We spent 3 days exploring Zhangjiajie, China, also know as the real-life Avatar mountains. In this video, we share our honest opinion of the national park and show you the two must do hikes. We compare Zhangjiajie to our previous national park experiences in Europe and tell you that the two philosophies of nature actually differ a lot. Our favorite hikes: 1) Golden Whip Stream (2.5-3 hours one way) 2) Tianbo Mansion (3 hours return) Entry pass: all-inclusive ticket (55 euros per person) Accommodation location: Wulingyuan town (5 minutes by foot to the East Entrance of the national park) China essentials: Payment: apps AliPay and WeChat Ride hailing: Didi app Navigation: Amap For tickets/ experiences/ tours: Trip.com Filmed in April, 2026 on Sony ZV-e10
