1. Zhangjiajie’s “Floating” Peaks — like Avatar’s Hallelujah Mountains!
Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is a natural wonder https://peraditasikmalaya.id/ rivaling Bryce Canyon or Monument Valley. The sandstone pinnacles are grouped together tightly like a forest of 200-meter-tall, greenish-white cedars. There is great biodiversity, and when there is a fog or mist, the spires seem to float in the air like in Avatar.How did this natural landmark inspire Avatar? See in person on our customizable 4-Day Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, Grand Canyon Glass Bridge and Tianmen Mountain Tour, giving you an impressive experience of the essence of this World Heritage site.
2. Li River Karst Scenery — the Pearl of Guilin
When it comes to China’s natural landmarks, the Li River with its pointy hills must be included in the list. Few places have deeply weathered limestone hills like the Li River in Guangxi. A cruise boat makes the acclaimed ‘best hills and river under heaven’ more accessible, so that many more formations can be quickly and easily viewed along the 51-mile (83-kilometer) stretch between Guilin and Yangshuo.
3. Mount Everest — World’s Highest Wonder
Mount Everest is unique because it is the world’s highest mountain. It is on the border of Tibet and Nepal. A trip to Everest Base Camp in Tibet would make for a transcendent experience amongst epic scenery. We can help arrange a tour that might be one of the greatest adventures of your life.
4. Tiger Leaping Gorge — Breathtaking
Tiger Leaping Gorge on the Yangtze River near the city of Lijiang has the distinction of being one of the deepest canyons in the world, yet it narrows to “a tiger’s leap” at one point. The canyon is 16 km (10 miles) long and 4 km (13,000 ft) deep, and it is one of China’s premier hiking areas with convenient ethnic inns along the trail.
5. Jiuzhaigou — Rainbow-Colored Alpine Fairyland
There are not a lot of valleys like Jiuzhaigou’s with big turquoise pools. The multi-hued pools, high mountain glacier scenery, wildlife, and waterfalls are at an elevation between 2,000 and 3,000 meters (around 8,000 feet). The white capped peaks tower to 4,700 meters. Fall is especially colorful.
What are the highlights of Jiuzhaigou’s 700 sq km (270 sq mi) national park and the best way to see them? We can create a Jiuzhaigou tour that’s best for you.
