Peaks & Trails of Zhangjiajie Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park

Zhangjiajie Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park is one of China's 11 national parks in East Asia, located in the southeastern part of the country. The main feature of the park is its unique and easily recognizable landscape, consisting of hundreds of freestanding peaks, very similar to the pillars covered with greenery. It is so unusual that it served as the filming location for the movie Avatar and is now forever associated with it. However, the park has only one real mountain with two peaks, Tianmen Mountain (1,519 m / 4,983 ft), which is logically its highest and the most prominent point. It is known separately because of the long cableway leading up to it of a total length of 7,455 m (24,459 ft) and the ascent of 1,279 m (4,196 ft). In total there are 2 named mountains in Zhangjiajie Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park.
