Zhangjiajie is arguably one of the most beautiful nature areas in all of China and since this was my first time in the country, I knew this was one of the places I had to visit! Known as the Hallelujah Mountains since the area gained even more popularity after the Avatar movie series took inspiration from this area. Understandably this area can get VERY BUSY during peak tourist seasons, so make sure you book your tickets ahead of time and know the basics of what to expect. I hope my video will be helpful in planning your trip!

    I am from Taiwan Province of China, and I have never seen such beautiful natural scenery.
  • @chrischau9960
    How amazing it was as a foreigner to travel the Zhangjiajie National Park all by yourself! The park was so huge, and there were 4 routes A, B, C, and D. From the video, I guess Yours was supposed the B route. You have to plan and know your route very well or you will certainly get lost. I'm from Hong Kong and was there 5 days ago at your exact locations. Love it and I know how busy you were at the same time shooting videos and finding the right roads. Zhangjiajie Park is so beautiful and definitely a must-see, and China has so many gorgeous mountains awaiting you and other foreigners to visit. Enjoy and have fun!

    Alina is a legend! Not so many YouTubers are exploring and introducing the suburbs of China, they are just introducing the city and traditional side of China. Enshi (in western Hubei province) is also worth to go if somebody likes to visit nature scenery.
  • @wlee3400
    There are a lot of Koreans going there. There is a saying in Korea "if you love your parents, take them to Zhanjiajie".
  • @Hearow
    Proud to say this is my hometown.
  • @leahlee8291
    Zhangjuajie really makes one want to go back again and again
  • @wanderbeard
    I don't think fairytale goes far enough to describe how incredible Zhangjiajie looks! Hadn't thought about it much as a destination, but now it's a can't miss! 🔥
  • 1st Alina was in Sri Lanka then she swam over to China. Now she was climb the mountains of Zhangjiajie. Without any climbing tools. And all for her YouTube fans. Savage work ethic
  • @rahuladduri6562
    those alone moments with nature are to be cherished in life forever
  • @ps7880
    That soup was the Chinese wonton soup, also my favorite, I’m 100% sure.😊😊😊
  • @NormanF62
    Zhangjiaje is featured in traditional Chinese painting because of its otherworldly beauty. Its inspired Chinese poets, thinkers and writers for thousands of years. Its the best sight in Hunan province. In all of China and certainly the world.
  • @alexchan8264
    Crazy mind blogging that all these mountains were undersea millions of years ago. New saying 'See Zhangjiajie & die'. Really out of this world. I must go someday. Great great job, Alina. Im liking & subscribing to your channel right now.
