About

Why Zhangjiajie?为什么是张家界

Three thousand quartzite sandstone pillars rise straight out of subtropical forest — a landscape found nowhere else on this scale.

三千座石英砂岩峰林从亚热带林海中拔地而起——如此规模的峰林地貌全球独此一处。

UNESCO-listed Wulingyuan inspired the floating Hallelujah Mountains of Avatar — and the real thing out-views the film.

世界遗产武陵源给了《阿凡达》哈里路亚悬浮山灵感——实景比电影更震撼。

Beyond the peaks: a 1,400-metre mountain with a natural arch, the world's longest glass bridge, and Tujia hospitality in old stone villages.

峰林之外:天门洞开的世界高山水洞、世界级玻璃桥,以及土家村寨的滚烫人情。

A Range That Time Carved三亿八千万年的雕刻

380 million years ago this was a shallow sea; eons of erosion sculpted the sandstone into the world's largest quartzite pillar forest.

三亿八千万年前这里是浅海;亿万年流水切割,雕出全球规模最大的石英砂岩峰林。

In 1982 it became China's first national forest park; in 1992 Wulingyuan entered the UNESCO World Heritage list.

1982年这里成为中国第一个国家森林公园;1992年武陵源列入世界自然遗产。

In 2010, the 「Southern Sky Column」 was renamed Avatar Hallelujah Mountain after the blockbuster filmed its inspiration here.

2010年,「南天一柱」正式更名为「阿凡达·哈里路亚山」——电影灵感正取自此峰。

The Tujia classic: cured pork, tofu and turnip stewed in one pot over fire — the name comes from three ingredients, no broth, all smoke and spice.

土家名菜:腊肉、豆腐、萝卜一锅干炖——「三下锅」因此得名,不放汤,全靠火与辣。

Mountain kitchens add their own classics: rock-ear chicken soup, wild honey, and cured meats hanging over the fire all winter.

山里人家另有拿手:岩耳炖土鸡、野蜂蜜,以及吊在火塘上熏了一冬的腊味。
