Yuanjiajie is the main background of the very Movie: Avatar, located with hundreds of original pieces of “Floating Avatar Mountains”.(The major one is called:”Hallelujah Mountain.” the view there is really impressive like outer-space. No wonder, it’s rated as the most famous highlighted area in the park. The pillars here are bigger-sized than other areas. Moreover, there is a World Highest Sightseeing Elevator (326m) to be experienced which saves us a lot of time for sightseeing more. The only problem for Yuanjiajie is it would be crowded in high tourism season. So just need to be aware of it.

  • No Shopping,No Hidden Cost.100%Sightseeing Tour With Real Travel Experience

The travel style from Travel Agencies Of China normally is:”Half day of rushy tour, Half day of shopping activities”.Because in order to attract more people to join in their tours. They usually offer low quotation,sometimes, even lower than the real cost, then they turn back to give a heavy pressure on the guide and driver which are little paid or not paid. Then the guide and driver have to steal some portions of your tour time from sightseeing and take you to shops for purchasing stuff to fill the hole of the deficit with the commission,meanwhile get their own income. It’s the common practice for China Tourism. But we decide to take a different way and respect them and their work by paying them a reasonable amount for getting full time travel. It will benefit both.
