About
Quick facts: Imagine more than 3,000 quartzite rock pillars reaching up to 200 meters high, forming a stone forest unique in the world. These pillars inspired the floating scenes in the movie Avatar, making the landscape famous worldwide.
Highlights: Be fascinated by the Bai Long Elevator, the glass elevator that climbs 326 meters up the face of a cliff, offering breathtaking views. Also, explore trails that cross glass suspension bridges where you can literally walk in the clouds.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable clothes and slip-resistant shoes as there are many trails and slippery rocks.
- Arrive early to avoid the biggest crowds and get photos without many people.
- Walk slowly along the Tianzi Mountain path for incredible panoramic views.
- Avoid staying too long on the glass bridges if you feel dizzy as they are high and transparent.
