the ones with a camera filming everything.
hahaha that's true.
I won't be someone's cameraman because of their curiosity with foreigners. Lol
@@sarahmahalingami7792 I don't want to be on the old man's bad side. I have to put up with that.
hope u enjoy your trip. Welcome 😄
Thank you!
Thats so funny kim need to squeeze through that wall Naick no where been seeing. Hahahaha
Yeah he was right behind me 😊 thanks for watching!
Great video. Really want to visit this place 😃. Hopefully sooner 🙏😊
Thank you for sharing.
You are very welcome Stanley! Hope you can visit soon!!

Thanks a lot!
Nice series.
Thank you!
